We adored the bird feeder right next to the kitchen table, always busy, which is particularly good when the weather is poor. Our hosts were so helpful with advice about where we might find otters, etc & we did, for the first time! The cottage was in a lovely position for the walks that we wanted to do & we fell in love with Arran. Other additional bonuses - the best fridge/freezer ever & properly comfortable sofas! We have already booked to come back next year.

This is a lovely place to stay on Arran. The location is excellent, with food stores in lamlash and Brodick not too far away. Kildonan is a short drive and excellent for otters!The house itself is spotless and probably as well- equipped as any we have stayed in. Bedrooms are comfortable and the lounge is perfect for relaxing in. On nice days the garden is a pleasant place to sit.The owners live nearby and are a font of knowledge on the area.Overall I cannot recommend this property highly enough.
