Some of our recent reviews. Feeling very grateful for such positive feedback - thank you everyone! 😍 www.arranlets.com/reviews #Scotland #Arran #Travel

Recent reviews for Clyde House Arran Holiday Let...

February 14–20 • 6 nights • ★5
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious, with beautiful views across the Clyde that are enchanting at any time of day and in any weather. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped, and the three bedrooms are all a good size. This is genuinely one of the best Airbnbs we've stayed in. There's a dedicated parking space, and a bus stop is only a five-minute walk away. We'd absolutely recommend James's place — great value for money.
March 20–27 • 7 nights • ★5
The bungalow is such a lovely space. It is beautifully decorated with a lovely lived in, but uncluttered feel. The views from the house are stunning.
April 3–10 • 7 nights • ★5
We loved our stay. The house has lots of space. Our particular favourite space was the sun room, we enjoyed the view of the sea usually sitting with a glass of wine in the evening. Whiting Bay is a lovely quiet place and the house is a short walk to the beach. We ate at both the Shurig and simply Thai which are both easily walkable from the house. Lamlash is a short drive away where there are a few more places to eat. The location was peaceful and our children absolutely loved it. Would recommend.
April 11–17 • 6 nights • ★5
Beautiful home from home, comfortable, spotlessly clean, thoughtfully eqipped, spectacular views and binoculars provided! We hope to come back. Thank you, James and Marie.
May 2–8 • 6 nights • ★5
What a wonderful home. Comfortable, a well stocked kitchen, very clean and stunning views. The library full of books and games for all ages was a welcome surprise. We had such a peaceful and fun time here. It felt like a well cared for and loved home and it was very easy to settle in for the week.
Host was really helpful whenever we reached out.
Thank you for a lovely holiday.

The Iron Age fort at Glenashdale in particular could be greatly improved. This is currently completely surrounded by commercial forestry. The site should have clear views across to the falls which must have been relevant to the sitting.

There are some great local food options too if you'd rather avoid the coop. I'd happily live on cheese if I could 🤣 www.arransfoodjourney.com

Arran’s Food Journey is a celebration of all thing’s food and drink from Scotland’s Food Isle. Arran’s food and drink producers have come together to improve the way we work and the experience we offer to our visitors and community

This is the place to start a journey where you can immerse yourself in the growing, making and enjoying of Arran’s food and drink product from farm to fork.

Together we tell Arran’s food story from historical tales of farming, illicit stills and Whisky smugglers to the modern-day production of Arran Ice Cream, Arran Cheese and artisan bakers.

After the learning comes the enjoying so visit Arran to find out for yourself. Its villages offer a wide range of places to enjoy its food from cafés and takeaway’s, cook at home delivery to high end dining. We’ve pubs and bars where you can sample Arran’s beers, Whisky and Gin too. And if you can’t make it here just now, we’ve added a few Arran recipes for you to try at home.

Arran has (rightly 😉) been included in this year's top 20 destinations to visit in 2026. www.thenational.scot/news/2576506...

Isle of Arran
Rank: 16th

Isle of Arran is famed for The Arran Malt whisky distillery, which is one of the potential highlights for visitors who fancy a tour.

Other options which cemented its inclusion on the list included Brodick Castle which is "packed to the gills" with antiques.

The Machrie Moor stone circles should also make for a "mystical field trip".

Meanwhile, Visit Arran shares that guests will "get lost in the character" of the island.

It adds: "As you approach the iconic silhouette of Arran, with Goatfell's jagged lines dominating the sky (if the clouds lift to let you have a preview), you will instantly relax and start to get into the way of 'island life' for your stay here."

Today's contribution to Standing Stone Sunday - two small stones on a promentary to the south of Whiting Bay. Known locally as the Sailors' Graves. Holy Isle in the background. Part of the amazing Arran Coastal Way (which I really must get round to completing). #StandingStoneSunday #Arran

Two upright standing stones in the foreground - the nearest one shows deep channels where water has worn away the red sandstone. Both are heavily covered with lichen. You can see the sea behind the stones and Holy Island in the distance. The sky at the top of the photo is bright blue with a large cloud behind Holy Isle glowing yellow/orange in the afternoon sun. It's a bright but cold day and I was very lightly snowed on while walking down the coast to get here.

This is one of a few standing stones in Brodick (this is in the grounds of the castle). I always wonder about the significance of this group being on the other side of the island along a valley that leads to the better known Machrie stones. #standingstonesunday #arran #prehistory #scotland
