Casa Mara

Located a mere 100 metres from the shorefront in Brodick, this recently renovated holiday house is in a great central location to access the variety of fascinating sites, charming villages and wild landscapes across the Isle of Arran. Sleeping 12 over six bedrooms, this exceptionally appointed home is close to the plethora of amenities that Brodick has to offer, including welcoming eateries, convenient shops and the ferry terminal. Take a refreshing morning stroll on the beach and eat breakfast in one of the cafes or grab a pastry from the local bakery.

This grand property has been renovated with excellent attention to detail to make this a comfortable and beautifully presented home. Spacious and airy rooms with stylish wallpapers and fabrics create a cosy and bright home. Elements such as the Scottish thistle have been blended seamlessly into the decor to give a fun yet subtle nod to the beautiful location. Pastel colours are paired with warm woods and atmospheric lighting to maximise the homely feel of this property.

The ground floor has a lovely sitting room with comfy sofas and delightful textiles as well as an ornamental wood burner heater and a TV, so you can sit back and relax for a family film night while keeping your toes warm. There are two dining areas to choose from if you wish to dine in, one of which is in the kitchen. Well-equipped and perfectly appointed, you can make light snacks or a family dinner, and even watch the TV at the same time. You’ll also find a convenient utility room which, along with the dining room, has access to the garden. The first lovingly decorated king-size bedroom is also located on the ground floor, plus an en-suite. Off the main hall, there is a games room which has a table tennis table for some indoor entertainment.

Up the sweeping staircase are five more bedrooms, each decorated with neutral tones and woodland decor to add some country living charm. Three of these are spacious king-size bedrooms with en-suites, one is a double, and the other is a cosy small double bedroom which has combed ceilings.

Outside the property there is a private enclosed garden which has been beautifully arranged to include a lawn, patio area and even a covered pond. Take your morning cup of tea outside and listen out for the sound of the waves. The rear garden also has access to the seafront via an access path. Parking is available for one car on the drive but extra parking is located a two-minute walk away.

The convenient location of the property means you're within easy reach of the star attractions of Arran. Just 2.5 miles away, you'll find the much-loved Brodick Castle, Garden and Country Park. Here there are formal gardens to stroll through, stunning woodland walks and impressive waterfalls, not to mention the magnificent house itself as well as the thrilling Isle Be Wild adventure play park for the younger ones to enjoy.

If you're looking for more challenging walks, then why not traverse the Arran Coastal Way for some picturesque views and stop off at the villages for a bite to eat? Alternatively you can take on the snow-speckled peaks of Goatfell, the highest point on the Isle of Arran. Other active adventures include the Arran Outdoor Centre which offers activities ranging from sailing and gorge walking to mountain biking and hiking.

On the other side of the island, but still only 12 miles away, you can find the Machrie Moor Standing Stones. This Neolithic ceremonial site is a fascinating place considering its ancient history. There are several lovely routes over the moors which cover a few of these curious stone circles.

To see some wildlife, head down to Kildonan 11 miles away. This lovely sandy beach is the ideal location for a seaside picnic while looking out to see the seals and otters by the shore or basking on the rocks.
