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.
