The terraced cottage is excellently situated in the middle of the village with an open outlook over Lamlash Bay and the Holy Isle and is well placed for all local amenities including a supermarket which is only a two minute walk away. Lamlash offers a good range of services for the tourist including a selection of eating and drinking establishments. There is a bus stop just outside the cottage with a regular bus service to all parts of the island.
From the bay window in the living room on the ground floor there are spectacular views to the Holy Isle where you can sit and watch the world go by. There is a TV, Freeview, DVD/CD player and a superfast broadband connection which gives excellent WiFi. Also on the ground floor there is an open plan kitchen/dining room, a bedroom with 6’ bunk beds and a bathroom with a bath and shower
There are two bedrooms upstairs. One with a double bed and one with two single beds. A travel cot is also available.
There is a large common green in front of the house where children can play and families can socialise and meet new friends. There is a drying green at the rear of the property.
“Thank you Sherry and Bill for giving us the opportunity of visiting the beautiful Isle of Arran. We had a wonderful time here. The house is ideally located in the village of Lamlash overlooking the sea and the Holy Isle. The village is well serviced with shops, pubs and restaurants. We enjoyed the magnificent scenery and walks on the island. The house was very cosy and we would definitely like to return some day. Thanks again for your great hospitality.”
“We have been very happy on Arran Island. It's a beautiful island with a lot to see and to do and you can do a lot without car with the bus, there are good restaurants and you can fish huge crabs. The house is in front of the beach with a breathtaking landscapes. The family has been very nice: they offer us delicious local products and they brought toys for our son. They cared our house during their stay in Bordeaux. If you can swap with Bill, you are a lucky family.”
“Enjoyed a week in this lovely cottage in a superb location. Places to eat within minutes walk. Excellent roast at the Pier Head Tavern (PHT) available 7 days a week. Booking recommended as very busy even at a quiet time of year. Bus stop outside. Seemed to be easy to get around by bus although we didn't use. Arran is very tourist friendly. Lots of parking at viewpoints and by the sea - no charges throughout island. Plenty of seats and picnic tables. Spotlessly clean! Thoroughly recommended.”
“We enjoyed a lovely long weekend at the home of Bill and Sherry on the Isle of Arran. We had previously agreed that we would bring our own bed linen and sheets, but unfortunately we forgot to bring them! Bill and Sherry responded very quickly to our phone call and came over to meet us at the Ferry Port at Ardrossan with a bag of fresh clean linen and towels for us to use, it was lovely to meet them. When we arrived at the accommodation it was in good clean order and we were absolutely delighted to find that the living room and front bedroom windows had the most fabulous views looking right over the bay of Lamlash. The Glen Isle Hotel is only a few paces away from the property and we enjoyed fabulous meals and snacks there. The Isle of Arran is really beautiful and we will definitely go back for family holidays. There are many activities on the island, and our family enjoyed walking, blackberry picking, kayaking in the sea and a fabulous tour around Holy Island on a RIB (Ocean Breeze RIB Tours http://www.obrt.co.uk/) Bill and Sherry left our apartment in Perth in perfect condition too. Many thanks!!”

The Isle of Arran known as "Scotland in Miniature" is one of the most southerly Scottish islands. Like a condensed version of the rest of Scotland, it has mountains and lochs in the north and rolling hills and meadows in the south, surrounded by a stunning coastline. Ideal for adults and children with or without transport, beach, shops, boating, fishing, hillwalking, bowling, tennis, putting and 7 golf courses to choose from.
Arran is connected with the Scottish mainland by two Caledonian MacBrayne ferries, one from Ardrossan to Brodick (55 minutes) and the second (in summertime only) from Claonaig to Lochranza (30 minutes). Ardrossan is only 28 miles from Glasgow Airport and only 16 miles from Glasgow Prestwick International Airport. Edinburgh airport is 79 miles from Ardrossan. During previous exchanges people have stayed a few days in Edinburgh to take in the sites before coming to Arran.
