Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Lochranza, Scottish Islands

This quaint cottage sleeps four guests in two bedrooms plus four canine companions and is perfect for outdoorsy families or couples – with everything from leisurely strolls to serious hikes on offer. Foodies can taste their way around the island, from creamy cheeses to delicious ice cream, whilst wildlife enthusiasts can spend hours spotting the abundance of wildlife. After a busy day exploring, return happily weary to warm your toes against the Aga.

Sympathetically renovated, step inside this little cottage to find rustic charm blending effortlessly with modern comforts. Cream walls and wooden floors in parts are complemented by traditional furnishings and splashes of colour in the artwork creating a warm and welcoming home from home. Discard your wellies in the porch, before heading through to the bright kitchen/diner to prepare yourself a delicious meal.

Gather everyone together at the table, the perfect spot to enjoy family meals with views over the bay. Relax on the comfortable sofas in the charming living room, reading a good book or watching a movie as your pup snoozes in front of the roaring open fire. Upstairs, the two double bedrooms are light and airy with space for a camp bed or cot if requested.

With skylights above the beds, settle for a restful night’s sleep gazing at the stars in the dark skies. Wake with a stroll to Lochranza Castle, breathing in the salty, sea air and sipping a coffee as you potter along the pebbled shores. Venturing outside, the pretty garden is backed by lush hillside and has a seating area and a BBQ perfect for al fresco dining.

Spend lazy evenings with a wee dram and relaxed afternoons as the kids and pups scamper and play on the lawn. There is on-road parking in front of the property and a restaurant 1 mile away, the perfect end to a busy day.
