    This wasn't just a holiday let. it's a home that someone shares with you. It's not just the small touches like the decor or facilities, but it's things like fresh milk and teacakes that welcome you.

The Old Fisherman's Cottage was built in the 1700's and has been renovated to a very high standard whilst maintaining its traditional character. The addition of a garden room to the rear adds a calm and relaxing space to chill out, listen to music, read or just snooze! The cottage has a beautiful private sunken garden where you can enjoy dining al fresco or just relaxing round the fire pit. Located centrally within a few minutes walk of the town centre, ferry terminal and harbour, the cottage is a perfect base to relax and enjoy the beautiful island of Bute.
Julie and Malcolm look forward to welcoming you to our newly refurbished holiday cottage. We live in the adjoining cottage and are always around to answer any questions and offer advice on things to do and see if required.
Rothesay has a great Museum, Discovery Centre, Historic castle, many excellent cafes restaurants and pubs, all within a few minutes walking distance. Further afield is the fabulous Mount Stuart House & Gardens, Ardencraig Gardens and a Victorian Fernery ....... all well worth a visit. Bute has many planned walking routes for all abilities and fitness levels, including the famous West Island Way. The island is a great place to cycle both on and off road and we can offer secure storage if you decide to bring your bikes. There are 3 fantastic golf courses each with stunning views and welcome non members. Loch Fad Fisheries offer Trout & Pike angling with boats for hire in an amazing setting with the Arran hills as a backdrop.
