This is an immaculately kept, perfectly kitted-out holiday lodge in a great location, on the "sunset" side of Arran, a short walk from the village of Blackwaterfoot, which has great local amenities.
The accommodation is comfortable, clean, bright and airy with high ceilings and exposed wood giving it a slightly Alpine feel. Great views across to Goatfell and nearby hills,with a handy terrace to watch the sunset.
Good location, just a half hour from the ferry and handy for Blackwaterfoot which boasts a hotel with nice pool, bar, and restaurant, the island's only butcher, and a well-stocked Post Office/shop (a wider range of exotic gins and fever tree tonics I've never seen in a local shop!).
Well- equipped kitchen allowed us to cook island delights from said butcher while the hotel was handy for meals out.
Great for walking to the King's Cave and a short drive from Machrie Mor standing stones. Easy to get to Broadick to climb Goatfell and visit the nearby Arran brewery, Equally handy for Lochranza with its castle and distillery- all worth a visit, the brewery especially.
Great to have such a lovely home-from home on those rainy days when we were recovering from lots of hiking the day before.
The owner, Linda, provides lots of local books and guides as well as a stock of board games for quiet days. Handy to have WiFi too, though I enjoyed pretending we didn't so I could get away from all! TV signal not always great, but this is a Scottish island, so that's expected. DVD player meant we could watch our favourite films instead.
