Lamlash is possibly the prettiest village on Arran and only a short drive from the island capital of Brodick. There is a golf club and yacht club in Lamlash, and the opportunity to take a wee ferry across to Holy Isle for an adventure back in time. Being based in Lamlash means you can explore this brilliant island very easily. Known as Scotland in miniature, you can see dramatic coastlines, mountain peaks, beautiful beaches and majestic forests all in one day. It has an amazing food scene and there are distilleries for to sample a local drink or two. Even though close to the mainland and not far from Glasgow and Edinburgh, Arran feels like it is a world away. A stay at Anchorage Cottage will make you feel like you have truly escaped the hustle and bustle of modern life. Beach 50 yards. Shop 500 yards, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

Fantastic cottage, comfy and well laid out, nice views, easy access to beach (with seals) but still near shops etc. Had a fantastic stay.

Stunning location and spacious well equipped house. Highly recommended. ( ….. note to owners….However the deck needs attention as much of the wood is rotting and the floor itself is uneven and subsiding. )

We had a fantastic week at this cottage. Everything we needed and beautiful view of Holy Isle. Lovely spacious cottage for all the family. We have booked the same week again next year. Just a little request to make it perfect, please could we have new bigger towels.
