Cottage vacation 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!).

Lakeside Cottage is beautiful, peaceful, steeped in history & easy to access once you know where it is, we drove past it 3 times lol. We were greeted with gorgeous fresh flowers in each room & a very tasty bottle of prosecco. Most Definitely will be going back at some point in the near future & can't recommend it enough as a quiet getaway - listening to the river Ayr was blissful!!

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!

Wonderful time in a beautiful home. Furnished to a very high standard. Fab linen and towels and loads of everything. Can’t wait to go back!

We absolutely loved our stay here, the hot tub made it even better. Place was immaculately clean, no faults what so ever. Basic kitchen equipment which is all you need for a few days away. Plenty of restaurants, take aways and shop within the area if you’re driving so was able to have the option there if we fancied. Access was easy and it was easy to find, we both liked how it wasn’t on a public road etc and it was so peaceful at night. We were lucky to be able to see a sunset on our first night and that was fantastic, being able to be in the hot tub and have those views was just unreal. Even on our second night the weather wasn’t the best we still loved every minute of it. We cannot recommend this enough, we will definitely be back! Thank you both again

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.

Wonderful property and location, perfect for our planned hike from Loch Earn. And the hot tub was perfect for aching legs after! A lot of care and thought clearly gone into the property which made it very cosy and comfortable from the word go. Spacious grounds and garden activities also a bonus. Would highly recommend.

Stayed at Leanne’s place to attend a wedding. The cottage is lovely, warm, clean and comfortable. Can totally recommend and would happily return. There were 4 of us in the 3 bedrooms but would easily sleep 6. Beautiful surroundings and fabulous to see all the farm animals! Leanne was a great host, responding quickly to all questions and left out some biscuits and eggs for us to use. We all enjoyed our weekend.

Fabulous, modern cottage with thoughtful little bits provided, like milk, dog treats, etc. Very quiet location with easy access to the island’s amenities. Comfy bed & fantastic shower. Would definitely recommend to book here.

We had a fantastic stay in the cottage, it was a lovely cosy space, with everything we could need. Particularly appreciated the cot and highchair, and the washing/drying facilities for soggy walking clothes! Lorna was super friendly and helpful and we look forward to staying again on Arran!

We had a wonderful stay at the Wee Bothy! Our flight was delayed for a whole day but the communication with Adrienne was very good and she even offered us an extra night which was very gracious. The cottage was very charming and very well equipped and the bed was comfortable with luxurious bedding and feather pillows. It was a nice touch to have bird feeders in front of the living room window so that we were able to watch the birds from the sofa. The estate and the gardens were vast and beautiful and we even bumped into Michael who gave us a little tour of the grounds on his cart. Do watch out for the pheasants when arriving by car as they do wander on the roads.

Bluebell cottage was a peaceful, cosy, picturesque, warmimg home for us for 3 days. It has all the things needed for an amazing stay nicely placed within this functioning cosy charming cottage. Christy was also an attentive host, getting in some supplies before we arrived and messageing all the answers before we had even asked the questions. This is clearly a host who knows what they are doing in a property that works well.

We stayed at the cottage for just under a week, an absolutely beautiful place to be staying with a well-furnished cottage to ourselves! We had all we needed for our stay and loved having the garden to enjoy the good weather while it lasted! Carolyn and her family were all very friendly and helpful with our questions and very responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed how peaceful and tranquil our stay was, while only being a short drive to main points of interest. I'd give more stars than 5 if I could!

Really great place to stay. Loved the location and the views. Really comfortable stay. Really thoughtful and friendly hosts.

The location and property exceeded our expectations. It has everything you need with a little nostalgia on the side. The views are fantastic from anywhere on the island, with lots of walks and swim spots. The islanders were very welcoming, and provided helpful info re best swim locations. We swam once or twice every day, access is with care via a 'slate slide'. There is a lovely pub/cafe, The Puffer, opposite the cottage, but worth booking as it gets very busy, open Thursday to Sunday. Locally produced, reasonably priced art, jewellery and soaps are available. The island is a peaceful haven.

Exactly as described, this accommodation is tucked away from the road yet a very walkable distance from the centre of Balmaha village. It is ideally placed for walking on the West Highland Way or for tackling either Ben Lomond or the much less challenging Conic Hill. The cottage is comfortable and well-equipped, with a back garden for sitting out (weather and midges permitting). Fiona is a very friendly and helpful host.

A beautiful stay with friends - no complaints.

Very lovely little cottage right by Loch Fyne. Perfect for 2 adults and 2 kids (or 4 adults) and a dog. There’s even a little garden fenced off for dogs. Fire place would be lovely when it gets cold. Perfect for what we needed for 2 nights

We loved Fiona's stylish, warm, well equipped. We didn't have great weather but it didn't matter because it was such a nice place to hangout. Fiona was a really good host, warning us about possible traffic problems on the way and suggesting wet weather things to do. It's a beautiful area and we'd like to go back one day.

We had a wonderful stay the nights before and after a wedding we were attending at the Lochside Hotel! 10/10 recommend! It was spotless, amazing local recommendations and lovely touches (chocolates on the pillows etc) and Hugh was super friendly and accommodating when we got stuck in rush our traffic and ended up arriving later than planned to check in. Thank you Angela and Hugh!

Great stay in a lovely house, with a very nice host who communicated clearly throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful time at Alison’s place and Alison was so lovely and informative, letting us know all the good walks and things to do nearby! We can’t wait to come back to this peaceful gem in the trossachs and loved how close Nether Glenny is to Aberfoyle if we did need anything! Fantastic stay and host, can’t recommend enough! :)

Great little cottage just a short drive away from the city. Perfect size for 2 people and a doggo. Lovely surrounding area and a wonderful host, thank you!!
