We had a great stay in this flat. The location is great and the view from the living room was amazing (Would be happy to watch the ferries come and go drinking tea for ages!). It's a great base to explore Bute. Kitchen is well stocked and host was very responsive. We were short on some disposibles for our stay (dish cloths and toilet paper) and although clean enough for us, may not have been for others.

Fantastic views across the Bay, the changing light/weather mean that the view changes all day. Host left binoculars for ship spotting. Supplied kitchen equipment was fine. Location easy to reach from ferry at Rothesay. Host left useful info about activities on the island. Quick response from host to messages.

Lovely view

Bright, clean and comfortable apartment with lovely view over the bay. We had issues accessing the keys but owners representative on the island solved issue quickly. Only downside was the stairs, they were a lot steeper than we anticipated. We are an older couple and struggled to get our luggage in and out of the flat.

Great base for a few night on Bute

As a family with two small children, the apartment was ideal. Beds were comfy, kitchen was well equipped, and the view from the sitting room to die for! The kids loved using the binoculars to look at the boats in the bay. The bathroom is small with just a shower (no bath) but fine for a few days. 5-minute drive from the big Co-op in Rothesay.

Gem of a property

Highly recommend this flat, very clean and tidy. Received full instructions from the host who also kept in touch during the holiday, making sure everything was okay. Magnificent views across the sea from the living room window. Nice and quiet. Well equipped kitchen with everything you need. Extremely comfortable beds, the most comfortable I’ve ever come across. WiFi was very strong.

Great apartment

The apartment is clean and comfortable with great views. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking although apart from salt, pepper and cooking oil there were no other basics such as tea and coffee.Communication with the owner was excellent. It was easy to park in front of the property. It might not suit those with mobility issues as the (internal) stairs to the property are quite steep. We enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return.

We spent the New Year on Bute and the was in the perfect location not only for its views over the Firth, but also for exploring the rest of the island. It did feel a little chilly on arrival, but with the clear instructions we were soon able to get it feeling nice and warm. We had to extend our visit for another night as we didn't realise the ferries didn't run on Bank Holiday, but this was not a problem - for Campbell or for us!! Campbell was extremely helpful before and during our visit, so a big thank you!

A well-appointed, spacious flat with gorgeous views

We had a lovely long weekend at Campbell's property in Ardbeg. It was super convenient to meet up with family staying in Rothesay - just a 3 minute drive - and incredibly easy to get to anywhere on the island by car. We also enjoyed some scenic morning walks - and one chilly swim - with the dog. The flat was very comfortable, the living room has stunning views from the large bay window, and the kitchen was well equipped. Campbell was excellent at communicating before and during the tenancy, I'd love to visit again soon. again

Beautiful Bute

The upper apartment was really good. Clean, comfortable and spacious with terrific views across Rothesay Bay. It as well equipped and everything seemed to be working ok Couple of minor concerns: 1. Parking was off road as driveway narrow and unsuitable for parking 2. Kitchen floor covering in need of replacement. Was sticky and tacky underfoot and had a tear in the middle of the floor. In a food preparation area this could be dangerous 3. Bedside lamps( candlestick style were extremely difficult to switch on and off Otherwise our stay was really good and we enjoyed our trip to Bute NB We had no contact with property manager but the owner communicated really well and very helpful
