Cottage holiday rentals in Isle of Arran

My friend and I chose this cottage for a quiet getaway with our dogs and it was just what we hoped it would be. We were welcomed by Barbara and Graeme upon arrival and they were very kind and helpful if we had any queries at all. The place was spotless and had everything we needed. The views from the bedrooms were stunning and there were plenty walks nearby the property, which were especially lovely in the evening with the sunsets. It was the perfect scenic escape we needed. Thank you Barbara and Graeme (and Rosie the golden retriever of course!).

Lakeside Cottage is beautiful, peaceful, steeped in history & easy to access once you know where it is, we drove past it 3 times lol. We were greeted with gorgeous fresh flowers in each room & a very tasty bottle of prosecco. Most Definitely will be going back at some point in the near future & can't recommend it enough as a quiet getaway - listening to the river Ayr was blissful!!

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!

Clare’s place was simply amazing! It is beautiful and well thought out. It has everything you need to feel right at home. We cooked some meals for our kids and the kitchen was well equipped for everything we made. The animals and wildlife around the house was an added bonus and kept the kids very entertained, along with the little play area to the side of the house. We will definitely be back if we were in this part of the world again :)

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

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Not only does the place look fantastic but it is extremely homey and comfortable. The host Lynne was super prepared for our stay and had a high chair set up for our baby along with baby wipes readily available. A lovely welcome pack left in the fridge for us which was greatly appreciated. The property had so much to offer from a large spacious garden with a games garage with a pool table and plenty of garden games, A hot tub and patio furniture (All of which in fabulous condition) to beautiful soft furnishing indoors, with comfortable bedding and fresh towels on each bed. An excellent kitchen with all the things you would need and a local shop at the end of the road that’s easily accessible. Short drive to Ayr beach and all that has to offer also so is perfect to be able to enjoy the sea side but come back to a quiet residential space at the end of the day. 10/10 stay and would highly recommend to anyone looking to visit the area.

Thank you Donna! Fantastic place, gorgeous location and so, so helpful! Would recommend this to anyone traveling to see us and staying in the area! Top host, extremely friendly and so helpful.

Great small cottage as a base for exploring the Dunoon area, we had a lovely day at Benmore Gardens and a great trip over to Loch Lomond and Arachar. The cottage is compact but has everything that you need with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and bedroom. Top tip is to buy your tickets before getting on the ferry over from Gourock, if you’re coming that way as they charge a fortune if you buy on- board!

Such a lovely little cottage, perfect to get away for a small family or couple, it is “wee” but the space is used so efficiently, it is so comfortable & cosy & homely. Such great value especially considering breakfast was included which you don’t come across on Airbnb much! Kevin was a great host, helpful & responsive. Nice location for coastal walks & ferries to the islands or going to Loch Lomond. Great place to bring the dogs. Beautiful views in a peaceful location. We went on a bank holiday & there weren’t many food options on the Sunday, something to be aware of as the town is quite small, but we found somewhere and it was lovely so all round very happy!

Couldn't have been happier with the cottage or the location. The cottage was clean, well presented and had everything we needed. The beds and pillows were comfortable including the sofa bed. The kitchen was well stocked. Great to be able to log into Amazon and Disney on the TV and watch like at home. Drymen was only 20 minute walk down a quiet road with plenty of amenities. Pretty too. Just a bit further to Balmaha, Loch Lomond and Finnich Glen.

A lovely old farmhouse at the back of a working farm, with direct access onto the forest paths. The house had everything that you needed, the beds were comfortable, and everything was clean. We couldn't have asked for more.

This was a truly amazing place to stay. Everything was perfect. We stayed with our 2 adult sons for our annual holiday get together. The decor is really calming and comfortable. Spacious, ample hot water, great kitchen table. The surrounding areas are incredible, breathtaking scenery. Felt sad to leave, such a happy time, beautiful house, beautiful area. Adrian was fantastic, responsive and kind. Thank you. This place is one in a million

This was our second stay at Bernard's place and it was just as we remembered. It is spacious, comfortable, practical, and in a great location. Our dogs had plenty of space in the secure private garden. We have enjoyed both stays very much as we have found it a very relaxing place to stay. We can also highly recommend the meals at The Catch at Find restaurant where we have always had a first class meal. Richard & Sharon

Beautiful cottage with everything you need to make you feel at home. Lovely location with lots to do in the nearby area. Thank you for a wonderful few days. Would definitely return!

Lovely and tranquil, would love to return in the summer.clean and fresh.another great Airbnb experience.easy to find and all essentials there too like teabags/coffee .my dogs first night away and she loved it too..thanks Vicki

Drumla Cottage is a beautiful place and the views are stunning. Catherine is very friendly and couldn't have been more helpful throughout our stay. Everything that we needed was available at the cottage and it could not be faulted.

The Net Shed lived up to our expectations and beyond. It was bigger than we expected and well equipped. Sitting area was so bright and provided fantastic views. The back garden was a wonderful little suntrap if you can pull yourself away from the front sea views. We wish we had taken our kayaks with us!

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.

Beccy was an amazing host and I couldn’t have asked for more from the cottage or the surroundings. Would 100% recommend.

Excellent cottage. There are 3 cottages connected on the site which share a games room/laundry room. Unfortunately the sauna has not yet been finished so were not able to use it, but otherwise was brilliant. Very clean, spacious and comfortable. Has an especially well kitted out kitchen which was useful for our party of 6. Very well located. Would definitely go back. Thank you!

We had a great weekend at Fiona’s cottage despite the rainy weather. The cottage is as described and would be absolutely delightful to sit in the beautiful garden enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The cottage is very private and well looked after. We loved lighting up the log fire in the evenings sipping a glass (or 2) of wine and watching the rain fall, absolutely magical. Fiona is a very responsive and helpful host, when we arrived at the cottage we realised there was no hot water, we contacted Fiona and whithin an hour (or less!) we had a technician come to us who solved the problem in a matter of minutes, we were very impressed by Fiona’s prompt action. We managed to bike down to Old Castle Lachlan and Kilmorie Chapel when the rain let up a bit, lovely scenery and an easy ride on our e-bikes. We dined at The Creggan’s Inn and spotted a red squirrel, 2 does and a fawn on the road down to/from The Oystercatcher, absolutely amazing! Thank you for having us Fiona, we will be back!

Dot and Dougie were excellent hosts. The cottage is spacious with lovely decor. We felt at home straight away. Delightful garden and views across the valley. Lovely walk from just across the road by a river and gorge. We'd certainly want to stay here again if we come back to Arran.

This is the second time we have stayed here and we loved it just as much the second time round. We are a family of 4 with a 4 and 6 year old and the house is perfect for us. The best view accompanied by chickens and ponies on the doorstep! It's a great base to explore the loch and beyond. Highlights include a local walk to 'the island', climbing Dun na Cuaiche and a ferry over to Kerrera from Oban for a walk and cake. Highly recommend!
