An absolutely wonderful place to be. The house was so comfortable, warm and cosy. It was such a welcoming place to get to when we arrived on the last ferry because of Storm Amy. Lamlash is a great base and the house is just perfect, it's location is amazing.

A lovely property with amazing views across the bay and over to Holy Island, seeing the seals most days was also a great experience. The owner was extremely helpful and the local restaurants and people very friendly. A fantastic base to explore the island and all its wildlife. Would highly recommend.

What can I say to make 5 stars all round d even better? I can only think of The Sheiling as Heaven on Earth. .....for all ages. This year it was a haven of peace amidst various traumas happening back home being wonderfully managed by other family members! Can't wait to return.

The Sheiling is the perfect place for a relaxing stay on beautiful Arran island. Best views on the island within walking distance to all amenities. Golf round the corner was a plus, too.
