We are from the Island of Bute , Iona my daughter & I enjoy meeting new people who often end up as friends.
Why they chose this property
The Island of Bute is a step back in time with its slow pace of life and where the locals look out for one another . We have sever beautiful sandy beaches and a real castle that actually has a moat. Lots of history to explore.
What makes this property unique
This is a Motor Cruiser…. Gives you the boating experience without having the stress of actually getting out on the sea. This is a very special cosy place to stay on the water with the tide coming in and out.
