Catacol is one of Arran’s most charming and historic locations. The nearby row of cottages known as the “Twelve Apostles” is a much-loved local landmark, and the area is a paradise for walkers and wildlife lovers. From the doorstep, explore coastal trails, peaceful glens, and wooded paths where red squirrels, deer, and birds of prey are often seen. Just two miles south lies Lochranza, home to the photogenic ruins of Lochranza Castle and the island’s acclaimed Arran Distillery, a must-visit for whisky lovers offering guided tours and tastings. The Isle of Arran itself is often described as "Scotland in miniature" thanks to its rich diversity of landscapes and attractions. A short drive south brings you to Brodick, the island’s main village, where you’ll find shops, cafés, and Brodick Castle, a magnificent baronial mansion set amid beautiful gardens and woodland walks.
For the more adventurous, a climb up Goatfell, Arran’s highest peak, rewards with panoramic views across the Clyde and beyond. History buffs will enjoy the mysterious standing stones and ancient cairns at Machrie Moor, while families can explore beaches, waterfalls, and a range of outdoor activities including golf, cycling, and kayaking. Arran is also renowned for its artisan food and drink, from cheese and oatcakes to gin, beer, and handmade chocolates. Local markets and farm shops showcase the island’s produce, while artists and crafters offer unique handmade souvenirs in galleries dotted across the island.
Whether you’re relaxing by the fire, watching the sunset from the garden, or heading out to explore all that Arran has to offer, this three-bedroom holiday home in Catacol is a welcoming and well-equipped base in one of the island’s most tranquil and scenic settings.

We absolutely adored The Green - the most spectacular views, cosy, warm, very comfortable beds. It's not super-luxe if that's what you're after, but it's exactly what we were looking for our Hogmanay and big birthday celebrations. We had the loveliest time, can't recommend this magical place enough, and the west coast of Arran overlooking the Mull of Kintyre. Red squirrels, deer, heron, seabirds and wild weather make this place truly memorable.

The Green was one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. It has an outstanding view and is very spacious, beautiful, and spotlessly clean. The cottage is extremely quiet and has everything you need – it truly felt like a home away from home.The owner was very friendly and helpful, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is perfect, with easy access to everywhere you might want to visit.The bed was incredibly comfortable, the kitchen had a stunning view and plenty of space, and the living room was large, bright, and beautiful. We would absolutely love to stay here again.
