Welcome to Arran Island Cottages

A visit to Arran has thrilled generations of visitors with the variety and beauty of its landscape, the richness and diversity of its wildlife and the hospitality of its residents. The majestic Red Deer are often sighted on the hills and soft-eyed seals on the rocky shores and an evening stroll along a beach could lead to a glimpse of a secretive otter or a fly-past by a squadron of shrilling oyster catchers, whilst the rare Hen Harrier and even rarer Golden Eagle patrol their hunting grounds on the moors . Out at sea one may occasionally notice a passing school of dolphins or porpoises or even a occasional basking shark.

Charles Fforde and his wife Linda are proud to present a portfolio of estate properties to make the most of your holiday. Carefully renovated and tastefully decorated, you will be sure to find the ideal luxury base for your holiday, whether a romantic break for two, a family reunion or activity holiday for 20 (or more). Let us provide the luxurious comfort of a “home of your own” for your stay. We offer a uniquely wide choice of self catering accommodation, both in size and location, to help you make the most of your Arran experience.

In addition, we are able to arrange a wildlife safari or, depending upon availability, a day’s deer watching or stalking.

The Taste of Arran is widely renowned. Why not try the wealth of locally produced food and drink, including high quality local beef, lamb, seafood, cheeses, oatcakes and chocolates during your stay?
