We had a fantastic stay at Sea View Villa. The house is a great size (there was 11 of us) plenty of fun socialising in all the areas. The Games/leisure room was great hit with kids and the adults, swimming, sauna, playing pool and table tennis! The cleanliness was rated a bit lower as the kitchen was not clean for our arrival, although it was very well equipped. The beds were all very clean comfortable and plenty of fluffy blankets to snuggle up for movie night. We all had access to clean robes, slippers and there was plenty of towels for everyone. We would definitely return for another stay. Thank you!

We had a fantastic break with our extended family at this beautiful house. It is so well equipped and offers something for everyone from table tennis and the large hot tub to board games and pool! We were a group of 9 adults and I baby and we had lots of space to enjoy our break. The owner Carol was so accommodating. The island of Bute is beautiful with lovely eateries and the local people are so friendly and welcoming. We will be back!
