The decor and furnishings are gorgeous, and there are lovely views from every room. The reason I haven't given it five stars is due to the problems when I arrived, but Campbell got everything sorted the next day, gave frequent updates and was exceptionally polite and friendly throughout. We had a very enjoyable stay

This was my second visit to the flat. I was again impressed by the fresh, clean atmosphere. The kitchen had everything necessary for a short or long stay. The bedrooms were airy and brightly decorated with superbly comfortable beds.My favourite sitting position was close to the lounge window so that I could easily check on the ferries! All kept time to the minute.The beaches were clean and quiet so perfect for walking. The Cafe at Ettrick Bay had been refurbished and the menu was excellent.Campbell, the host, was in touch with me shortly after my arrival to check if I had settled in and he told me of upcoming events. He was easy to talk to and as an elderly person I felt reassured with his friendly manner. Wouldn't hesitate to return.MR

We had a great stay in this flat. The location is great and the view from the living room was amazing (Would be happy to watch the ferries come and go drinking tea for ages!). It's a great base to explore Bute. Kitchen is well stocked and host was very responsive. We were short on some disposibles for our stay (dish cloths and toilet paper) and although clean enough for us, may not have been for others.

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.
