Argyll and Bute holiday cottages

Visit Islay, 'the whisky isle' or Tobermory on the isle of Mull, or take time out in the picturesque seaside town of Oban on a great escape in Argyll & Bute. Take a ferry across the beautiful Mull of Kintyre to the Hebridean island of Islay, home to the Lagavullin and Laphroaig distilleries, as well as the RSPB reserve, where white and barnacle geese migrate each year. Self-catering is a great choice if you want the freedom to explore. Rothesay on the spectacular Isle of Bute has some excellent options, cycling is popular with holidaymakers and it's an inspired choice on this beautiful island. Take in magnificent Rothesay Castle, a stunning 13th century castle, unusually built in a circular form, and a favourite of the Stewart kings.

Bute lies right at the mouth of the Firth of Clyde where you can see the world's last sea-faring paddle steamer, the PS Waverley as it calls at Bute. The unspoiled Cowal peninsula is fantastic for bird watching and wildlife spotting. Dunoon's famous Highland Games are of special interest to locals and visitors alike. A huge draw, see tossing the caber and shot putting. While you admire great highland cattle and much more. Argyll & Bute is a diverse and wonderful area, with stunning coastal scenery and unusual attractions, such as Benmore Botanic Garden where you can wander through the avenue of giant redwoods. Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park is a wonderful vista of lochs, mountains and forest, a must on any holiday in the region. The Trossachs attract hundreds of visitors each year and the heather clad hills and misty glens will fill you with awe.
