Beautiful flat with windows along the width of the property offering panoramic views to Bute and we could even see Arran away in the distance.. Watching the moon rise and reflect on the sea was magical. We had two stunning, sunny days and so took advantage of the beautiful local walks. A really lovely, friendly area to visit and our only regret was we couldn’t stay longer. The flat was spotless, warm and comfortable and had everything we needed. We’ll definitely visit again.

This accommodation was amazing the views and the location was perfect.. Everyone was so friendly, pub over the road did good food and was dog friendly and well a stocked shop next door was a bonus. Don’t be put off by the steps or the parking it was so worth it to have the pleasure of staying in such a lovely location so close to the sea. The weather was wet but it was always good to get back to the flat as it was so lovely and warm.

Truly a fantastic seaside holiday property! Views are outstanding across the water to the island of Bute. Space is amazing and the long window seat is perfect for relaxing and watching yachts drift by and seabirds on or beside the water. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with all you will need and we loved the touch of a welcoming tea/coffee tray for the two of us on our arrival. Bed was comfortable and bathroom was also thoughtfully equipped. There were two other bedrooms which we didn't need, one a single and the other with a bunk bed, so the flat is ideal for a family break. We had fabulous weather all weekend and it was so peaceful to enjoy a glass of wine in the back garden sitting at the wall which overlooks the shore and sea. This was a very, last minute break and the owner was really helpful in organising this for us which was very much appreciated. All in all a PERFECT chill out weekend flat - or week if you're very lucky!

It was just perfect.. Such a well stocked little home, I hardly needed to bring anything but clothes! We had a fabulous time - it rained relentlessly but the view more than made up for it. Fantastic fishing to be had, brilliant neighbours, comfy beds (soooo cozy!) and an all round wonderful week. Thank you so much Rhonda and Brenda. Just lovely. We will definitely be coming again.

A nice spot, though the area tends to slow down and in a lot of cases things are shut for winter by the beginning of November.. The flat itself is as advertised, though the view is incredible and the pictures really don't do it justice. The wood provided for the fireplace was not nearly enough, though we were informed that bringing our own was advised as the local supply was unpredictable. Electricity heaters were also great, though the power is prepaid and there is an extra cost if you run out -don't worry though, we were provided with more than enough for our stay. Everything was amazing. a really good place to stay, and the locals are very open and friendly. The local restaurant across the road (Botanica) is really good, the pub was very homely and the driving in the area is lovely, with quite (if narrow in places) roads.

The flat we stayed in had outstanding views over the Kyles of Bute,although there was only 2 of us and a small dog there is plenty of room for a family of 4 or 5.. The people in the village were extremely pleasant always stopping to talk to us and the flat was ideally situated very close to the local shops and across from the local hotel.

Fab holiday and a fantastic location.. The ONLY reason we wouldn't re-book this accommodation is that we have now explored this area, and there are so many more places to visit. Would definitely recommend it to other families wanting a comfortable, reasonably priced holiday in the area. The view from the panoramic lounge windows is just fabulous - you'd never get bored of it! The only comment I would make is that the pictures on your website show a telescope in the lounge, which isn't there in reality. Fortunately we had taken 3 sets of binoculars, and there was a set there too.

There were wonderful views from the flat and plenty of amenities on the doorstep. A lovely place to stay.

After a lovely scenic drive we arrived at this holiday flat. The two flights of steps to reach the flat are a bit steep, especially when you are carrying things in to or out of the flat. So make sure you are fit, or you will be stopping to catch your breath mid climb. Once inside you are greeted by a bright spacious open plan area with a huge wall of windows giving a great view across the water. The main bedroom is spacious & the double bed is very comfy, allowing for a good nights sleep. The kitchen has everything you would need during your stay. Situated in a quiet setting, noise is not a problem. The village was very quiet during our stay, but everyone you met was friendly & gave a greeting or stopped for a chat. As we has our dogs with us I managed to get in some walks around the village & took in the views around the area. Look out for the herons which frequent the waters edge & the nearby pier. Trying to take their picture is an ordeal as they seem to sense when your finger is about to press the shutter & off they fly. The hotel across from the flat is worth a visit. Not far to stagger home after a nice meal or drink. Then the dual fuel stove in the flat gives of a fair heat, if the weather turns chilly. All in all a very nice flat for a relaxing break in lovely surroundings.

The flat was perfectly situated in the village with a view to die for. The flat was the best well equipped flat we have ever stayed in. A wonderful holiday!

We had a great week here the flat was comfortable, great kitchen and all equipment worked. we spent a lot of time enjoying the view from the huge window. Comfy sofas. third bedroom which we didn't need was small and with a velux window. ok for a child. 2nd bedroom bunks, again ok for children. Parking on the street outside was never a problem. Steps up to door and then into flat so not ideal for any with mobility problems.

The views from the flat window were outstanding. It is an amazing location!

Guest

External picture undersells the flat - from the inside the view is as good as any beautiful place in Scotland. The village it is in is far removed from the 21st century, exuding peace and calm from which you can view a community that is easy going and friendly. Around the country are beaches and marinas all a short journey away. The stairs to the flat require a slow-going climb.
