Cottage vacation 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 very beautiful cottage in a private setting. We were met by George on arrival. George was very friendly and informative. We instantly felt right at home. Welcome basket on the kitchen table was a lovely touch. We settled in very quickly and with ease as parking was right outside the cottage. We enjoyed the very clean hot tub in the evenings after our busy days out as well as excellent carryout deliveries. Quality of food was very good. Another highlight was watching the various types of birds feeding, which we could see from the kitchen table and seating area. Especially the Woodpecker which made a regular appearance. We all enjoyed a truly relaxing break in very comfortable and private surroundings. Our check-in and check-out was effortless. Thank you George and Amanda, we will certainly be back.

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 :)

Lovely location and David was very responsive. We had a wee problem with the hot tub and David came out to rectify it early morning when the weather was at its worst. Great hosts and take pride in their accommodation and facilities. A great break in homely accommodation with the hot tub as a lovely addition. The weather didn’t spoil our stay and enjoyed the peace and quiet of this great location.

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

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!

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!

My parents stayed here for a week and we joined them for the weekend. The surroundings are beautiful and the cottage was comfy and a great place to explore from. Have recommended it to friends already!

Adrian could not have made our stay at his cottage any better. He was communicative and helpful. His lovely cottage was comfortable and provided us with the perfect base to explore the area as well as relax Thank you

We had a wonderful time at Alison’s place and Alison was so lovely and informative, letting us know all the good walks and things to do nearby! We can’t wait to come back to this peaceful gem in the trossachs and loved how close Nether Glenny is to Aberfoyle if we did need anything! Fantastic stay and host, can’t recommend enough! :)

I had a peaceful, relaxing stay at the Bothy. It’s in a beautiful, secluded spot with a secure garden—perfect for my dog. I loved the river walk to the Brig o’ Doon, beach walks nearby, and Rozelle Estate’s Remembrance Forest and Squirrel Nutkin Trail. Chris was a warm and welcoming host, with fresh scones on arrival and delicious on site honey for sale. The bed was very comfortable as everyone said, and linens and towels were spotless. The EV charger was easy to use and a big plus. A few areas could be cleaner on arrival—crumbs on the rug and dining table and some grit / moss at the back door. Minor DIY fixes, like a clamp on the shower door and bed frame, made it feel slightly unfinished. A skylight blind would help with early morning light, so bring an eye mask if you’re sensitive to it. Overall, a charming retreat with lots of potential and a lovely host. A few small improvements would really enhance the experience.

West Barravullin was kind of a small paradise. Beautiful cottage in a well kept forrest garden, fresh flowers from the garden in the cottage, wood stove at hand, everything for breakfast was already present. It made us feel very welcome. The dogs were also very welcome. Joanne had put covers over the sofa's, so dogs on the sofa were no problem. Since we had only one full day, she had nice tips for exploring the direct surroundings of Craignish. A wee dram on the evening before leaving finished it off . We will certainly come back for a longer stay.

Lovely little cottage in a great part of the world. Sweet and cosy sitting room for the evenings with lots of windows that look out over the garden and fields beyond.

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.

Joanne's place was a peaceful retreat for 2 people with beautiful views over to Arran. The accommodation was very well equipped in the kitchen and the double bed was very comfortable. The main bathroom was a good size too. It was nice to be off grid for a while and we felt benefits of quality downtime in the house. 10m away you have your perfect spot for a morning dip and within a short walk you have a small hotel with friendly locals for company.

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!

Beautiful cottage, warm and cosy. Bed extremely comfortable, we slept very well. The kitchen was very well equipped and we found everything we needed. Dot and Dougie were wonderful hosts, providing fresh baked scones and inquired if we were ok and had everything we needed. Beautiful gardens to gaze over while in the dining room. We will definitely visit again.

Great cottage on a working farm. Even Billy the dog and the other farm animals made us feel welcome. Not to forget the friendly hosts !

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!

Had a lovely three days at Rebecca's cottage with a cosy fire each evening. Easily accessible by car, tho remote. Close to Whiting Bay but not really walkable. There is a lovely patio to sit out on but unfortunately, the views were obstructed. Would recommend. Thank you Rebecca

This is just a wonderful place to spend some time! This is my second time staying on the farm and my first in this cottage. It’s really comfortable and the views are out of this world. It’s a real treat to be a fly on the wall at Hannah and her family’s working farm and it really gives you a sense of place that you’ll have a hard time finding anywhere else. Thanks for having me!
