Until we can safely open communal areas, we have leaflets and information on display in our little barn windows (opposite The Ben). Alternatively pop to the 'Visit Arran' hub on the ferry to find out lots about what our island has to offer. The Coig app is a fantastic tool as Arran is one of five Ayrshire & Clyde islands routes for driving, walking and cycling. The Banner, our very informative local paper, is a very useful buy to keep you updated on what is happening.

Foodies and shoppers will also love the range of artisan products Arran has to offer. Around the island there is something for everyone.

Located in the Shiskine Valley, 3 miles from Blackwaterfoot, there are plenty of local options if you plan on staying nearby.
