The Cottage
Three bedrooms, an open fire, a library with a glen view, and the beach at the end of the garden.
A home that breathes the island
Woodside is a traditional Scottish cottage steeped in family history — in continuous use by the same family since 1957. It sits at the very foot of Glen Sannox, one of Arran's most dramatic glens, with the mountains rising directly behind and the beach just steps from the garden gate.
The entire cottage and grounds are available exclusively for your party. No shared facilities, no other guests — just you and Woodside.
Centrally heated throughout with plentiful hot water. Excellent drying facilities for wet and muddy walking kit. Dogs welcome by prior arrangement.
