Beachfront vacation rentals in Bute

This was the most incredibly beautiful property in a stunning location. Pier Cottage is so private and peaceful with views over Loch Striven where you can sit and relax whilst watching the array of wildlife around you or take the kayak out on the loch. The cottage was extremely comfortable and well appointment with everything you would need for you stay. If you are looking for somewhere to unplug from the world and completely relax - this is the ideal place.

Our fifth visit to Hamilsmay. The children are now 15 and 12 and still beg to come back. It’s a super relaxing week that we all look forward to - we read, did jigsaws, played cards, walked miles, and spent a great deal of time starring out the window at the red squirrels, seals, birds right there. It’s just the perfect spot - so special to all of us. Eileen hosted us this time. We all love her - she knows everything about the area and we felt looked after. We’ll be back! Thank you!

Lovely stay at Kelmscott! Close to gorgeous woodland walks and beaches. A perfect getaway trip from busy city life. Great hosts and good communication. Highly recommend!

We had a great stay. The flat is beautiful inside and out. Ari and Annika were super responsive to questions and kept us up to date with check in times, and managed to get us in a bit earlier. Lamlash is the perfect location to explore the island, and our dog loved having such close access to the beach! We would definitely recommend, the flat was the perfect base for our wee Arran holiday.

We had a wonderful few days here in this characterful property, loved the uniqueness of it. The showers are amazing, really powerful. Such a peaceful place and fantastic to see the red squirrels feeding on some nuts and seeds we left out.

Lovely apartment within walking distance of Dunoon town centre. Kitchen was exceptionally well equipped and even had a slow cooker and air fryer if you wanted to cook ( we didn’t). Always cosy

Our stay at the Cottage was everything we imagined it would be . Beautiful views of the Loch from the window and so peacful and tranquil. The log Burner was ideal for cosy nights in and the local shop was very convenient . Will be back again . Sarah

Had a brilliant time in Pod 2. Location was magic with lovely views of Arran and of the beach. The Pod has everything you would need for a couple of days off grid. Well equipped with a really good shower. We took a small camping BBQ which made things even better which went well with the fire pit. The log burner inside the pod gets everything nice and toastie in no time at all. The cows outside your door in the morning are a welcome sight as are the seals on the nearby rocks. Just take a travel phone charger just in case and you’re sorted. Lisa the host was friendly and happy to help. Can’t wait to go back.

Lovely cottage with stunning views of Lamlash Bay and Holy Isle. Found the kitchen light, clean and well equipped, could never get fed up of dinning at the table with that view. The cottage has a two bedrooms, double bed and two singles, very comfortable, ideal for both family and friends. We found the cottage warm and cosy for the two of us and very conveniently situated near the bus stop. Fiona’s instruction was clear and concise. The Co-op is a 5/10 minute walk away and open till 20:00 if you arrive late in the day and need supplies for the morning, no welcome pack provided.

"Had a fantastic stay! The property was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The check-in process was seamless. The location was perfect—close to everything yet quiet and relaxing. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!"

What a great place to stay; the view is stunning, so relaxing. I requested to stay longer but someone else beat me to it unfortunately; I should imagine this property is very popular. Richard was a fantastic host and couldn't do more to be helpful. Many thanks.

This cottage is fantastic. Everything here has been thought of. If you were inclined you could literally prepare any main meal here. The location was perfect for us looking for a simple, peaceful base to explore Bute from. The host has placed in the cottage. plentiful maps, walks and references for things to do on the Island. Ettrick bay is a tranquil retreat with amazing scenery in every direction. It has good walks locally and an hourly bus back into Rothesay. If you wish you can walk the old Tram path back to Port Banantyne (about 90 mins). I have to say we were extremely fortunate with the weather (17-21 March) and it was wonderful at the end of the day to sit on the patio with a glass of wine staring out to sea and the Island of Arran. Simply Stunning.

We had a wonderful time in Jill's accommodation! We immediately felt at home and Jill and Simon are very friendly and warm people. The apartment is also very comfortably furnished. We would love to come back.

Beautiful quiet setting and base to explore the area. We loved exploring by kayak and being greeted by seals every morning. Simon’s place was super comfortable, clean and well equipped. We’d love to return.

A spacious period family home, tastefully furnished and very well equipped. The highlight is the conservatory, giving a panoramic view of Lamlash Bay. We enjoyed sitting in comfortable surroundings watching seals on the shore. Only 15 minutes stroll to the peer and local amenities, including the Co-Op. And just 10 minutes drive from the ferry terminal while also located in a quiet spot. We love Arran and highly recommended this property!

Jason and Mairi's accommodation is a gem! Beautifully situated within a gorgeous walled garden with the sea on your front doorstep. The accommodation is immaculate and wonderfully warm. Fairlie is a lovely village with Largs nearby and walkable along the coast. We only wish we had booked for longer. We would 100% stay again and highly recommend to others. Jason and Mairi are fabulous hosts.

Absolutely fantastic property. Large and well proportioned rooms. Everything you could wish for. Great views. Spacious accommodation. Lots of added extras. Very friendly and proactive hosts. Wouldn't hesitate to book here again.

Had a fantastic weekend at Joshua’s property. The house was comfortable and the downstairs space was great for entertainment with our large group. The kitchen was well equipped. Joshua was a fantastic host and his communication was excellent.

We had our mums 80th with her family and the place was so well equipped with everything you need the rooms and space was fabulous and very well presented with its own individual character,the area brought back so many memories for my mum we can not thank and praise Alan and the place enough Thank you

Beautiful stay!! We had a wonderful and memorable evening.

What a wonderful place to stay, right on the beach and with lots of room for friends / family. Very well furnished and high quality. A perfect location either for the golf or just for a few days enjoying Troon. Thanks, June!

We had a lovely stay at this amazing house in a beautiful location. The house is huge. with lots of rooms to do different things. The hosts were happy to respond to the odd queries we had along the way, and I would be confident had anything gone really wrong they would have fixed it cheerfully. If we ever had a similar special occasion to treat ourselves in the future we would definitely consider staying again.

Stayed here for the weekend with all our family to celebrate a graduation and the place was just perfect. The hot tub was amazing, a bbq was provided. The rooms were so clean and each had a bathroom which was great for privacy. The little details that Justin and Rae added made the stay so special - there was little boxes in each room with water and snacks, the bathrooms stocked with shampoos etc, and they even supplied us toys for the kids. To top it all off they even decorated the house for my partners graduation with balloons and banners! Would 100% recommend this stay for any family gathering - thanks Justin and Rae!
