Thoughtfully renovated, this superb property is set in an enviable location creating a superb place in which to create your ultimate Scottish escape with friends or family.

Enter your own fairytale in this exquisite tower hideaway, set within a sweeping estate on the sublime west coast of Arran. Families, friends and four-pawed pals will find freedom, thrilling wildlife, pristine beaches, mighty mountains and spectacular castles. Discover Machrie Bay (1 mile), and Machrie Moor and Stone Circle (3.5 miles), with myriad other ancient sites scattered all around. Find a brilliant brewery near Brodick Castle (11 miles) and a sweet distillery at Lochranza (14 miles). Spot whales, porpoises, basking sharks and eagles from atop the tower, as lords and ladies of all you survey. Blackwaterfoot Beach (6.5 miles) has fine views and golden sands.

Inside, you’ll find three elegant, bright and cosy floors, full of loving touches, quirky contemporary art and fabulous framed photos of the local landscape. Gather in the glorious lounge/diner for whisky, feasts of fine local produce and fireside evenings of wagging tails and reminiscence; commandeer the sumptuous fireside armchairs, or spill out through doors into the garden. On sunny mornings and glowing nights, the kitchen is a sanctuary of arched windows and sweet mid-century style. The three first-floor bedrooms – two twins with en-suites and a spacious super king-size – each have their unique charms; there’s also a bright and beautiful bathroom on this floor. The second-floor super king-size has an en-suite shower room, arrow-slits and sensational views. Vistas from the rooftop terrace will leave you speechless, and four-legged friends will adore exploring the estate.

Take a four-wheel tour of the island with Mogabout Safari (11 miles), or the Isle of Arran three-day Adventure Tour, visiting Culzean Castle, Loch Lomond and Robert Burns Country. Join a half-day photography workshop with Arran in Focus, in Lamlash (14 miles) – enjoy the beach bar while you’re there – some dogs say it’s the best in the world! Ascend Goatfell for astounding views to remember until you return to this incredible isle.

The Tower is a large property situated in a lovely location on Arran. It was very comfortable and very well equipped. Views from the roof terrace were amazing. You need to be aware that it is located on a working shooting estate and it was fascinating watching the antics of the pheasants.
