Kilbride Cottage – “A Little Gem”
Situated in a very peaceful location amidst idyllic countryside, Kilbride was previously a farm cottage built around the late 1880/1890’s. It has been renovated to a high standard in keeping with the original character – has it’s own garden from which, to the west, can be seen the Argyll peninsular and to the south, Ailsa Craig and beyond.All on one level the cottage has a fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar and additional eating area, a double bedroom, a twin bedroom and an additional double futon in the lounge (if necessary). The cosy lounge also boasts an open fire for the chillier evenings, or just to sit and watch the flames flickering in the dark! It is ideal for pet owners as there is a very scenic forestry walk, crossing the island to Whiting Bay and Lamlash, just a stone’s throw away!Weekly and longer breaks available, short breaks catered for too!Owner managed, weekly breaks starting at £250, inclusive of electricity and bed linen.A little taster of what you can do and see when you get here ……·Kilmory boasts a beautiful sandy beach with long stretches of clean sand – ideal for those long, lazy summer days! (Just turn left at the next roadend past the Creamery)·At the Creamery itself you can watch the cheese being made, and there is a small shop where basic supplies can be purchased – don’t forget the cheese too! ·Approx. 1 ½ miles away lies the picturesque hamlet of Lagg, where the local hotel can be found.

Paintings, cards, and spinning by local artist Roslyn Gibson are tucked away nearby at Glenside, just up the forestry track. All well worth a visit!·A little further afield there are 7 golf courses to be conquered, all different and all challenging in their own way, Tennis Courts and Bowling Greens dotted about the island too!Try your hand at Paragliding, Pony Trekking or negotiating the “ups and downs” cycling.·Visit the Holy Isle In Lamlash, or take a rib tour round Ailsa Craig or Pladda and feel the sea air in you hair – exhilarating!!Arran is renowned for its walks and wildlife!·From …. Goatfell to the Witches Step, The King’s caves to the Standing Stones at Machrie. Take in Eas Mor waterfall and continue inland to Loch Garbad – so peaceful you could hear a pin drop!
