Alt Ardoch is loctated between Lamlash and Whiting Bay on the Isle of Arran.

Alt Ardoch House has a wonderful elevated position with spectacular mountain and coastal views. This traditional Arran cottage has the best of both - old on the outside and modern on the inside; and it is enhanced by local artwork throughout.

With all the comforts of home and an accessible location, it is popular with both couples and families. There is also an attached holiday cottage for up to 4 guests which is completely separate but may be ideal for 2 families or larger groups to book together. Please follow this link for more info.

The house has a spacious living room with a cosy gas stove, deep carpets, comfy sofas and glorious sea views; a fully equipped kitchen with dining area and more lovely views; and a separate utility room and a cloakroom to the rear of the house.  On the first floor, there are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, all with sea views. The bedrooms are softly furnished with fine linen, high quality duvets and pillows to ensure a peaceful sleep. There is also a family bathroom with bath and shower, wc and wash-hand basin.

Outside, there are terraces to the front and rear gardens with seating; and a large lawn with fruit trees and herbaceous borders set within a backdrop of pine forests. The rear terrace is secluded and faces south, a perfect place to relax.  

There is a footpath a short distance from the house via Cuddy Dook and the public tennis courts to the beach and the village amenities of Lamlash.  If you are returning after dark though you will need a torch!  

There are some good quality restaurants nearby and we recommend the Glenisle Hotel, the Drift Inn, the Lamlash Bay Hotel in Lamlash and Felicity's at Bar Eden in Whiting Bay - all within easy reach by car or taxi*. The local stores are within 2 miles of the house where you can stock up on everyday essentials. The main village of Brodick offers a larger supermarket and there are excellent leisure and dining amenities.

The island has some award-winning places to visit including Brodick Castle, Country park and Gardens, Cladach Visitor Centre with the Island Cheese Shop, Creelers and Arran Aromatics, the Isle of Arran Distillery; and many craft and unique places to shop.  

If you are looking for an active break, there are numerous footpaths and cycle routes around the island, with circular walks to waterfalls and ancient sites for all the family, challenging ridge walks and climbs for the more experienced and easy coastal routes. You can try a new activity with experienced local guides, from sea kayaking to paragliding or improve your skills on a mountain bike session.  And for the golfers - there are seven courses around the island open to non-members. The nearest are Lamlash and Whiting Bay, open all year round and both offer friendly club facilities.    

The house is available for weekly bookings and short breaks out of the peak holiday periods or if there is late availability. The standard changeover day is Saturday.
