A window seat in the spacious living room allows guests to enjoy uninterrupted views to the sea and across to the Mull of Kintyre beyond.

The cottage is ideal for walkers, golfers and wildlife enthusiasts, or for those who simply wish to relax in front of the wood burner and nod off to the sound of the sea. It provides a wonderful base from which to explore both the spectacular coastal and mountainous location in the immediate area together with the rest of Arran. Lochranza with the Arran Distillery, golf course, places to eat and drink and the Claonaig ferry to hop across to the Kintyre Peninsula is just 2 miles away.
