Kennels - sleeps 4

A building bursting with character, the Kennels is a delightful property located in the grounds of Mount Stuart, backing into open fields, with 300 acres of landscaped gardens and grounds on your doorstep. Less than five minutes walk to Mount Stuart House, the Kennels has been sympathetically converted and oozes charm.

The interior is characterised by boldly modern décor, complete with a spacious living area which affords a great deal of natural light from several windows and west-facing patio doors – perfect for watching the sunset. A double sided wood burning stove situated in this space also provides a charming focal point.

The Kennels has two generously sized double bedrooms (one of which is en-suite), providing more than comfortable accommodation for a total of four guests.  The property provides immaculate and abundant living space for family holidays, corporate weekends, wedding parties and relaxing breaks. If you are hosting an event at Mount Stuart, the Kennels can be used to conveniently accommodate your guests.

Kennels is ideally situated for some of the best walking and cycling routes on the island.

Kennels is available for weekly lets all year round. Short breaks are also available.

Location

Our properties are located on Bute, the island we call home. Bute's principal town Rothesay became very popular as a tourist destination in the Victorian era when many Glaswegians would go ‘doon the watter’ (down the River Clyde) and across on the ferry to Bute.

Ferry - Calmac Ferries operate two routes to Bute: Wemyss Bay- Rothesay (crossing time 35 minutes) and Colintraive-Rhubodach (crossing time 5 minutes). Wemyss Bay-Rothesay is the main route to the island and tickets can be booked online in advance via Calmac's website. If you are arriving by car and prefer a scenic drive then we recommend the Colintraive-Rhubodach crossing.

Visit the castle ruins in the centre of town, enjoy the stunning scenery with coastal walks or on one of the cycle routes around the island and visit historic Mount Stuart House as well as its superb gardens. Why not try one of the island’s three golf courses or chill out at Scalpsie Bay and watch the seals, with stunning views across to Arran?
