With stunning views over Whiting Bay, Gowanhill is the ideal property for friends and family alike to enjoy a fantastic island escape. Situated in the village of Whiting Bay with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere and a useful range of small independent shops.

A family-friendly forestry trail leads to the spectacular Glenashdale Falls and the prehistoric Giant’s Graves.

For refreshments, the local cafés offer a vibrant spots for morning coffee and a tasty bite. There is a local bar at Eden Lodge is in walking distance. The nearby village of Lamlash provides safe anchorage for visiting yachts and the pier is a hub of activity.

A ferry can be taken from Lochranza to Claonaig to explore the Kintyre Peninsula.

House could do with decorating and slow to warm up on the frosty morning.

House could do with decorating and slow to warm up on the frosty morning. A great family and dog venue. The views are amazing and we loved watching the antics of the red squirrel. Had fun in the games room. Would definitely book again
