About this property

This stunning, house is set in the quaint town of Rothesay on the beautiful Isle of Bute. Situated in a lovely hilltop location, the property enjoys glorious sea views and a large flourishing garden. The traditional interior has been lovingly refurbished to provide a welcoming accommodation for families and friends looking to explore this remote part of Scotland. Hearty feasts can easily be prepared in the kitchen, equipped with several integrated appliances, whilst the dining area provides ample seating so everyone can gather during mealtimes. There are two sitting rooms here, one of which has a TV, whilst both enjoy fabulous views of the sea and the passing boats. The rest of the ground floor is occupied by a utility with washer/dryer, a shower room and a twin room for added flexibility. Move upstairs to discover the four bedrooms, including two doubles and a twin, all of which are beautifully furnished and served by the family bathroom with bath and walk-in shower. Outside are magnificent gardens to explore and plenty of nearby walks through the woodlands and towards the coast. Just a mile away is the main island town of Rothesay and where you will find castle ruins, a harbour and a selection of shops, not to mention Mount Stuart House, which is a very popular attraction. To the North of Rothesay, through the small community of Port Bannatyne, lies Ettrick Bay, a lovely beach which is easily accessible and safe for swimming. If you wish to explore more of Scotland, then catch a ferry across to Glasgow and make use of the fabulous attractions and amenities. A quality accommodation on this unspoilt Scottish island. EPC Rating: Band D

Rothesay is a wonderful area in the Isle of Bute, with so much to see and do, including visiting the castle ruins, taking in the stunning scenery, discovering the wonderful Mount Stuart House and playing a game of golf on one of the island's three golf courses. Accessed via a ferry crossing, either from Wemyss Bay or from the crossing to the north of the island from Colintraive, this is a beautiful area to explore.
