One of the most southerly of the Scottish Isles, Arran encapsulates the grandeur and majesty of Scotland, but all packaged within an accessible area 19 miles long by 10 miles wide. The island has a number of pretty villages on Arran’s stunning coastline which are contrasted by a rugged and mountainous interior in the north.
For outdoor lovers, Arran offers mountain biking, paragliding, canyoning, sea kayaking, scrambling and more; you can even book an island safari! The Isle of Arran is a place where you can find a little bit of everything you’d ever want from a Scottish island; an ever-changing coastline, dramatic mountain peaks, sheltered beaches, verdant forests, great cultural festivals, and a wealth of tasty local produce. A holiday on Arran packs in a lot of flavour - taste your way around the island as you try creamy cheeses, refreshing beers, traditional oatcakes, tempting chocolates and delicious ice cream. Book a tour at the Arran Distillery to discover the secrets behind the distilling process before sampling a dram of malt whisky or the creamy liqueur Arran Gold.
For a unique experience, take a small ferry over to the Holy Isle and you will discover a friendly Buddhist community, where animals roam freely, including Saanen goats and Eriskay ponies. Lamlash Bay also offers sea kayaking and powerboat trips, so you can explore the bay at your own pace. This is a natural paradise with sightings of red squirrels, golden eagles, red deer, otters, and seals.

Very comfortable cottage in a brilliant location. This was our second visit and we will most definitely be back. Watching the sunrise with a morning coffee was blissful.

Second visit to this lovely holiday cottage in a beautiful location. Views from the house are stunning. Overall comfortable, clean and everything we needed. Kitchen equipment all provided and dog very well provided for. The outside shower tap is a brilliant addition this year. Bathroom is small but has been improved since last visit. Heating efficient if needed throughout house. Lots of steps/stairs, some quite challenging internal and external depending on mobility. Sunroom makes it perfect place to relax.

We were absolutely delighted with the accommodation and the setting. The lodge was well prepared, a lovely present awaited us in the kitchen. The housekeepers were readily available and thanked us for leaving the place super clean. It was a really nice place to stay, our family really liked staying there and we hope to go back one day in the future.
