Property was as described and was situated in such a peaceful area. Everything we needed was in the chalet. It was warm and comfortable and so easy to access other parts of the island. We had not stayed in this area before and thoroughly enjoyed it. A 20 minute walk took us to the Kinloch hotel for a superb evening meal. Wildlife in the grounds of the chalet was great. Loved the red squirrels and hares in the morning. Could not have asked for better.

Perfect chalet for us and our 2 granddaughters.

Lovely experience from beginning to end. The chalet had everything we could possibly want and having an ensuite and a separate bathroom was a bonus.Kris was a delightful host who was extremely helpful at all times. Particularly when there was no water at our end of the island!Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

A home away from home. Our second stay at this fantastic lodge within 3 months. Our first trip was as a family with 3 young children and the most recent trip with my father and sister. Everything you could need ever need inside and outside from children’s colouring and games to condiments to views of the sea and the most beautiful starry nights. A welcome bottle of wine and chocolate on arrival and Kris was a fantastic host. Thank you very much, hopefully we will be back again very soon

What a wonderful place

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful place. The whole island is spectacular, Blackwaterfoot and Mcaras View are a perfect, quiet corner of the island. The lodge itself was perfect for the four of us as a base for a few days (which wasn't long enough, but we'll be back!)

Like all the reviews have said, the house was spotless and had everything we needed. We had 2 red squirrels passing in the morning, a pheasant, rabbits, and bird song. The swallows had arrived too and were very entertaining! Thank you to Kris for making our 3 day break so relaxing and we will definitely return. Janet and Duncan, Ayr

A home from home

The title describes everything. Very well appointed, warm and welcoming. The perfect quiet retreat to come back to after a day spent exploring. One of the features of Arran is its wildlife and the lodge has cheeky inquisitive red squirrels all around. A treat of a retreat!

Mascaras View

The lodge was exceptionally clean and so much care taken to provide everything we could possible need. We had a contest to see which of us could discover something we might have used - we came up with one item, but even so managed perfectly well without it! The extra items, like hand washes, hand creams, and room fresheners, were so welcome - as was the ‘welcome’ gift.

Ideal location and home away from home

Beautiful property with all the comforts of home. The setting was perfect and not far from Brodick and even closer to Blackwaterfoot. Clean cabin with ramp or steps. Large TV and all the kitchen supplies you would need. The only thing to know before you go, is this property does not provide bath Towels but that IS listed in the aminities online, i just failed to read it. Host was great and responded quickly to any questions we had! Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful lodge!

We come to Arran every year (2 adults, 2 children ages 8&6) and often stay in Lochranza but went for a change this year. We found this wonderful lodge in quiet surroundings which is a short walk from Blackwaterfoot where there is a nice beach. It's also close to Kings Caves for a short, flat-ish hike which we all thoroughly enjoyed. We used the lodge as a good base to go for bike rides as well as a bit further afield - Goat Fell, Brodick Castle and up towards Loch Tanna near Catacol. The lodge itself is superbly equipped with everything you could possibly need! Everything is spotlessly clean, and is one of those places that feels cosy and warm. We had Kris's number for any questions, and he left the key for us to easily get into the lodge. The welcome gifts were very well received - thank you!! It was a lovely cosy place to come back to in the chilly evenings and relax in the peaceful surroundings. Thank you to our hosts for providing such a warm and welcoming place to spend a few days of adventuring!
