Sitting in a quiet residential setting at the edge of the pretty coastal village of Lamlash on the beautiful island of Arran, this charming holiday cottage puts you and your pack just a short walk from a glorious sandy bay looking out to the magical and historic Holy Isle. Ideal for getting salt and sand in the fur and blowing those cobwebs away.
Set within a large wrap-around enclosed garden and surrounded by majestic scenery, this comfortable, well-equipped cottage accommodates up to six guests and one dog across one level, although it should be noted that three steps lead up to the front door. Inside, light floods through a full-length picture window into the large and welcoming sitting room with feature fireplace, which creates a cosy focal point after an active day discovering this fabulous island. You can also come together in the sunroom dining area, enjoying relaxed meals while looking out to the summit of Holy Isle and the Monamore Hills. From here a French door leads onto the patio, which is the perfect spot for dining alfresco under the setting sun.
Conveniently located on the island's main bus route, staying at this property lets you shift down a gear and leave your car behind as you explore everything on offer. Start your adventure by sniffing around Lamlash, 1 mile north, where you will find shops selling local produce and crafts, and a good choice of restaurants, bistros, pubs and cafes. Head down to the shore, where seals are often seen sunning themselves, and take a ferry across to Holy Isle, perhaps spotting a dolphin or basking shark on the way. Alternatively, head west along The Ross, through Monamore Glen, for spectacular scenery, or get on your bike and follow the off-road cycle trail south, enjoying endless stick-chasing adventures along forest trails.
