The Isle of Bute is a popular seaside destination for those wishing to get away from it all and enjoy a relaxing break ‘doon the watter’. Although the island is less than two hours from Glasgow and three from Edinburgh it feels like a different world. The friendlieness of the locals and the general pace of life is ideal for those looking to relax. However, there are also plenty of shops, pubs, restaurants, cafes, sport and sailing clubs and places of interest to keep everyone, regardless of age, amused.

Directions
4 Ettrickdale Road is perfectly positioned as it is easily accessible from both ferry ports on the island. Three miles from the main port, Rothesay (to Wemyss Bay), and five miles from the smaller Rhubodach (to Colintraive) ferry. On exiting the pier at Rothesay turn right and follow the promenade to Port Bannatyne; pass the marina and sweep round the bay to the small cluster of houses. Turn up the road and turn left. The property is the house at the back right corner of the cul-de-sac. From Rhubodach turn left and follow the country road until you reach the property.
