Set in an elevated spot on the Isle of Arran, this superb home boasts panoramic views of both coast and countryside. Sleeping eight guests and two dogs, this deceptively spacious bungalow has a delightful outdoor space and is close to the charming village of Blackwaterfoot. Spend days dipping your toes in the Firth or climbing the fabulous hiking spots on the island, before getting cosy and spending time together on an evening.

This property is located alongside several other homes and is stylishly decorated throughout. Light floods into every room through large windows and each bedroom is super welcoming. There is space to park three cars outside the property. Set over one floor with two lounge spaces, this home is perfectly laid out for socialising together.

Kick off walking boots in the hallway and get straight to cooking a hearty Scottish stovie in the sophisticated kitchen. The oak dining table has seating for all guests and is set in front of the window overlooking the garden with far-reaching views. After eating, head through to the welcoming lounge and curl up on the sumptuous sofas. Flick on the Smart TV and watch your favourite movies as you reflect on the day’s events. If it’s a bonnie day or evening, the separate lounge space doubles up as a sunroom and has panoramic views. The four sumptuous bedrooms are accessed via the hallway and each boast wonderful views. Choose from a king-size, two doubles, and a twin bedroom, all of which share the use of a family bathroom and a family shower room.

Heading outside, guests will love the vast lawn space that wraps around the property. A small patio area has a picnic bench where you can sit together and enjoy al fresco meals while soaking up the incredible vistas. Lay out a blanket on an evening and admire the starry night sky. There is also lockable storage for your bikes and wetsuits.

The house is on a hillside so any difficulty with access is repaid by a beautiful view. The large table in the kitchen is ideal for family meals.

Had a lovely week in Arran staying at Tofts Knowe. The property is ideally situated for access to Blackwaterfoot village and Shiskine Golf Course. Although, it should be said that everything in Arran is readily accessible. We would have no hesitation returning to this property. Kay & Neil

Lovely bungalow which was very well equipped. Beds were lovely and very comfortable. The views from the property were amazing and Blackwaterfoot a great base for touring the island.
