With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Rothesay, 16 miles away, has to offer. Mount Stuart, Rothesay Castle and Rothesay Ferry Terminal alone justify the drive. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Lochgilphead, 25 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Kilmartin Glen. (But we’re also big fans of Kilmartin House Museum and Arichonan Clearance Village.)
