Stunning Location
Absolutely stunning location, spotlessly clean, well equipped, Photo's on website don't do it justice, only negative we could even consider is the Decking area needs a bit of TLC, Would definitely recommend and will most definitely be staying again. Thank you.

Bute View
Super place, in a fantastic location with stunning views from the property. Bute View is very comfortable, well equipped, and has great outside space with access to the water. The space under the raised deck was particularly useful to store kayak and bikes. Only suggestion for improvement would be to provide a cafetière or similar for coffee. Would return without hesitation.

Summer Holidays Week 1 in Kames
We spent the first week of the 2023 school summer holidays at Bute View in Kames. Our group included 2 adults and 2 kids (primary school age). On arrival the property was easy to gain access to and was very clean and tidy inside. The beds were well presented with plenty of pillows and cushions. All electrical appliances required were also provided (including a modern washer dryer and a small freezer). Laundry tabs for the washing machine and dishwasher tablets were also provided, which was a nice touch. The owners clearly take a pride in their property. The view across to Bute from the living room and master bedroom windows was also amazing. Outside the private garden area was very nice with well kept grass and plants. The private beach was a very nice bonus and our two boys really enjoyed spending time there digging and messing around like young boys do. We visited the Kames Hotel for dinner one evening which was very good. The Kames Village Store is only a short walk away and is well stocked with the usual essentials…the staff are also very friendly and helpful. We were booked to stay for 6 nights and the first 4 nights were great, very peaceful and quiet. Unfortunately on day 5 the upstairs neighbours appeared and were very loud. We could hear their TV and chatter clearly, their living room seemed to be directly above the master bedroom. This went on until after midnight. We decided to only stay for 5 nights as the noise from upstairs was off putting, which was a shame as the previous days and nights had been great. Overall we would recommend the property but if you need dead quiet to sleep or you have young kids you might be disturbed by the upstairs neighbours if they are in.

Lovely
We had a lovely stay here. Nicely furnished and very clean. Great being able to look out at the comings and goings of the yachts. Not far from the local shop. Good amenities.
