Cottage holiday rentals in Bute

My friend and I chose this cottage for a quiet getaway with our dogs and it was just what we hoped it would be. We were welcomed by Barbara and Graeme upon arrival and they were very kind and helpful if we had any queries at all. The place was spotless and had everything we needed. The views from the bedrooms were stunning and there were plenty walks nearby the property, which were especially lovely in the evening with the sunsets. It was the perfect scenic escape we needed. Thank you Barbara and Graeme (and Rosie the golden retriever of course!).

A great getaway with loads to do close by for whatever mood you're in - great towns and cities like Calendar and Stirling less than half an hour away, equally beautiful countryside and multiple waterfalls, lochs and walks to choose from on the doorstep. Our toddler loved the on site swimming pool and the grown ups enjoyed the peaceful views from the hot tub too! Rosie was so friendly and accommodating.

We had an amazing stay. The cottage was beautiful and the surrounding views were breathtaking. Marcin was an attentive host and we would definitely recommend this place!

This was our 2nd stay at March Cottage. The addition of the log burner in the front room and bedroom is great. We will definitely return for a 3rd visit.

Clare’s place was simply amazing! It is beautiful and well thought out. It has everything you need to feel right at home. We cooked some meals for our kids and the kitchen was well equipped for everything we made. The animals and wildlife around the house was an added bonus and kept the kids very entertained, along with the little play area to the side of the house. We will definitely be back if we were in this part of the world again :)

Beautiful property - spacious house for 8 of us. Provided everything we needed, including towels, robes, tea/coffee and much more. Even gave us a welcome gift which was lovely! Highlight was definitely the hot tub and sauna which was relaxing and well needed after a hike up Ben Nevis. Very responsive hosts and always checking in to make sure everything was okay. Will definitely return again if back in the area! Thank you so much! 🫶🏽

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Not only does the place look fantastic but it is extremely homey and comfortable. The host Lynne was super prepared for our stay and had a high chair set up for our baby along with baby wipes readily available. A lovely welcome pack left in the fridge for us which was greatly appreciated. The property had so much to offer from a large spacious garden with a games garage with a pool table and plenty of garden games, A hot tub and patio furniture (All of which in fabulous condition) to beautiful soft furnishing indoors, with comfortable bedding and fresh towels on each bed. An excellent kitchen with all the things you would need and a local shop at the end of the road that’s easily accessible. Short drive to Ayr beach and all that has to offer also so is perfect to be able to enjoy the sea side but come back to a quiet residential space at the end of the day. 10/10 stay and would highly recommend to anyone looking to visit the area.

Thank you Donna! Fantastic place, gorgeous location and so, so helpful! Would recommend this to anyone traveling to see us and staying in the area! Top host, extremely friendly and so helpful.

We had an excellent stay in Sue's well-appointed, comfortable and cosy accommodation. We loved the view from the dining table! Nothing is very far from anywhere on Arran and Pirnhill proved to be a good base. Sue was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - Ingrid was really responsive and helpful in the lead up to our visit and the cottage exceeded our expectations. Photos accurately picture the accommodation and it was a really lovely space - spotlessly clean, furnished to a high standard, plenty of utensils in kitchen, luxury soaps in showers, and comfy beds. The kids enjoyed the mezzanine space for watching TV and absolutely loved the grounds - especially the chickens (which they gave their own names to and visited daily!), goats and the swing. The owners were also very friendly and welcoming when we bumped into them. It was conveniently placed for visiting family nearby in Glasgow and we also took a daytrip to Loch lomand which was a little over an hour away. Would definitely be happy to return!

Beautiful sage and friendly place to stay- thoughtfully finished and a gloriously good sleep! Thank you so much ! Would definitely stay again

Couldn't have been happier with the cottage or the location. The cottage was clean, well presented and had everything we needed. The beds and pillows were comfortable including the sofa bed. The kitchen was well stocked. Great to be able to log into Amazon and Disney on the TV and watch like at home. Drymen was only 20 minute walk down a quiet road with plenty of amenities. Pretty too. Just a bit further to Balmaha, Loch Lomond and Finnich Glen.

My parents stayed here for a week and we joined them for the weekend. The surroundings are beautiful and the cottage was comfy and a great place to explore from. Have recommended it to friends already!

This is a beautiful little cottage with everything you need at hand. The house is well equipped, with comfy beds, a cosy fire, beautiful garden bursting with flowers and even a treehouse and a swing. There’s hot water in the shower and I had time for my first bath in months. There are generous chickens and sweet Highland Cows, a games room for a rainy half hour before tea and once you’ve emerged from the 2 mile, privacy ensuring, private road/drive, so much to do. Aberfoyle is charming and full of the things you need (as well as some you just want) and then glorious walks, castles, lochs, views and general good times unfold in front of you. Highly recommended. (Oh - I forgot Amy - Amy’s communication is unfailing prompt and helpful. Thanks Amy.)

Adrian could not have made our stay at his cottage any better. He was communicative and helpful. His lovely cottage was comfortable and provided us with the perfect base to explore the area as well as relax Thank you

Idyllic place in a beautiful location - short walk to the beach and the rat race event. Was super clean, shower is great, bed comfy and perfect size for myself. I lucked out in a sunny week and the lil terrace table and chair got sunlight through the day. Lorna was super responsive and quick and efficient. Great stay in a beatific island - recommend Goat Fell and Massif hikes - thanks

Thankyou so much for an absolutely perfect stay from start to finish. Great communication and excellent service all round, stayed 4 nights and only managed to explore a fraction of the glorious scenery. Will definitely be back, absolutely wonderful, thankyou so much. 10/10, amazing, a huge thanks from Tom, Joanne (& Penny the dog) from St Helens, England. Amazing 🤩

This cottage is fantastic. Everything here has been thought of. If you were inclined you could literally prepare any main meal here. The location was perfect for us looking for a simple, peaceful base to explore Bute from. The host has placed in the cottage. plentiful maps, walks and references for things to do on the Island. Ettrick bay is a tranquil retreat with amazing scenery in every direction. It has good walks locally and an hourly bus back into Rothesay. If you wish you can walk the old Tram path back to Port Banantyne (about 90 mins). I have to say we were extremely fortunate with the weather (17-21 March) and it was wonderful at the end of the day to sit on the patio with a glass of wine staring out to sea and the Island of Arran. Simply Stunning.

Beccy and Dave were wonderful hosts. The cottage was perfect and every detail was thought of. We loved staying here and would recommend it to all.

We have just had a great stay at Kevin’s place, an ideal place for a group to enjoy a weekend on Arran. Secluded cottage a short walk up the hill from Lamblash, Marbeth was lovely when she greated us and nothing was to much trouble. Thanks

We had a great weekend at Fiona’s cottage despite the rainy weather. The cottage is as described and would be absolutely delightful to sit in the beautiful garden enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The cottage is very private and well looked after. We loved lighting up the log fire in the evenings sipping a glass (or 2) of wine and watching the rain fall, absolutely magical. Fiona is a very responsive and helpful host, when we arrived at the cottage we realised there was no hot water, we contacted Fiona and whithin an hour (or less!) we had a technician come to us who solved the problem in a matter of minutes, we were very impressed by Fiona’s prompt action. We managed to bike down to Old Castle Lachlan and Kilmorie Chapel when the rain let up a bit, lovely scenery and an easy ride on our e-bikes. We dined at The Creggan’s Inn and spotted a red squirrel, 2 does and a fawn on the road down to/from The Oystercatcher, absolutely amazing! Thank you for having us Fiona, we will be back!

The best experience we ever had when booking an AirBnB. Caroline and Stephen were such fantastic hosts, the cottage was so cozy and comfortable, Caroline had thought of everything to make our stay perfect. When we arrived, she offered us breakfast hamper full of delicious things, fresh bread, croissants, pains au chocolates, fresh berries etc. That was the perfect fit for a cottage breakfast. Definitely a place to recommend and to come back! Thank you so much - it was great to stay here!

We loved the place. Comfortable, clean, close to town. Gill was a wonderful host!

A beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings with great views overlooking the canal. The cottage itself had everything you need and was very comfortable. If we are in the area again would definitely look to stay here again and would certainly recommend it.
