This lovely cottage is situated in a peaceful and tranquil location on the edge of woodland, on the magical Isle of Arran. It is a perfect holiday spot for those wanting to get away from it all for a while and relax in the beautiful Scottish countryside. With room for five guests, this is the ultimate cosy cottage for getting out and exploring nature with the endless array of wildlife and birds nearby. The cottage is also just half a mile from Machrie Bay with its 9-hole golf course.

The property itself is across a single floor with a traditional and charming interior. Decorated in a neutral colour palette, splashes of coasting colours remind you of your island location.

The living room is a welcoming space and tastefully decorated in neutral tones. There is ample seating for guests and the room also has a dining table for six at the far end, making this a great location to spend cosy evenings eating and relaxing in front of the television. There is also an open fire for chillier seasons which you can gather around, perhaps with a dram of local whisky. The modern kitchen also has everything you will need to create meals – why not experiment with some of the produce found locally on Arran? Also on this level, guests can choose from a charming king-size room, a cosy twin (which can be made into a super-king) or a single bedroom. All rooms are fresh and stylish and promise a restful night’s sleep.

A door from the kitchen leads to the garden which comes complete with garden furniture. There is also private parking available. To the front of the property, there is a picnic bench where you can sit and enjoy an afternoon tea or morning coffee in this beautiful setting.

This is a quite isolated spot so if you are looking for bright lights etc... find somewhere else! Its lovely and quiet and the open fire makes it cosy (it was -2 degrees out side most of our stay). The beds are comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. It was all very welcoming.

The cottage was a perfect base for us for a memorable stay on Arran. We are just sorry that we only stayed for a week and not longer.

Excellent location on the island. Very quiet, comfortable and well equipped (but kitchen utensils needs a bit more thought). We had a great week here made even better by superb weather. Definitely recommended.
