A fantastic location, right on the seafront, about a twenty minute walk from the town centre. Can be a little chilly in winter but is clean and well equipped. Host replies promptly to messages and is very helpful.

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!

Super week in Bute
This flat is wonderful with amazing sea views. Well appointed and a good heating system. We had a lovely week discovering Bute. Recommend the weekly jam session at the Anchor At Port Ballantine. Most places accept dogs and there’s some good food to be had in local cafes and bars.

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

Stunning views
We were very lucky with the weather while we stayed. Friendly people everywhere we went. Holiday home was very spacious everything you needed was there Downside to our stay beds were very uncomfortable 6 adults all said the same thing, a new mattress on every bed would be recommended to make the holiday more comfortable I know that's a bit of expense but sadly that's the only reason why I wouldnt stay again, as my back is still suffering. Views were amazing, can't fault Isle of Bute for a holiday

6 week stay
I have just enjoyed a 6 week stay at the property and i have to say its been the most pleasant experience. The flat is warm, comfortable and clean and has everything you would ever need including a washing machine and kitchen appliances, wifi and smart tv. The area is quiet and being situated on the coastal road the views are fabulous. There is on street parking outside the flat and i never had any problems finding a space to park. The owner frequently kept in touch to make sure everything was ok and there were no issues. If you are looking to stay at rothesay i would definetely recommend booking this property. I certainly will be back.

Bute weekend
Great communication with Campbell and easy to find and access the property. Positives - great location and views and very quiet and peaceful. Flat is clean and equipped with all basics. Double bed mattress is soft which is good for some but obviously not for others. Negatives - Galley kitchen is compact however as only 1 light was working it can be a little dark and linoleum has a hole in it. Shower is a bit fiddly and not great pressure but enough to shower properly. Good location and fine for spending a few days to explore Bute.
