Bellevue Bute, luxury 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom sea view flat in Rothesay | Apartment in Rothesay

A luxury top floor seafront apartment, minutes from the centre of Rothesay, with panoramic sea views. Bellevue Bute is located within an 1899 red sandstone tenement and was renovated to a high standard in 2022 to restore the original Victorian features. The apartment sleeps 4 (one double bedroom with ensuite, and one single bedroom with additional fold out single bed for a child). The triple aspect lounge window gives unobstructed views across Rothesay Bay, Loch Striven and the Firth of Clyde.
Please note that the second bedroom will sleep 1 adult and 1 child (or 2 children) in a single bed, and a folding pull out single bed. This fold out bed is only suitable for children under 12. Bedding is supplied for the fold out bed upon request only.
The apartment is light and spacious throughout and is decorated in period colours to reflect the Victorian heritage. Bellevue Bute is owned by Ronald, who grew up on the Isle of Bute and is decorated with his own mixed media art, giving a unique artistic vibe to the flat.
The lounge enjoys a panoramic sea view from its triple aspect window - even on a rainy day there is still plenty to watch as the ferries and other boats sail by. You may even see dolphins swimming in the bay.
The apartment is in an ideal location, being approximately 500 m from the centre of Rothesay and the main ferry terminal. Far enough away to be peaceful and quiet, but close enough to mean that all local amenities are within an easy 5 to 10 minute walk along the seafront promenade. There is a local artisan bakery and cafe 5 minutes walk away, ideal for breakfast pastries and coffee. Within Rothesay itself you will find a range of pubs, cafes and restaurants including a gin garden at the local distillery, all within easy walking distance. There is a strong live music scene in Rothesay with many pubs hosting live musicians and bands regularly., although there will always be a quiet alternative if you prefer. There are also a large number of takeaways, many of whom will deliver to Bellevue Bute.
The lounge has two sofas and so comfortably seats 4. There is a dining table which extends to seat 4, with additional folding chairs stored within the table itself if required. The dining table provides an ideal workspace - fast, free, unlimited 5G broadband is available from the router next to the dining table. Why not work on your laptop overlooking the panoramic sea view?
Unusually for a 2 bedroom flat, there are two full bathrooms in Bellevue Bute - the main family bathroom is accessed from the main hallway, the second is en suite to the master bedroom. Both have showers, the main bathroom has a walk in shower, the en suite has a Victorian style roll top bath with attached shower.
The SMART TV should be connected to the internet upon switching on and is preloaded with popular Apps such as BBC iPlayer and Netflix. If the internet connection has been lost it can easily be reconnected via the systems menu on the TV (WiFi user name and password is on the bottom of the router, also located in the lounge). If you do not wish to use the Apps then all Freeview channels are available via the connected Freeview aerial.
The kitchen is well equipped with hob, oven, fridge (with ice box), dishwasher and washing machine (both available to use at no extra cost with eco friendly washing liquid and dish washer tablets provided ). There is ample plates, dishes, glasses, cutlery, pots, pans, cooking utensils for 4 people. Within the cupboards you will find salt, pepper, rice, pasta and olive oil, together with tea, sugar and a complementary bag of our own home roasted Dryad coffee.
Eco friendly dishwasher tablets and washing liquid for the washing machine are located in the cupboard under the sink.
There is a communal drying green at the rear of the property and also a folding clothes stand stored in the hall cupboard.
The gardens to the rear of the tenement are communal. Guests of Bellevue Bute are welcome to use the drying green and pegs are supplied for this in the hall cupboard of the flat. Please return the pegs to the flat after use.
Please be aware that the flat is on the top floor of the tenement (hence the spectacular views) and is accessed via 6 flights of stairs (arranged across 3 landings).

Please ensure that you book for the correct number of guests (a strict maximum of 3 adults sleeping in one double bed and one single bed, with a camp bed available for a child under 12). We do not charge per guest but we do need to know how many people are staying in the flat at any time for our fire risk assessment and also our insurance. We leave one set of towels per person on the booking (bath sheet and hand towel). If you wish to bring an additional guest after booking (within the occupancy of the flat) then please amend your booking so that we can ensure sufficient towels are provided. If you book for 2 adults for example but wish to add an extra person there is no additional cost.

The camera points at the stairwell leading up to the flat and the exterior of the front door of Bellevue Bute only. There are no cameras or recording devices located internally within the flat.
