ABOUT THE AREA
Referred to as “The Jewel of the Clyde”, the Isle of Bute is located in the Firth of Clyde and is the most accessible of Scotland’s islands, located only 45 mins West of Glasgow. 14 miles long and 8 miles wide at its widest, it is an emerald gem with golden beaches set in a sea of azure blue. The Highland Boundary Fault runs across Bute resulting in extraordinarily varied landscapes, rugged in the north dominated heather moorland, much gentler in the south with lush, rolling hills and farmland. A rocky crag rises at the most southerly tip, making Bute a haven for walking, cycling, fishing, horse riding and wildlife.
Standing stones at St Blanes and the vitrified Iron Age fort at Dunagoil testify to every phase of Scottish history. The north of the island, with its variety of woodland and open moorland, is one of the most extraordinary bird habitats in the West of Scotland, while the waters around the island are among the finest in Europe for wildlife.
The Royal Burgh of Rothesay, the island’s main town, has a most splendid Victorian frontage, reflected in the town’s architecture which ensircles Rothesay Bay. There are two putting greens at the esplanade gardens and bowling greens in Rothesay, Craigmore and Ardbeg. Rothesay leisure centre has a 25m pool, a fitness pool and sauna. Port Bannatyne is situated in Kames Bay with a remarkable13-hole golf course and beautiful horseshoe-shaped bay, a favourite anchorage for passing yachts.
Kilchattan Bay lies in a sheltered bay a mile from Kingarth, with a beautiful beach, a favourite for generations of holidaymakers. It is also the starting point for the exciting West Island Way walk. Kerrycroy is a peaceful village with a fine sandy beach and stone pier. It was designed by the 1st Marquess of Bute and inspired by the model of an English village.
Ettrick Bay is a beautiful broad expanse of sandy beach, about a mile long, with superb views across to the Isle of Arran and the Kintyre peninsula, while Scalpsie Bay is home to a large colony of seals.

“Rothesay Bute”
Had a very relaxing week split between Westview and Grand Marine appartments. Both extremely comfortable, with everything you might need and fantastic views overlooking the bay and further. Both fantastic bases to see the island from, close to shops and amenities. Can highly recommend

“Best view ever and perfect location”
This was our first time on Bute and we spent two weeks in this gorgeous flat July-August 2021. The flat is very accessible from the ferry terminal and also for buses and amenities, which are within a short walk. No car needed. The views from the bedroom and the living room are breathtaking, with the sea just across the road. Great for bad weather as the sea is still right there. The flat was very comfy and well equipped, though not particularly luxurious - but good value for money. When we arrived there was a leak in the bathroom but this was dealt with quickly and professionally. We found the customer service excellent overall from Ulrike. One thing to note though is that the road is surprisingly noisy (quiet at night but pretty noisy in the morning and afternoon) even for us, and we are based in Birmingham. It didn't spoil the stay but could be an issue for some people.

“My best ever self-catering experience”
I loved, loved, loved the Grand Marine apartment, which I had booked for myself to celebrate my retirement after 35 years of teaching. I had never been to Bute before, but wanted an island break where I could both relax "at home" and explore the area. Grand Marine alowed me to do both. The apartment is very, very comfortable with all the amenities one would expect and more and all decorated in a light and fresh manner. Not surprisingly, I spent a lot of time sitting by the living room windows looking at the exceptional views. Although the weather during my stay was mixed, it was simply wonderful to be able to watch the water and sky change, the ferry come in and out...... The flat also was an excellent base for visiting all the many attractions of Bute, with Mount Stuart and seal-watching at Scalpsie Bay particular highlights. Nothing was very far away or particularly difficult to find or get to. Yes, Grand Marine is on the second floor, but worth every step. I've stayed in several self-catering flats and houses before, but this is very definitely my favourite - a wonderful start to my retirement Thank you so much for having me!

“comfortable flat with outstanding views”
The flat is very comfortable - large living room, comfortable bed, good shower, well-appointed kitchen. And a most wonderful view from the large living room windows. I loved watching the sea, the clouds, the weather and the ferry going in an out and I loved the sound of the waves in the morning. Close to ferry, town, shops, restaurants, good grocery store so very convenient. We had a lovely quiet week to ourselves, enjoying some walks along the seaside and through the hills and enjoying the view first thing with coffee or last thing with a glass of wine. I'd definitely come back and stay here again.
