Situated in the heart of the conservation area of Mount Pleasant, on the Isle of Bute, is this three bedroom apartment. This beautiful second floor apartment is a 5 minute walk to Rothesay town centre and the islands main ferry port and also boasts partial sea views of the Firth of Clyde; we will provide the binoculars! We are also dog friendly, from Dachshund to Great Dane, we don’t discriminate! The outstandingly beautiful and historic Island of Bute is situated at the heart of the Firth of Clyde, off Scotland’s west coast.
Rothesay has a lovely promenade, with its stunning ever-changing views across the bay, the gardens with award-winning floral displays, the Isle of Bute discovery centre with tourist information and cinema, castle, museum, ferry terminal, bus terminal, supermarkets, cafés and restaurants. There is plenty to do on the Isle of Bute, from adventure experiences to watching wildlife to visiting historical sites. There are many popular walks around the island, including the West Island Way. There are three golf courses, 9, 13 and 18 holes, on the island along with a putting green in Rothesay. There are sandy beaches galore where, if lucky, you can spy ospreys, terns, basking sharks, humpback whales, dolphins and seals.
The Isle of Bute has been an important island historically, with marks left on the island that can be visited, from standing stones to the location of a Viking parliament and more recently Rothesay Castle. Mount Stuart House and Gardens offers a fantastic day visit and the St Blane’s Chapel is situated in a tranquil corner of the island. The Discovery Centre houses a ninety-seven seater cinema with weekly showings. In the summer you can book tickets to take a trip on the famous paddle steamer The Waverley. Port Bannantyne offers a marina, pubs, restaurant, post office/shop and petanque club. The main ferry crossing from Wemyss Bay to Rothesay takes approximately 35 minutes and for access to the Cowal Peninsula the ferry from Rhubodach to Colintraive, only a 10-minute drive away, takes only 3 minutes, both do not need to be booked in advance.
