Itinerary
Day 1: Departing from your home area and journey to the Firth of Clyde and Wemyss Bay. Here we join the Calmac ferry for the crossing to the Isle of Bute and Rothesay, arriving at The Glenburn Hotel for a 4 nights stay dinner, bed and breakfast.
Day 2: Today is free for you to explore your new surroundings. Make your way into the town, why not take a pleasant walk along the promenade, relax and watch the world go by, or have a lazy day in the hotel and admire the views to Loch Striven and beyond.
Day 3: Today we go on a spectacular sightseeing tour. We make our way to the North of the island to Rhubodach. Here we join the ferry for the 10-minute crossing to Colintraive, continuing northwards to Loch Fyne. We follow the coast road around the tip of the loch, turning south to the lovely little white-washed town of Inveraray. There is time for a look around and obtain a drink and bite to eat before our afternoon visit to the magnificent, unique and fascinating Inveraray Castle. The ancestral home of the Duke of Argyll (Featured in Downton Abbey as Duneagle Castle). Later we retrace our steps to Colintraive and the ferry to Bute.
Day 4: This morning we have a sightseeing drive around Bute, ending with a visit to the superb Mount Stuart House. Set in 300 acres of landscape and woodlands, the house is known as Britain’s most spectacular Victorian Gothic House. It is an architectural fantasy of the 3rd Marquis of Bute. Set 5 miles South from Rothesay this is an ideal way to end the tour, the house and grounds offer the visitor much to see. From here we return to the hotel.
Day 5: Leaving the hotel after breakfast we cross by ferry to Wemyss Bay and continue our journey home.
