Where it is

The apartment is on Melbourne Place in Rothesay, just back from the seafront and a short walk from the Wemyss Bay ferry pier. Supermarkets, cafés, pubs, the Winter Gardens and Rothesay Castle are all close by.

This is one of the most convenient spots for a car-free island break. Arrive on foot from the ferry, settle in, and explore the town and surrounding area by bus, bike or on foot.

What to expect

Expect a modern, self-contained apartment with its own kitchen and living space. Self-catering works well for families, longer stays, or anyone who prefers to cook some meals and come and go without set breakfast times.

It is a good middle ground between a hotel and a cottage: the convenience of Rothesay on the doorstep, with the independence of your own space. Book ahead for summer and event weekends.

Bedrooms and bathroom

Two calm double bedrooms are finished in soft white and driftwood tones, with panelled walls, rope lamps and views out to the trees and gardens behind the building.

A third room has bunk beds, making the apartment a comfortable fit for a family. The shower room off the hall has a walk-in rainfall shower behind a black-framed screen.

Room for a family

The second double sits under a driftwood heart with lamps either side, and the bunk room is a bright, practical space for children — hooks by the door, a window onto the garden and storage under the beds.
