Area

The cottage is situated in a quiet position, in the relaxed, coastal village of Lamlash, lying on the eastern aspect of the Isle of Arran, a popular island off the west coast of Scotland. The village has two hotels (The Glenisle & Lamlash Bay Hotel), two pubs (The Pierhead Tavern (PHT) & The Drift Inn), a local church, a newsagents, a chemist, a medical centre, the only hospital on the island and a Co-op.

Brodick, Arran’s main town, has two larger Co-op supermarkets and a full range of professional services. Brodick is the port from which regular sailings, serviced by Caledonian MacBrayne, lead to the mainland at Ardrossan throughout the day. Commuters and travellers now benefit from Road Equivalent Tarrif (RET) ferry fares, which are substantially lower than before. Ardrossan has a main line rail station, with trains to Glasgow that connect with the ferry times, and is approximately 30 miles from Glasgow City Centre. Prestwick International Airport is 16 miles to the south of Ardrossan, with Glasgow International Airport 24 miles east of Ardrossan.

The primary school, nursery and only high school and gym campus are situated within a short level walk and further primary schooling is available in Corrie, Brodick and Whiting Bay. A frequent bus service runs around and across the island and, at Lochranza, there is the ferry terminus that allows quick access to the stunning West of Scotland via Claonaig. Kintyre here we come!
