Please note: The approach to this property is via an unmade track.. Recently refurbished, Seaview is a traditional detached cottage located in a traditional Scottish clachan that has been fully renovated whilst retaining many of its original features, creating a wonderful holiday home that offers contemporary living with a true ‘cottage’ feel. It is located in the tranquil village of Corrie in an elevated position, otherwise known as ’High Corrie’. The property is accessed via a narrow, steep, but well maintained lane and offers stunning sea views across the Firth of Clyde and up into the mountains. Please note the final approach to the cottage is an uneven road but there is space to leave a car before the right fork.
The cottage was originally owned by a local sculptor, and this is evident in the many features designed into the original stone walls and the unique staircase carved in the shape of ocean waves. The stairs have a right-angle turn, with a handrail on only one side, and are open for the bottom four steps. It was previously the home of famed Scottish colourist John MacLauchlan Milne. The kitchen area has all the appliances required, along with a dining table and chairs for family and friends to dine together. The living area enjoys sea views and has large comfy sofas, while the wood burner provides an attractive focal point set in the stone wall and creates a cosy atmosphere on cooler evenings.
There is a double and a twin bedroom both with traditional low ceilings, with an additional sofa bed in the living space offering flexible sleeping arrangements. Wardrobes and drawers have been built into the rafters, making maximum use of the storage space. Velux windows bring in plenty of natural light and a roll-top bath offers the perfect way to relax following a day’s walking.
Outside in the garden there are lovely views of the sea and mountains, and it is a restful place to relax in the sun or enjoy an al fresco meal at the picnic table whilst taking in the views and listening to the burn that runs down the side of the garden.
Seaview is located in the peaceful conservation village of Corrie, yet is only 6 miles away from the main village of Brodick. Corrie has a children’s play park and a hotel serving good food and drink to the public, offering regular live music and a stunning seaside beer garden. The renowned local fish bar and deli, which serves locally sourced seafood, is less than a mile’s walk away. For walking enthusiasts, the cottage is at the start of the Corrie route up the island’s highest peak, Goatfell. A 5-minute drive away in Sannox you will find the Corrie Golf Club, which has a lovely tea room and a sandy beach. Seaview is an idyllic spot to relax and get away from it all—peaceful but close to amenities—and is a great base for your Arran holiday. Pub and restaurant ½ mile.
There are open, steep, spiral or narrow stairs at the property.
Approach to property is by a rough or gravel track.

Beautiful property in a wonderful location. Well furnished with quality items. Sadly we won’t be returning as the cottage is only suitable for people under 5’6”. I acknowledge that the description stated that there were ‘traditional low ceilings’. We have stayed in cottages like this before and there is normally padding on the sharp corners. My wife and I are 6’ and 5’8” and we were both covered in cuts and bruises by the end of the week. It’s not just the low ceiling though. On our first night we had to eat dinner with our fingers as we could not find any cutlery. The telephone number given for assistance is only available until 5:30 (other than an emergency call out number). We spent 2 hours tearing the cottage apart searching for cutlery, but had to wait until the following morning for someone to tell us where the hidden drawer is. They’ve thoughtfully put a sticker on the edge of the drawer saying ‘cutlery’. Unfortunately, if you cannot see the drawer then you cannot see the sticker either. Maybe think of putting a sticker per on the outer drawer to let people know.

Lovely cottage on a gorgeous island! Don’t mention the midges!!Worth noting the Cottage is in High Corrie which gives you a head start-up Goatfell and view out to the sea but is up a fairly steep lane. You definitely need a car. Corrie itself is a sweet place with two excellent eating establishments but little else but is on the road which loops the island and so an easy drive without being in Brodick itself. The Cottage is well equipped but do take your own tea, coffee, sugar, salt, and pepper which we tend to find in other cottages.
