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.

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.

Booked this last minute for my friends birthday and we are so glad we did!. Place was spotless and the host is so friendly she made us feel at home☺️ will definitely be back this is my second time here . Love it

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!

Fantastic - the home was much better than described and bigger than it looked in the photos, and as for the views - breathtaking! Clare was so helpful with offering advice on where to eat and where to visit. The house had everything you could ask for and much more - the kitchen had everything you could need and the bedrooms even had bathrobes, slippers and extra towels for the hot tub. I really can’t recommend this enough - we will definitely return.

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

The property is beautifully decorated and furnished to a high standard. It's evident from the minute you enter that a lot of time, effort and expense has been exercised. It has a really luxurious feel but at the same time remains homely. Very comfortable, immaculately clean and set within idyllic surroundings. Lots of high end extra's such as blue tooth shower speakers and wireless charging pads. The shower is fabulous and the outdoor tub is just out of the World. I loved it and had a long bath most nights during our stay. Dogs are clearly welcome here and they loved it too with plenty of surrounding walks. Finding something as luxurious as it is pet friendly is a real rarity. The hosts Donna and Phil are both very personable and welcoming hosts. Will recommend to all without hesitation. Hope to return as it's the perfect place to relax and recharge for couples or solo travellers.

What a wonderful 5 nights we've just spent at Ballochroy Cottage, I just wish we were staying for longer! The views are simply spectacular and breakfast on the shore was a definite highlight of our stay. The cottage is extremely comfortable, with everything we needed. The bedroom is a very relaxing space with such a comfy bed, bedlinen and duvet that I'm going to get the same for home. The bathroom is a good size with a great shower. We loved coming back to the log burning stove in the evenings. For everything we wanted to do and see, the location was perfect. Karen and Colin were on hand if needed and were really helpful and friendly. We must recommend visiting Gigha and eating at The Boathouse. On a clear day there are stunning views to be had from the top of the highest point on the island. Behind the cottage are 3 standing stones we enjoyed walking to before breakfast one day. There are lots of places of historical interest to see and great spots for wildlife spotting. Fabulous!

We had an excellent stay in Sue's well-appointed, comfortable and cosy accommodation. We loved the view from the dining table! Nothing is very far from anywhere on Arran and Pirnhill proved to be a good base. Sue was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended.

Super cottage, perfect for enabling a wonderful stay on Arran. Easy access to both the mainland and all that Arran affords. The cottage was full of character and charm and was perfect for us and our 2 dogs. It had everything we could possibly need, was extremely clean and well equipped.

I had a fantastic stay at the wee cottage! It’s a beautiful location with stunning views. The cottage itself was cozy and comfortable and felt like home away from home.

We felt very much at home in this cosy, lovingly decorated cottage. Every practical need was taken care of, the heating system worked perfectly. We liked our meals at the big kitchen table and the quaint staircase leading up to the bedroom and bathroom. Personally, I found it hard to sleep because the mattress was worn out and very uncomfortable

Fabulous location looking out towards Isle of Arran and beyond. Easy access to coast and ports for taking ferry rides to Cumbrae and Bute. Friendly host. Very quiet at night. Cottage well laid out and spacious and enclosed garden for the dogs. Everyone happy!

The little cottage is truly a place to feel good! We stayed with our two children (6 and 9 years) and everyone felt right at home! Everything is so pretty and friendly! And of course the best is the stunning view of the water - and into the pretty garden! In spring a sea of flowers! We were very sorry to only be there for a night! Thanks so much Dora & John!

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.

Beautiful cottage which has been really thoughtfully designed. For a family of four it was perfect and the scenery is beyond breathtaking.

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.

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

Heather's place in Tighnabruaich was perfect for our long weekend exploring the Argyll. The cottage was warm, cosy and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I would definitely recommend staying here.

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.

Perfect location. The house was very comfortable with lots of thought given to amenities and interior decoration. There was a welcome basket with bread eggs and juice and milk in fridge which was very thoughtful. Can recommend.
