Cottage vacation rentals in Isle of Arran

Flew in from Toronto, Canada to this beautiful home away from home. Barbara, Graeme (and Rosie) were extremely hospitable and welcoming hosts. The cottage has everything you need. Lovely, comfortable linens and beds, clean and modern bathrooms, fully stocked kitchen, and great and private hot tub. The location is very rural, but easy to find with google maps. The town of Kilburnie is close by with a grocery store, gas station and pharmacy among other amenities.

Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away, even though it was raining most of the time. We loved the location on the river especially when sat in the hot tub relaxing.

A great getaway with loads to do close by for whatever mood you're in - great towns and cities like Calendar and Stirling less than half an hour away, equally beautiful countryside and multiple waterfalls, lochs and walks to choose from on the doorstep. Our toddler loved the on site swimming pool and the grown ups enjoyed the peaceful views from the hot tub too! Rosie was so friendly and accommodating.

We had an amazing stay. The cottage was beautiful and the surrounding views were breathtaking. Marcin was an attentive host and we would definitely recommend this place!

Beautiful little cottage, garden and surroundings. After a stressful and long few months establishing a relocated business it was lovely to let go and do nothing in peace! The repurposed and upcycled features are gorgeous and the garden was perfect for our inquisitive and active dog to entertain himself without worry of him getting out. Sitting on the veranda with wine and the fire-pit going whilst watching the rain was just perfect (for me, a weird inclement weather lover!).

Lovely cottage, a good place to relax with friends. Host was very attentive and responded whenever we had an issue. Cottage is spacious inside and out for our group of 9. Hot tub, sauna and cinema room are great extras. Would highly recommend staying here.

We absolutely loved our stay here, the hot tub made it even better. Place was immaculately clean, no faults what so ever. Basic kitchen equipment which is all you need for a few days away. Plenty of restaurants, take aways and shop within the area if you’re driving so was able to have the option there if we fancied. Access was easy and it was easy to find, we both liked how it wasn’t on a public road etc and it was so peaceful at night. We were lucky to be able to see a sunset on our first night and that was fantastic, being able to be in the hot tub and have those views was just unreal. Even on our second night the weather wasn’t the best we still loved every minute of it. We cannot recommend this enough, we will definitely be back! Thank you both again

We just had a great stay. Great communication, Lynne was always responsive and lots of information provided. House was extremely clean, good quality bed linen and loads of lovely fresh towels. Beds comfy. Outside area was perfect for our family lots of space to run around and play plus the hot tub to relax in. Location was perfect for us visiting family and close to the beach and gardens and other places to visit. Thanks for a great stay

We had a fantastic stay in the cottage, it was a lovely cosy space, with everything we could need. Particularly appreciated the cot and highchair, and the washing/drying facilities for soggy walking clothes! Lorna was super friendly and helpful and we look forward to staying again on Arran!

Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay, has everything you need and more. Would return without a second though.

We spent 2 nights here as a last minute getaway. Loved our stay here. Cottage was better than expected with everything and more you could ever need. Kevin recommended a few restaurants in the local area. One being a small pates restaurant which was fantastic and a local Indian which was as good as any we have where I live.

Stunning cottage with a real home from home feel. The cottage was very clean on arrival and check in was a breeze. The artwork inside was particularly special to look at. Hope to be back.

David’s place is in a lovely spot with great views over the Clyde and to Arran only a very short drive from the main coast road making getting around super easy. The place was spotless and everything had been thought of including leaving milk in the fridge and the fire ready made (which we didn’t light as the place is so warm and comfy). David was very friendly and messaged all the information we needed - overall would highly recommend.

This was the most incredibly beautiful property in a stunning location. Pier Cottage is so private and peaceful with views over Loch Striven where you can sit and relax whilst watching the array of wildlife around you or take the kayak out on the loch. The cottage was extremely comfortable and well appointment with everything you would need for you stay. If you are looking for somewhere to unplug from the world and completely relax - this is the ideal place.

We absolutely fell in love with the place. The cottage was warm, cosy, and had everything one needed. I travelled with my granny, daughter and my dog Bailey and we all settled down quickly, it was like being at home. But it wasn't only about the cottage and the lovely host; it was also about the location. The cottage is located just outside of Drymen, a lovely little village with very kind people. I do recommend it to anyone who's looking for a country getaway and who wants an unforgettable stay.

Relaxing stay in a fabulous location. Annette and Moris were great hosts. The food at the Bothy is delicious and well worth a visit. I will definitely be returning to this wonderful place!!

Jane's cottage was exactly as described and immaculate - like a home from home. Easy to find, easy to park at. Great location for the many local attractions - we stayed a few days - we could have had a few weeks worth of things to see. Cottage is beautiful and in a perfect location for exploring locally or regionally. Beautiful, pristine accommodation with garden area and direct walking access to historical rock art sites and the canal. Thoughtfully chosen guide books available to help guests choose things to see. Lochgilphead close by with good takeaways (Argyll Cafe, Taj Mahal) , cafes (Salty Dog) and a CoOp open till 10pm. Really loved the cottage and the area, highly recommend.

Beautiful house with beautiful views. unfortunately the day we arrived the next day there was digging at the plot next door so some days we couldn't sit outside in the garden. This is no fault of Amanda's and we would recommend anyone who is looking for a house that is clean with beautiful views to book.

We stayed at Shurig cottage as family of 4 (kids 4 and 2 years) and grandad! The hosts were really helpful with pre trip and during the trip especially with recommendations of things to do and places to eat. The accommodation was spotless and had all amenities needed. We loved the modern cosy cottage feel! The outdoor space was great too! Highlights of the trip included blackwaterfoot beach which was a great sandy beach for the kids and we even had the kayak out too, Mara fish restaurant in Corrie, seals seen on the west coast, hiking to Machrie Moor standing stones and Kings cave! Both Brodrick castle and the Thyme cafe had great outdoor play areas for the kids (we loved the Pide there too)! We also loved Arran butchers and the bakehouse in Blackwaterfoot! Hamilton cottages is a perfect base for these activities and we will hopefully be back soon! Thank you!

absolutely loved our stay, beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting

The cottage is an extremely comfortable and warm haven. Set in picturesque surroundings at the end of a farm track. It is extremely well equipped and the large hallway and utility/ drying area was excellent for all our coats and shoes etc. I would definitely recommend this place x

This cottage is fantastic. Everything here has been thought of. If you were inclined you could literally prepare any main meal here. The location was perfect for us looking for a simple, peaceful base to explore Bute from. The host has placed in the cottage. plentiful maps, walks and references for things to do on the Island. Ettrick bay is a tranquil retreat with amazing scenery in every direction. It has good walks locally and an hourly bus back into Rothesay. If you wish you can walk the old Tram path back to Port Banantyne (about 90 mins). I have to say we were extremely fortunate with the weather (17-21 March) and it was wonderful at the end of the day to sit on the patio with a glass of wine staring out to sea and the Island of Arran. Simply Stunning.

Amazing stay, the cottage is beautifully and carefully decorated to immediately transport you to the beach. There are great amenities in the cottage if you want to disconnect and enjoy. There’s an amazing reading space in the annex, and the disc player helped us unplug from our usual playlists! There’s also plenty of natural beauty in the garden and the nearby area to enjoy. Heather was an amazing host that offered us so much help after we had some car troubles during our stay. She made a bad situation a bit better with her patience and understanding. 10/10 :D

The cottage was great... clean, comfortable, plenty of space (bigger inside than what you would think) and very quiet. Was ideally situated for us, visiting family in nearby Dalrymple. Would happily stay here again.
