We were a group of six adults and found the house delightful and very spacious. The direct access onto the balcony with some shelter from the odd light shower and with fabulous views was certainly a bonus. All bedrooms are a good size and the decor throughout is bright and modern. The owner was available if needed, and sent suggestions for places Read moreto go and things to see. There was a relatively minor issue which was raised with the owner and was happily resolved within an hour or so. We did lovely walks in both directions from the house and the Colintraive Hotel is about 50 metres from the front door, they serve lovely food and have friendly, helpful staff. Overall this is a lovely house in a fabulous location. Hide

A great spot for a family reunion. Very spacious and the views of the Kyles of Bute were amazing along with the sheep. Plenty of hot water and bathroom/showers. Spacious bedrooms. Also appreciated being able to bring our dog on holiday too. Lots to explore in this part of Scotland and Bute was only a few moments away on the ferry which was within aRead more stones throw of the house. The hotel was good for food, but not such a great place for drinks as the bar was not very welcoming. We so enjoyed our daily walks along through Colintraive and exploring around Loch Fyne and Loch Awe also. Hide

Patricia made sure we had all we needed in this very comfortable and roomy house beside the beautiful island of Bute. The large basket of logs was particularly appreciated so that we could enjoy the log burner. The locals in the friendly pub could not have been more welcoming and we had an excellent meal there. Good local walks, a great beach at EtRead moretrick Bay and the Bute gin distillery in Rothesay were all part of our wonderful holiday experience. Thank you. Hide

A fantastic property with amazing views and enough space for a large group. Comfort is right up there too.
