Great little break
The property had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the whole house was spotless. It was just “home from home” and our Grandson loved it.

What a Delightful Surprise
Angela gave us all the information we could possibly think to ask for before we arrived, and there was still more information in books and brochures around the flat. Best of all was what we came to refer to as "the bible," which had the tips that most people just never think to mention - like exactly what the various washer cycles do and which wall switches and timers control what. To be honest, I was more than a little suspicious that in the description, there wasn't a picture of the double bedroom. So I was prepared for some sort of surprise. Nope. It was spacious and comfortable and had a killer view of Rothesay Bay. Since the flat overlooks a major street to the Bay, I had also been concerned about traffic noise. However, for all we could tell, everyone on the island must use electric vehicles at night. There was no noticeable road noise and, better yet, the 2:00 a.m. troubadors that seem to inhabit every town of any size must not like the acoustics in that area. Ample parking is right behind the building, but there is also ample free on-street parking right in front. Being naturally lazy, I went with the on-street parking, because it was a shorter walk to carry luggage in from the car. And I can't say enough about Angela, who practically hovered over us to make sure that we found the place OK, got in without any issues, and got cozied in without any confusion. She even followed up afterward to ensure our stay was perfect - a true hostess. We'll be back.

A beautiful well presented and spacious apartment. We could have taken nothing with us and still needed for nothing as the host had thought about everything. We cannot say enough about this place and how well informed we were kept. We will definitely be back here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a home from home during their break.

Amazing central sea front location
The owner of the apartment was excellent in giving us all the information we needed both before & during our stay. The apartment is on the second floor, has magnificent sea views, is spotlessly clean, central location & contains everything you could possibly need. Angela (owner) went above & beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay on the lovely Island of Bute.

19 Argyle Street Rothesay Isle of Bute
Flat located in a sea front location, with splendid views and good safe parking at the back of the property. We managed to park right outside, but this is not always possible during busy holiday periods. The flat was spotless and well equipped with everything that one may need. The only drawback is that it is located on the second floor of a 3 storey block, with commercial premises below. We hadn't realised this, which caused some climbing problems for my wife and also for my right knee. As we were not going up and down many times a day, it didn't however create too many problems. Would we recommend staying here, absolutely, especially as random contact with the owner was not a problem.
