Situation
Prospect House enjoys a pretty coastal situation on fine level gardens on the Island of Bute about 1 mile from Rothesay which is the port and main town of the island.

The house is at the junction of the Ardbeg & High Roads both of which lead in a north westerly direction to Port Bannatyne and the A844 which is the main road around the island. From its vantage point there are uninterrupted views across Rothesay Bay where there is always the coming and going of the Caledonian Macbrayne Ferry service as well as the movement of pleasure boats and sailing yachts as they venture through the world famous Kyles of Bute.

Rothesay, which is 1 miles to the south, has thriving shopping, leisure and educational facilities including a larger sized Co-op. Caledonian MacBrayne operates a frequent ferry service to Wemyss Bay, which has direct rail links to Glasgow. A second ferry service runs between Rhubodach on the north of Bute to Colintraive giving access to Argyll and the West Highlands.

The two nearest airports are Glasgow and Prestwick, which are approximately 40 and 50 minutes' drive respectively from Wemyss Bay.

Leisure
Rothesay has an 18 hole golf course, from most of which there are outstanding views of the Firth of Clyde and Arran. Smaller courses are at Port Bannatyne and Kingarth. Bute is an area of significant natural beauty and mild climate, with many opportunities for coastal and hill walking and mountain biking. Fresh water and sea fishing are available, and there are shooting and stalking opportunities. The island has its own grass airstrip for light aircraft and microlights.

Sailing
The area is notable for its sailing on the famous Kyles of Bute, which is a National Scenic Area. Tighnabruaich and Colintraive to the north, and the Crinan Canal and Tarbert to the West, are centres of lively sailing activity throughout the season. There are marinas, chandlery services and sheltered moorings in Rothesay and Port Bannatyne.

Travel Directions
From Glasgow, travel west on the M8 to Greenock, and then continue on the A78 to Wemyss Bay. Take the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry to Rothesay (35 minutes). On arrival at Rothesay, turn right and follow the A844 along the coast for 1 mile, Prospect House and The Cottage are located at the junction of Ardbeg Road and The High Road.
