Overview
Property code: CA305

Perched just metres from the shore on the glorious Isle of Arran, this whitewashed bolthole surrounded by beautiful scenery offers the perfect base for eight guests with a thirst for adventure.

Located on Arran’s east coast, this spacious and welcoming ground-floor apartment is just metres from the shore. Sleeping eight guests across four bedrooms, the property is the perfect choice for family holidays or getaways with friends. With a south-facing garden and fabulous sea views, which often feature otters, its enviable location is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. While keen walkers take on the mighty Goatfell, others can take to the water with a kayaking trip from Arran Outdoor Centre.

Inside, this apartment has been tastefully presented to create a home-from-home feel throughout, with traditional furnishings and tasteful neutral decor. Enjoy mealtimes in the spacious kitchen/diner, which is fitted with traditional wooden units and furnished with a large table for memorable meals. At the end of a long day, sink into one of the two inviting leather sofas in the sitting room, which is a beautifully airy space that opens onto the garden. Settle in for an evening of games with the family or prepare some popcorn and watch your favourite film using the Freeview TV/DVD player. Each of the four bedrooms has been tastefully decorated in neutral tones to ensure a restful night’s sleep for all. Stepping outside, the enclosed garden is perfect for children and four-legged friends to play and explore while grownups enjoy a glass of wine at the garden table.

Comfy beds. Great views. Quiet location and close to amenities. In need of a lick of paint. Nice big fridge/freezer. De-humidifier was handy. Water was, indeed, very brown, but we brought our own for the dogs and for drinking although when boiled for tea/coffee it was okay. We bought soap for handwashing etc. Good value for the price.
