Here are some of our favourite places in Arran...
Places to eat:
Kildonan hotel - great dinners, and perfect for Sunday brunch.
Cafe Thyme (Machrie) - brilliant pides (Turkish pizzas) and lovely spot with large playground for kids.
Most at Eden Lodge (Whiting Bay) - fabulous meals and lots of choices of gins!
The Parlour (Brodick) - perfect for ice cream and treats
Trips / Adventures:
Holy Isle - boat across from Lamlash - beautiful, calm, spiritual spot for a walk or just to relax.
Kayak Arran - will take you kayaking directly from the house / short walk along the beach, depending on weather.
Arran Adventures - a wide range of activities available, based at Auchrannie.
Auchrannie resort - you can use the pool, leisure centre, soft play and spa. The leisure centre is ideal for a rainy day!
Brodick Castle - the castle itself is really interesting, but it also has a great cafe, and a brilliant adventure playground.
Eas Mor - fabulous walk in Kildonan, taking in a waterfall, loch, library - and stunning views.
The Visit Arran website has a wealth of information on the island. Well worth a look before you arrive!
