As the most easily accessible of all the Scottish Islands, a vacation on the Isle of Bute will not disappoint. The island has been named as one of National Geographic’s 'Top10' global adventure trips.
The West Island Way Walk starts in a wee village close by and is just one of the breathtaking walks available on the island.
There are three golf courses on the island, cycle tracks, horse riding, sailing, kayaking, swimming pools, a cinema and an abundance of wildlife to see.
A popular destination for fishing, the inland lochs are popular with anglers for coarse and game fishing. Loch Fad offers anglers an opportunity to fish for rainbow trout and is only 3 mile from the house, for anyone with an interest in sea angling you’ll be spoilt for choice.
Within walking distance is Mount Stuart House, a Gothic Revival country house and the ancestral home of the Marquesses of Bute. It was designed by Sir Robert Rowand Anderson for the 3rd Marquess of Bute in the late 1870’s after a fire destroyed the earlier house by Alexander McGill in 1877. Open to the public with its beautiful gardens to explore, the house has become a popular location for wealthy celebrity weddings including Stella McCartney and JB Gill from the band JLS.

Due to the Covid pandemic, our vacation to this delightful spot has been delayed but the owners have been wonderful to work with and so helpful in rescheduling our visit for next year. The manor house looks beautiful and we can hardly wait to meet the owners when we finally fulfill our travel plans in 2022.

We stayed at Chandler's and found it to be large, comfortable and ideally situated. We were in a party of 17 and the house never once felt small.
The deck area was a nice place to sit and relax in the evening. It has a fantastic view out over the sea and to the peninsula.
The house itself is very close to Mount Stuart which is definitely worth a visit. It's also a short walk or bus journey from the town which is really handy. Buses are pretty regular if you don't have a car with you. We went to a place called Harry Haw's for dinner and the service and food were excellent.
The hosts at Chandler's were very helpful and made it easy for us to enjoy our stay.
Would definitely stay again.

Terrace was not safe for small children and hadn't realised there was no garden( my fault). However the house worked well for us. A larger fridge would be good for large groups.
