Description
This spacious house occupies twelve bedrooms in a delightful position in the coastal town of Rothesay, on the beautiful Isle of Bute.
Set over three floors with a main house and annex, Argyle House is a wonderful base for families and friends to come together for a special occasion or family catch-up, while exploring along the coast of the Firth of Clyde.
Beginning in the main house, tasty feasts can be prepared in the kitchen, equipped with several appliances including a large Range cooker, whilst the adjacent living/dining room provides ample seating so everyone can gather during mealtimes.
As you look to unwind, venture to the first-floor lounge where you can slump on the sofa and take in those fabulous views across the water towards the ferry from Glasgow․ Also, on this level are two inviting king size bedded rooms and a single bedroom, while the second floor hosts a family room with a double and single bed, one double bedroom and a twin bedroom, providing plenty of sleeping options.
In the main house each bedroom includes a TV and en-suite showers, so there will be no queues in the morning.
Wander back downstairs through to the utility room, fitted with two washing machines and a tumble dryer for your laundry essentials, before accessing the annex.
Straight into the sitting room, here you can enjoy a catch up on your favourite TV shows or access the rear garden, perfect for enjoying a drink on the patio furniture or why not take a dip in the luxurious hot tub?
Within the annex there are five bedrooms; the ground-floor occupies a double and a single bedroom serviced by a bathroom, whilst upstairs offers one super king size bedroom with en-suite shower room, one double bedroom and and a charming single bedroom.
When you’re ready to explore, the captivating town of Rothesay offers plenty of amenities from convenience stores and independent shops to pubs, bars, and restaurants, not to mention the impressive castle ruins and Mount Stuart House, which is a very popular attraction.
To the north of Rothesay, through the small community of Porth Bannatyne, lies Ettrick Bay, Bute’s most accessible beach, which is a haven for able swimmers․ Bute is perfect for cycling and the circuit of the island on our quiet roads is about twenty-one miles with none of the hills being too taxing․ There are plenty of lovely beaches for a seaside stroll.
For the more ambitious we have the West Island Way, a marked trail that runs the length of the island.
There is sea fishing off the piers if you want to try for mackerel and inland there are lochs to catch rainbow trout and pike․ The Firth of Clyde is a sailing paradise and golf enthusiasts are well catered for in the Isle of Bute․ This quaint island even has its own gin distillery, definitely worth a visit!
Exploring the rest of Scotland could not be easier; simply catch a ferry across to Glasgow and make the most of the fabulous attractions and amenities on offer.
For a unique stay in one the largest properties on the Isle of Bute, look no further than Argyle House.

What guests are saying
Was good for our party of 17 but was a bit tired and lacked attention to detail, we had to buy batteries for remotes and central heating and generally tired decor outside space was good in the good weather.
Argyle House was perfect for our family get together.
It was lovely and plenty of room for us all, 10 adults, 4 children and one baby. The rooms were great and well laid out. The hot tub was a great way to chill and everyone enjoyed the both lounges. The hosts were super helpful if we had any queries. The whole family enjoyed the house and would definitely come back. Rothesay is a lovely wee town and Bute is very picturesque, with lots to see.
Argyle house is an amazing setting for large group gatherings.
Our gathering was to celebrate my 60th birthday with friends and family. We had a mixed age group ranging 15 to 66 and the different rooms available worked perfectly. There was a living room with large TV & game console which worked perfectly for our young adults & a beautiful sitting room on the 1st floor with amazing views for the "oldies". The large dining room perfect for our evening get togethers and the kitchen well equipped. The 3 fridges also aided catering for a large number. The hot tub was also a popular addition. Totally recommend Argyle House for your larger get togethers. Perfectly located for the ferry and town centre.
