Vacation Rental Description

The Port Royal Hotel is an ancient stone-built village inn right on the seashore at Port Bannatyne, a fishng and sailing bay on the unspoilt Scottish Isle of Bute. Time has passed by this part of Scotland, there is little traffic and no modern development for tourism, industry or retirement homes.

Bought ten years ago by a Russian family the old pub has been converted into a Russian Tavern of  Imperial Times with cedar tables and floor, kegs of live ale on the bar, a piano and open fireplace, wooden dolls and wall-plates, tapestries and wild flowers, candle-light and games of chess. Freshly landed seafood is served all day and fine Russian delicasies. There are Russian wines, beers and vodkas. The views from the tavern out across the sea and the bobbing yachts across to the rolling hills of Argyll are truly a film-set.

There are five guestrooms for tourists and yachtsmen and a room for two costs just £64 including healthy and substantial Russian breakfasts.

 

Area Description

This is an ideal location to chillout from modern hectic life and revitalize amidst stunning scenery, fresh sea-air and countryside varying from forest, highlands, freshwater lochs, tiny farms and deserted beaches (except that is for the seals!) Go hiking, biking, sail, play golf or petanque, horse-ride, seek out the prehistoric sites and Standing Stones, fish the sea or the inland waters, visit the castles and Gothic Mount Stuart House.

The Port Royal Hotel is just 50 yards from Port Bannatyne Marina, and 100 yards from the ancient 13 hole Port Bannatyne Golf-course with astounding scenery in all directions of forest, mountains, islands, lochs and the yachts of Port Bannatyne village. The village itself has two pubs, a Post Office and shop, a fish-and-chip shop, and The Russian Tavern. There is a hikers trail on what was an old tram-track across the the western side of the island and the mile-long sandy beach of Ettrick Bay.
