Very comfortable lodge which is well equipped. Ideal for 4 people with a double and a twin room. Kris was very good at communicating and we enjoyed our stay a lot. Fascinated by the robot mowers which cut the grass on the site. It's well situated for access to Blackwaterfoot which is only a 15 minute walk away. Would recommend.

What a wonderful place

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful place. The whole island is spectacular, Blackwaterfoot and Mcaras View are a perfect, quiet corner of the island. The lodge itself was perfect for the four of us as a base for a few days (which wasn't long enough, but we'll be back!)

Perfect chalet for us and our 2 granddaughters.

Lovely experience from beginning to end. The chalet had everything we could possibly want and having an ensuite and a separate bathroom was a bonus.Kris was a delightful host who was extremely helpful at all times. Particularly when there was no water at our end of the island!Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

We had a fabulous stay at the lodge. So peaceful and well appointed. The interior is so tasteful and comfortable, and has everything you need. We enjoyed watching a variety of wildlife whilst relaxing on the deck. Kris was a great host and we will be back!

Property was as described and was situated in such a peaceful area. Everything we needed was in the chalet. It was warm and comfortable and so easy to access other parts of the island. We had not stayed in this area before and thoroughly enjoyed it. A 20 minute walk took us to the Kinloch hotel for a superb evening meal. Wildlife in the grounds of the chalet was great. Loved the red squirrels and hares in the morning. Could not have asked for better.

A home from home

The title describes everything. Very well appointed, warm and welcoming. The perfect quiet retreat to come back to after a day spent exploring. One of the features of Arran is its wildlife and the lodge has cheeky inquisitive red squirrels all around. A treat of a retreat!

Lodge had everything we needed for perfect stay, great views. Managed to see the red squirrel & the Highland cows at the bottom of the drive. Kris was great, allowed us to check in earlier as we got an early boat. Everything spotless & tidy. Recommend to everyone if you need a place to stay

A home away from home. Our second stay at this fantastic lodge within 3 months. Our first trip was as a family with 3 young children and the most recent trip with my father and sister. Everything you could need ever need inside and outside from children’s colouring and games to condiments to views of the sea and the most beautiful starry nights. A welcome bottle of wine and chocolate on arrival and Kris was a fantastic host. Thank you very much, hopefully we will be back again very soon
