Alt Ardoch House

Alt Ardoch House overlooks Lamlash Bay from an elevated position on the Isle of Arran, with the Holy Isle visible across the water. The property sleeps six across four bedrooms—two doubles and two singles—and has two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a sitting room with Freeview TV. Essentials like heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are included; there is parking for two cars on site. One dog can stay without extra charge, though the house is non-smoking.

The location suits walkers and cyclists, with pine forests nearby offering marked trails and the dramatic Glenashdale Falls a short drive away. Lamlash village itself is active year-round, with a working pier, restaurants, galleries and a golf course. The Holy Isle lies a short ferry ride offshore, home to a Buddhist community where goats and ponies graze. The bay itself attracts seals, otters and sea birds, and visitors can arrange kayaking or boat trips to explore further. Whiting Bay, a couple of miles south, has independent shops and a more low-key feel. The sitting-out area has garden furniture positioned to catch the views, and the kitchen is set up for proper cooking rather than holiday basics.
