Mont Stewart Cottage

Mont Stewart Cottage works well for small families or groups looking for a self-contained base on Arran's east coast. The semi-detached property has two bedrooms—a double and two singles—with a bathroom and separate shower room, giving guests their own space to spread out. Ground-floor living areas include a sitting room with smart TV and DVD player, a dining room, and a kitchen equipped for proper cooking, with electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. Original features like exposed beams sit alongside the modern comforts that make self-catering practical.

The cottage sits in Whiting Bay itself, where a beach of sand and pebbles is within walking distance, along with shops, bars and restaurants. One car can park on site. Front and rear gardens provide outdoor space—the back garden is lawned with seating and a barbecue. One dog is welcome. Electricity, gas, wi-fi, bed linen and towels are all included; a travel cot and highchair are available. The property is not suitable for smokers. Note that the internal stairs are steep and narrow.
