We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Rosa cottage. Such a lovely place to stay and easy to access anywhere on the island. The cottage is well equipped and really quiet. Lovely garden to sit out in, We loved it and hope to return in the future 😁

Would Recommend: Yes

6th May 2025:

We booked two of the cottages for a group trip, and had the most amazing long weekend at Hamilton Cottages. Incredibly well-equipped, so self-catering was a breeze, and we loved the mini-library and games in the cottages. Extra points for the barbecues, games room, beautiful views straight out the window, and cute lambs right over the wall! Ideal location for getting around Arran, so perfect for people who want to explore the whole island.

Fresh eggs from Fiona and Matt's hens are a must! The bakery in Blackwaterfoot was a big hit, and the sunset from the Kinloch Hotel was second to none - and great food to boot.

We discovered this gem on Google Maps and it exceeded all our expectations! The accommodation is modern, immaculately clean and finished with great attention to detail. The views are absolutely stunning and the location couldn’t be better. Just a short distance from King’s Cave, Machrie Moor standing stones, lovely hiking trails and a beautiful beach. Fiona, the owner gave us a warm welcome and was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. A truly wonderful place to stay on Arran - highly recommended!

Rosa Cottage was perfect for our Xmas trip to Arran, clean, comfortable & cosy, the cottage has a really calm, relaxing atmosphere, just what you need after day exploring

Dont forget to use the Games Room, a great asset away from phones & TV

Would Recommend: Yes

4th November 2024:

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cottage with us. Everything was absolutely fabulous, the rooms were beautifully fitted and furnished to a really high standard and the location was fabulous for an Island visit. We cannot recommend you highly enough. And the freerange eggs a huge bonus. Everything was perfect!

The cottage is absolutely fabulous, but it is rural. We cooked ourselves a couple of nights (the coop opposite the ferry terminal was great for a weekly shop) and went out to a couple of pubs (The Corrie and the Drift Inn). Would recommend the distillery tour (and obviously some whisky to take home) and a trip to Aaran cheese and Arran aromatics! Be sure to pick up a 20% off voucher for Aaron aromatics, we found one in the Corrie hotel reception! If you are up for a climb go to Goat Fell, whilst its only 5 miles, its a steep climb, but the views are stunning on a clear day!

Would Recommend: Yes

28th October 2024:

One of the most well thought out and equipped cottages we've ever stayed in. Just brilliant, and Matt's tips and helpfulness was second to none.

Super spot, super clean, and super well equipped. Great to have bike storage / cleaning facilities too. HIghly recommended.

Would Recommend: Yes

6th October 2024:

We had an amazing stay - the cottage was absolutely spotless, the kitchen brilliantly appointed and living areas lovely and spacious for the 5 of us. Outdoor space really well maintained too, and the games room was an enjoyable addition. Communication via the online chat was really clear and timely from Fiona. Overall a fantastic property and we would love to book again. Thanks so much

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for great review, glad you enjoyed your stay! Do you have some ideas of what we could add to get us to 5 stars for facilities? Fiona and Matt :-)

Lovely clean and well equipped cottage.

Look out for the red squirrels in the garden, a real treat.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th August 2024:

Lovely cottage. Really nicely decorated and furnished - simple but modern, comfortable and cosy. Friendly owners. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd August 2024:

We rented all three cottages for a family holiday. So I can confirm that the standard of the cottages are all the same.....excellent. Everything you need is there, from kitchen utensils to books to read and family games to play. The separate games room was fab for the wee kids and the big kids Fiona and Matt were very welcoming and approachable. They live beside the cottages and were often out and about in the grounds but always stopped to chat and helped us with any queries we had. Looking forward to coming back Fiona/Matt and see how the pool is getting on and hope your idea of a wood burning sauna works out.

If bring a dog take a long lead as all dogs must be on a lead at all times and can not let off the lead for rhe safety of the hens and sheep. Make sure when looking for kitchen equipment you find the wee "secret drawer" in the top drawers in the kitchens....we missed this at first then found them.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th July 2024:

Super accomodation. Well fitted out ,clean and well maintained. Fiona and Matt are great hosts.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th June 2024:

The cottage was perfect. We had a lovely time. It is very well organised and there is everything you need in the kitchen. It is lovely having Arran Aromatics handwashing and great to have cleaning and laundry things to hand. We played table tennis which was a bonus. Saw a red squirrel every morning too and fun to see the chickens wandering around.

Set in a quiet village not far from the beach at Blackwaterfoot. Lots of places to eat out but easy to pick up supplies and eat in. Great for golf as just nearby. Roads very quiet and easy drive from the ferry. If you have not been, it’s worth going to the Lagg Distillery or Lochranza Distillery. Lots of lovely beaches on both sides of the island.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th June 2024:

We really enjoyed our week at Rosa Cottage it was the perfect base to explore the lovely island of Arran. The kitchen was clean and well equipped and the living area was cosy and comfortable. Having two bathrooms was really useful and there were lovely views from all the windows. We had the added bonus of seeing red squirrels in the garden too.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank You for your review, we're glad you had a lovely holiday and the squirrels were out to entertain!

23rd June 2024:

Had a fantastic week at Hamilton Cottages. Superb location for exploring the Island. Set in lovely small village, overlooking fields and hillsides - beautiful spot. We stayed in Shurig cottage which was very clean, comfortable and tidy. All mod cons and then some, with coffee machine - with supplied pods, dishwasher and laundry services available.TV with access to your streaming services. A really cosy and comfortable sitting area. Bedrooms comfortable and well appointed. Whole cottage decorated to a very high standard. Easy commute to local shops in Blackwaterfoot or a little further to Brodick. Of the owners, only had the pleasure of meeting Matt, who was welcoming and friendly. Overall a cracking stay in a beautiful location. Thoroughly recommend to others.

No shop in village itself. Have to travel to nearby Blackwaterfoot or Brodick which is no hardship.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th June 2024:

Just perfect and in such a lovely spot. We stayed in the Shurig which was immaculate, modern, homely, filled with everything you need with some extra goodies, Fiona and Matt left for us. Fiona dealt with us on arrival, she is lovely, so pleasant and accommodating. The main house is at the back of the cottages but they leave you too it unless you need them. Gardens are amazing, with benches and bbq. there’s woodland at the back of the cottages for walking the dog, the beach, hotel, deli and shop are just a 2 minute drive from cottage. Machrie moor and Kings Caves very near which was a bonus. Looking forward to booking again. Arlene and John

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your lovely review!

1st October 2023:

Lovely place to stay, warm and cosy and excellent facilities. Beds were very comfortable and great to have a relaxing bath after a good walk. The red squirrels were very entertaining and views beautiful.

Arran is a lovely island and both our host and the people we met along our walks were lovely. We particularly enjoyed a visit to Lochranza, Glenashdale Falls and Glen Rosa.

Would Recommend: Yes

thank You Brenda, we're glad the squirrels were putting on a good display during your stay!

24th September 2023:

I’ve been holidaying at Hamilton Cottages for a good number of years now, the best accommodation we’ve ever had on the island, perfect location, tastefully and well equipped throughout in very peaceful surroundings, love it very much. Also very friendly and helpful hosts in Fiona and Matt.

I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless you have transport.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th September 2023:

Sri relaxing and enjoyable that we look forward to our return every year

Would Recommend: Yes

11th September 2023:

Just back from a stay in Ashdale cottage. It is a superb cottage in a lovely peaceful setting. Spotlessly clean and well furnished. Loved the welcoming touches, outside seating area and all the resident wildlife. The cottages are well located for getting around all parts of the island. Fiona & Matt are great hosts and we were impressed with the eco-friendliness of the cottage. We will definitely recommend to others and would book to stay again.

Try the freshly laid free range eggs supplied by Fiona & Matts chickens, they are lovely.

Would Recommend: Yes

10th September 2023:

Cosy cottage with everything you need in a great location to discover the island and friendly hosts to boot.

Lots of great walks to discover but my favouite is The King's caves from the car park and then through the forest for a thoroughly enjoyable round trip - 2 hrs.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Kings caves is a favourite of ours too!

4th September 2023:

Had another great week on Arran. The cottage has everything you could every need and is a great base for travelling around the island. Will miss my morning run to Blackwaterfoot. Thankyou :)

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd September 2023:

Spacious, clean and perfect for a family with 3 young children and a dog. Kids loved the chickens and the play room. We would love to go back, my 3 year old son hasn't stopped talking about it.

- Well equipped kitchen, one of the few places weve stayed at that has everything you need! - bakers and butchers in blackwaterfoot down the road are both really good - bring mozzie spray!

Would Recommend: Yes

1st September 2023:

The cottages are really nicely styled lots of attention to detail and tasteful. The fudge and smellies all lovely , the outlook from the garden is beautiful with a little brook running nearby if you want to escape the mad frantic world I would recommend both Hamilton cottages and Arran

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd July 2023:

The cottage was comfortable, spotlessly clean and very well equipped and in a beautiful location, with amazing views from the garden. The owners were on hand if we needed them. I can’t think of any improvements, and would highly recommend this lovely holiday cottage.

Leave the car and use the buses. They go to most of the places of interest and work well if you plan to the timetable. We also loved the informal music evening which takes place on Fridays at the Ormidale Centre in Brodick.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd July 2023:

Hamilton cottages is a great wee place too stay, super clean and modern yet cosy - had everything you would need facilities wise and more for a stay in Arran, scenery was beautiful watching red squirrels with a backdrop of Arran mountains, we had a great week and would defo come back to stay.

Well appointed cottages, really well planned and great facilities. Best knifes I've ever come across at a self-catering place. Has everything you need including brand new BBQs and a laundry. Highly recommended.

Rosa perfect for four, one double bed and two singles. Blackwaterfoot just down the road with a great beach and food at the golf club. Would happily stay here again.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th June 2023:

We had a fantastic stay in Shruig cottage. Beautifully decorated with everything we needed and a few extra special touches too. A fantastic base to explore the island and also a beautiful setting for coffee in the garden and wanders with the dog. A perfect location for our first family holiday with our 6month old twins. We will definitely be back!

Wild swimming at Shiskine beach near the golf club. The beer garden at Kinloch Hotel is superb, they even do fish and chips! The gin shack for cocktails on the beach. The wineports seafood platter for lunch. Mara for langoustines and fish tacos! Distillery visits, walks, ice cream at the parlour. Take a drive around the whole island. We had the best week on Arran and we cannot wait to come back.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th June 2023:

We had the most amazing stay at Hamilton cottages! Everything about it was perfect, the cottage was beautiful and had everything we needed for the week. It felt like home away from home. We got married on the island during our stay and Fiona and Matt were so accommodating of everything this involved. Thank you for being a part of making our trip to Arran so brilliant!

Would Recommend: Yes

28th May 2023:

5th time holidaying here.. this stay was (again) great, as expected. Facilities as good as ever. Cottage had been re-decorated and updated - excellent. Fiona and Matt do a great job.

Would Recommend: Yes

28th May 2023:

Lovely clean and comfortable cottage with everything you need and the added bonus of being dog friendly.

Only tip would be that ideally you need a car. I would not recommend walking on the roads. There is a bus stop near by.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi Julie, we're glad you liked the cottage and had a nice holiday! Regarding our location, whilst we are not in the main towns we see this as an advantage as we have a peaceful valley outlook surrounded by wildlife. We strive to be as accurate as possible on our website and other booking platforms about where we are and we are centrally located for all the islands attractions and popular walks but we understand and acknowledge that different guests have different preferences when it comes to the ideal location for their stay. Thank you again for staying with us! Kind regards, Fiona and Matt

27th May 2023:

Absolutely beautiful, well maintained, comfortable cottages. The personal touches and decor made it feel like a home from home.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th May 2023:

Rosa cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped with Arran toiletries and all the kitchen equipment needed. The walled garden at the rear of the cottages is lovely and watching the roaming hens was fun! The cottage is a short drive from Blackwaterfoot which has a bakery, general store and small hotel.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rosa cottage.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd May 2023:

Cottage very comfortable and equipped to a very high standard. Ideal countryside location and peaceful setting.

Recommend using the Arran Dairies, fresh milk vending machine facility just down the road in Blackwaterfoot.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th May 2023:

Provided everything we needed for our stay, location was perfect and central on Arran allowing us to visit the rest of the island easily, extremely peaceful and although we didn't have kids with us I'm sure the games room would keep them entertained on the occasional wet day.

Ate at Kinloch hotel perfectly adequate and reasonable, although butcher and Post office in Blackwaterfoot were well stocked for a more self sustained week, baker was worth a visit, join the queue after 11 am first come first served.

Would Recommend: Yes

13th May 2023:

We have holidayed @Hamilton Cottages over a long period since the current operator’s father completed the development/conversion of the former hotel to fabulous holiday cottages everybody will thoroughly enjoy. All the fittings and equipment are top class. The surroundings are so beautiful and peaceful, just heaven.

There is a wee guide book listing loads of walks on Arran short and long with easy to challenging degrees of skill and ability required. Nearby Blackwaterfoot has a swish hotel and Shiskine Golf course, nationally respected, is a must play for golfers.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th May 2023:

We are repeat visitors to Arran and this is the first time we haven’t stayed in one of the main areas on the coast. I am so glad we did! This place was gorgeous, such good value for money and perfectly positioned to see everything easily. The cottage was fresh and new and so homely. Waking up to the sound of birds and lambs in the morning was a tonic. Great facilities, lovely owners, beautiful location. Perfect for a few families travelling together.

Get to the bakery early and there is some lovely stuff. Buy local where you can. The butchers are awesome. Don’t dog out of your way to Kildonan as it has sadly gone very downhill.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd April 2023:

The cottage was spotlessly clean, spacious but cozy and had everything we needed. We had a great time - thank you!

Would Recommend: Yes

4th January 2023:

This is an excellent cottage and the location is top notch. All parts of the island are within easy reach. It is an extremely cosy and welcoming cottage and this is the second year we have stayed there over the Festive period. It is extremely well appointed with everything you could require. Fiona and Matt are brilliant hosts.

Kinloch Hotel is very good, as are the restaurants at Auchrannie. Little Rock in Brodick is also excellent. The Bakehouse in Blackwaterfoot is outstanding!

Would Recommend: Yes

4th November 2022:

A really excellent stay. The cottage is very comfortable and equipped with everything one could need. Surroundings were beautiful. Suited us perfectly.

The Thyme Cafe is great for lunch. As is the Little Rock Cafe in Brodick.

Great cottage for the 3 of us. Met Matt but unsure if we met fiona as not introduced but we think we did on final day. Issues in cottage fixed instantly. Hunted high and low for veg peeler but think it was hiding. Coffee machine nice touch just need to know pod type before arrival. Great lounge, tv, dining area. Great size for a family.

As we had the dog we didn't eat main meals out. Some allowed dogs some didn't. Coffee pot in whiting Bay did not and not many shops did. Visited King's caves, giants graves, Glen Rosa, waterfalls and iron age Fort, Only 4 garages. Fill up before getting on ferry. Not all sold petrol. £170.9 on 29th Oct.

second stay for us. Dog-friendly, everything in good order and the Cottage upgraded with new chairs!

Kings Caves walk, go clockwise, and a shorter round route can be found around the little loch look for the path on the right when you see the loch. Lovely walk along the river up the glen from the bridge at Catacol. Mara fish bar at Corrie is excellent Cafe Thyme past Machrie is good Take good quality waterproofs if rain forecast

Would Recommend: Yes

16th September 2022:

We really really enjoyed our stay here.An excellent base to explore the island. The accommodation was immaculate and scrupulously clean, and well equipped. Lots of nice little touches which made it feel much like a home from home. we would thoroughly recommend Hamilton cottages for anyone who was wanting a self-catering break on Arran. Many Thanks.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th August 2022:

Really lovely cottage - had everything we needed, including lovely outdoor space. We even bought fresh eggs on-site from the chickens roaming around & we used the local milk vending machines too! There was room to store bikes & our bike rack. Excellent laundry & drying facility. Cottage was super clean & beautifully decorated. I would absolutely book again - but for longer next time!

If you love outdoors, there is SO much to do - there is a gorgeous walk from the cottage - have a look in the Walking on Arran book that is in the cottage - 6 miles through forests, with amazing views. The walk up Glen Rosa to The Saddle is also gorgeous - you can get up Goat Fell from there too (but not with a dog - some of the climbs up to North Goat Fell are too severe - I had to turn back with my dog). The walk up Goat Fell from Brodick Brewery is very well marked & you can get a dog up that route easily. Paddle-boarding in Brodick Bay was fabulous - I have my own board, but you can hire from the outdoors shop in Brodick. We had one rainy day during our week so we went to the Lochranza distillery - well worth a visit & the whiskey is super smooth.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th August 2022:

Have holidayed on Arran for the last 17 years This was our first stay in Ashdale Cottage and we were not disappointed We were impressed with the standard of this modern well presented accommodation Great location and pleasant surroundings /outlook Games room a bonus for children and adults The only compromise is having to share the laundry room with the other cottages if needed This has not put us off as we have booked again for next year Thanks Fiona and Matt See you next year 😀

Would Recommend: Yes

26th June 2022:

The accommodation in Ashdale Cottage was really spacious and comfortable, a real home from home. It was spotlessly clean and well equipped. One of the best self catering properties we have stayed in. We stayed with our 3 year old and it was perfect for her with the garden space, woodland to explore and friendly chickens. There was also a games room which kept her entertained and a laundry area which was really useful. The location was great with a lovely beach at Blackwaterfoot only 5 minutes away. A beautiful place and would certainly return to Hamilton cottages again.

Arran has lots of lovely beaches with sand, pebbles and rockpools to explore. There are also lots of little parks and swings dotted around the coast which is great if you have young children. The outdoor play area at The Old Byre is a beautiful spot looking over the sea and has lots to do. There is also a nice cafe there.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th June 2022:

The cottage was spotless and very comfortable and cosy. The kitchen is well appointed and everything is there for you to use. Eg washing up liquid, dish washer tablets etc. A welcome pack was also appreciated.

We enjoyed shopping in Blackwaterfoot, the bakers, butchers and general store all stocked with everything you might need. The bakers croissant and sour dough bread are delicious. Walking along the coast and Goatfell are great walks. Lochranza is worth a visit and from there the walk to Lagan and back over the top was a good day out. Shopping at Arran Aromatics, the cheese shop,the brewery, the leather shop and gallery all worth a visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

6th June 2022:

Pleasant accommodation in a peaceful environment. Friendly owners. Good games room. Loved the friendly chickens wandering about.

Would Recommend: Yes

5th June 2022:

Fiona and Matt were incredibly helpful, warm and friendly. Our stay in Arran was blessed with amazing weather, and we loved Shurig Cottage - my kids (11 and 14) used the games room pretty much every day. Amazing base for exploring Arran - we went walking in the mountains on five days of our stay, and had some great coastal walks and even a sunny afternoon cooking over a fire on the beach...

Kildonan Beach on a sunny day is amazing - we made a fire pit with driftwood and cooked lunch, and my brave friends went for a sea swim. If you go up Goatfell, try to avoid the main path and head up the valley from Corrie instead - it's quieter and you get to do a more interesting ridge walk, too. Fiona and Matt are super-helpful if you want any advice about walking or mountain biking on Arran. The Co-op in Brodick is quite expensive - it's worth doing a shop on the mainland (there's an Asda at Ardrossen) before you get the ferry over.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th May 2022:

Shurig Cottage is one of three cottages available, this one suited our needs. Excellent personal welcome from the hosts, friendly and open. Just a great vibe the minute you arrive. Our cottage was warm and cosy, and exceptionally clean!! The smell from the trees in the garden just adds to the feeling of summer. We are less than 2 mins from the main road and it is buffered by mature trees and blackbirds singing so very little noise, a bonus if you hate traffic noises. Bees buzzing about the garden from the hives close by is wonderful. Sun just creeping through the trees at breakfast, and a seat outside to relax and paint whilst I enjoyed the birdsong. A very cheeky robin is very tame! We visited as I was recovering from cancer surgery and everything in this cottage allowed me to relax. This is possibly the best equipped cottage we have been to, with the most welcoming hosts. Dog on a lead at all times people please as the wildlife and farm animals were here before you if you visit. No washing machine in cottage as laundry pit stop on same property, which means another excuse to meander in the grounds. The artwork in the property is gorgeous too painted, all island areas by the host Fiona. Just a lovely lovely cottage and highly recommended.

Very central for walks, best beach on the island is less than 5 mins away, great longer more challenging walks also. Village 2 mins away has butcher, baker and a great hotel for lunch too!

This was our second visit. It wont be our last. Hamilton Cottages is a home away from home, and the space is wonderful for our two small children (and for us!).

First class accommodation finished to a high standard with every facility required to enjoy a fabulous holiday. Owners really friendly and helpful. Cottage rental reasonable, well worth the accommodation provided.lovely setting within walking distance of Blackwaterfoot

Good hotel, the Kinloch, and Shiskine Golf Club, both worth a visit. The STAGS PAVILION restaurant in Lochranza is a MUST DO but make sure you pre book your table, and check what days the STAGS is open. Great for a day out. Walking in abundance . Book available ‘40 walks in Arran’

Would Recommend: Yes

18th April 2022:

Great spot - we had all 3 cottages as an extended family which worked really well. Kids enjoyed the garden and especially the proper ganmes room. Weather was really kind to us. Easy to get anywhere around the island from the cottages. With regards the cottages themselves we were all impressed by the cleanliness and the nice littel touches which you don't get elsewhere - soaps, dish cloths, spare toilet rolls etc, that you don't always find in other holiday homes. Nice touches made a difference! Everything worked and the small woodland area was great for dog strolls in the evening. Will highly recommend Hamilton Cottages and Arran as a whole.

Well appointed cottage with just about everything you need for a few days away. Apart from matches or a lighter for a candle, which is very picky, the things provided were great, including the welcome pack. As a dog owner, I found it a restriction to have to keep my dog on a lead the whole time, although I do understand that with hens around. My dog barked twice on Saturday morning to get back into the house and when I sent out to get him, the neighbouring guest came out and glared...perhaps none dog owners should be made aware that there will sometimes be dogs around during their stay.

Sunset down by the beach, 5 mins drive, amazing. Also walk along the beach and round the headland. Gin bar on Brodick beach, castle end, amazing. another lovely walk along the beach.

Would Recommend: Yes

The location is good because the properties are central but you definitely need a car to get around. Disadvantage is that there is nothing local you can walk to (pub, shop, restaurants). Cleanliness can't be faulted.At the time we stayed (early March), we felt the main living area and kitchen areas were a bit colder than we would have liked. The games room was great (but also very cold/no heating).

Would recommend the Old Pier Cafe, Lamlash. Buy your bread from the Blackwaterfoot Bakehouse. Walks to the Kings Caves and up Glen Rose to waterfall.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi Wendy, thank you for you review and feedback. We're really sorry you felt that the living area was colder than you'd have liked. The heater goes up to about 29C and there is also a 2KW electric fan heater in the fireplace but we do have spare fan heaters in case of emergency that we could have happily offered if you had mentioned that you were finding it cold. Unfortunately as the games room is a large hall-like space it's just not economically possible with our current prices to have this room heated all the time however there is a fan heater in there you can turn on when using the room and we are looking at how we can invest in alternative heating sources that are less energy intensive.

Very clean and had all amenities.

Local bakery fab. Lots of wildlife to say and beach at Blackwaterfoot nearby is perfect for a lovely stroll.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd March 2022:

absolutely fabulous stay! a great location and close enough to all main attractions. Cottage was so lovely and fully equipped with absolutely everything we could need. We absolutely loved the fresh eggs provided, and the homely feel about the place. The only thing I'd change is the showers, the strength was quite poor but apart from that, can't fault anything else.

I'd definitely recommend the cheese shop, the arran arromatics shop, the drift inn pub - the view is amazing and would be lovely to sit outside at in the summer and they Let dogs Inside the kinloch lounge was stunning and also let dogs inside the milk vending machine at blackwaterfoot is so cool the deep fried mars bar at the chippy at Brodick terminal was amazing

Would Recommend: Yes

Glad you enjoyed your stay! We'll take a look at the showers and see what we can do to improve them :-)

Lovely relaxing stay in beautiful cottage despite stormy weather. First trip to Arran and already planning return trip. Hoping to arrange family get together soon. Thanks again for your hospitality. Jim and Anne feeney. Ps our 8 year old niece loved the games room and chickens

Would Recommend: Yes

16th February 2022:

We really enjoyed our stay at Rosa Cottage and look forward to coming back. The cottage is a perfect home from home and was well equipped with everything you need during a stay. Spotless and cosy. Our 2 children loved the games rooms and the chickens! Plenty of space for our family of 4 in the cottage.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th February 2022:

Couldn't have been more helpful and understanding. We had to rearrange our booking a couple of times and then add an extra night on and this was no hassle at all for Fiona. Great service and lovely place. I would definitely book again!

Walk along beach at Blackwaterfoot is beautiful. The wee bakery there is also a gem although it doesn't open till 11 so buy your breakfast treats the day before!

Had a fantastic stay. Property was immaculate and had everything you could ever need.

Perfect family home and only a 20 minute drive from the ferry.Great location to explore Arran

Would Recommend: Yes

7th November 2021:

We had the most fabulous time staying in Shurig cottage. Literally from the moment we set foot in the door we were impressed and delighted at the standard of the accommodation, which was perfect for our two small children and ourselves. Lots of little Halloween touches kept our three year old busy while we unpacked, and restored us after we’d finished the hard work. The kitchen is compact but smartly laid out, the bedrooms lovely and comfy, and the outdoor space and games room wonderful-our baby monitors reached as far as the games rooms so my husband and I could ‘go out’ every night for a game of table tennis! We had major dramas with ferries and Matt and Fiona couldn’t have been kinder or more helpful. We are already planning a return visit.

Make sure you use the bottles provided to get hold of some Arran Dairy milk. It is likely the best milk you will ever have tasted. We waited until day 4 to find this out which was silly. Children’s clothes and shoes can be bought at the Byre on the west of the island in case of an emergency!

Would Recommend: Yes

17th October 2021:

We found Rosa cottage a relaxing and stylish getaway, clean and with everything we needed. We were very well looked after by Fiona and Matt, and the games room was well maintained and a real hit with our children. Thank you Hamilton Cottages for a wonderful holiday!

Make sure you try the fresh, free range eggs, they were delicious!!

Would Recommend: Yes

11th October 2021:

Lovely stay in Ashdale cottage. Very clean, well equipped and cosy. Lots of thoughtful touches to make the cottage the perfect home from home. Matt and Fiona are the perfect hosts. Looking forward to returning soon

Would Recommend: Yes

10th October 2021:

Very helpful! On hand if needed for advice or assistance. Only 1 thing to point out, the decking is a bit slippery when its wet; there's a product called Algon which kills the algae which may help

Maran in Corrie is good, Kinloch Hotel is handy and the bar is nice. Cafe Thyme near Machrie does very good pizzas and light snacks too. Camerons shop for essentials and tasty Arran milk, and the Arran butcher for good meat and sossies. Kings Caves from the woods car park or from Blackwaterfoot via the coast/golf club track is a good walk. Cycling is good on Arran but watch out for potholes (and whilst driving too) North and south loops or around the island

Would Recommend: Yes

7th October 2021:

Our stay was great - we hope to be back in the future and will be recommending Hamilton Cottages to our friends and family.

Would Recommend: No

3rd October 2021:

Lovely accommodation with ample facilities for our group of 6. Matt and Fiona were very helpful on the rare occasions we wanted/needed to speak with them. Quite simply it was perfect - I couldn’t have got something better if I tried. Would happily recommend to family and friends.

Just get out and see this island - it’s beautiful. Don’t worry too much about the weather either as it’s likely to change anyway. Get in the tourist information office when you arrive and grab the tourist maps and guides for ideas and start exploring. Enjoy!!!!!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank You Richard, it's so lovely to hear you really enjoyed your holiday :-)

30th September 2021:

We have visited Arran many times. This was our first visit to Hamilton cottages but it won't be our last. Lovely cosy clean cottage equipped with everything you could need. Location was beautiful. Fantastic relaxing break

Pierhead tavern was excellent, both the food and service. Arran aromatics is always lovely to stock up on early Christmas presents

Would Recommend: Yes

27th September 2021:

Fiona and Matt are wholeheartedly committed to making these cottages everything people would want for their holiday. We loved this our 2nd stay in 3 months.

If you want a beautiful well cooked meal and don’t mind the drive to Lochranza, book The Stags restaurant (take your own alcoholic drinks). We just loved it and what a lovely welcome. Always booked months ahead so plan ahead!

Would Recommend: Yes

26th September 2021:

We have stayed now in all 3 cottages and have loved them all. The cottages are immaculately clean, decorated and equipped to a high standard and are really cosy and comfortable. Fiona and Matt are extremely friendly and helpful hosts. The location is great too, with easy access to Blackwaterfoot and only 15 minutes from Brodick.

We would highly recommend dining at ‘Blackwaterfoot Lodge’ (Blackwaterfoot) and The Stag’s Pavilion (Lochranza) but book weeks in advance as they are so popular. Seal colony at Kildonan, King’s Cave, Machrie standing stones, Glenashdale Falls are just some of the least demanding walks on the island but certainly worth doing, especially if you have young children.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted you've now had a chance to enjoy all 3 cottages!! :-)

18th September 2021:

Beautiful cottages decorated to a high standard. Extremely clean and well equipped. Laundry room and games room are a real bonus. Woodland is lovely and really handy if your dogs are with you.

Lagg distillery is worth a visit. Its in a beautiful location and the cafe is recommended. Kinloch Hotel is nearby and lovely for meals out. Machrie Moor and the standing stones are also nearby and definitely worth a visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th September 2021:

We have just returned from a wonderful week at Hamilton cottages. The cottage was immaculate, beautifully decorated with everything you could need, a real home away from home. The resident chickens were a hit with our little grandson. The area is lovely and peaceful but would recommend a car to see the rest of the island.

We did a tour of the island and particularly liked Lamlash and Lochranza. Our son in law did the hike up Goatfell and came back with some great photos. We did the more sedate walk to Glenrosa which was stunning. The Arran icecream is a must try!!

Would Recommend: Yes

7th September 2021:

Thank you for the warm welcome and wonderful stay at Rosa Cottage during our week's holiday to the Isle of Arran. The cottage and its surroundings had everything we needed for a relaxing break. Your communication rgearding our stay, before, during and after was excellent, it added to the positive experience of our stay. The freshly laid eggs our 7 year old collected from your hens were a big hit with him and 'super delicious' in his words :-) Will be back for sure! Thanks

If you're looking to explore everything that Arran has to offer from a quiet, relaxing and central base to enable you to do so, this is the perfect location. Do make sure you visit the Blackwater Bakehouse a mile or so down the road in Blackwaterfoot at 11am - the most delicious baked goods the island has to offer!!!

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd September 2021:

Excellent place to stay to explore Arran

Would Recommend: Yes

30th August 2021:

The booking process all ran very smoothly & we were made to feel very welcome. The cottage was excellent and comfortable with great facilities.

It is about a mile & a half to Blackwaterfoot for the beach, pub, restaurant, etc. The cottage itself is in a peaceful location & very child friendly.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th August 2021:

Our hosts are A Lovely couple, this was our second stay, the cottages are idealy placed for travelling around the island the cottages are ideal for a family,clean spacious and roomy. I just can’t say enough about the cottages. I hope to book again for next year.

Ideally placed for travelling the island. 30 minutes to Brodick 15 minutes to black Waterford

Would Recommend: Yes

4th July 2021:

Very friendly but not in your face!!!! Lovely to know you’re there should we need you. And to give a friendly wave. Eggs are an amazing addition. As is the honey when it comes. Washing room is wonderful. Makes things so easy for families.

Mara Fish is a must. But pre-order via Instagram or their website. You will be disappointed if not. They are very busy. Botanics bar on the beach at Brodick is almost magical. In the right weather you could be anywhere in the world. Stunning idea!!! Walk for families is Glen Rosa up to the saddle. Not precarious at all and my 9 year old managed easily. Views are incredible. Drift Inn has a great outdoor seating area for eating / drinks. Kildonan beach is so tranquil and is a must for seal spotting. Sandy beach all to yourself and soft on the feet for the swimmers.

Would Recommend: Yes

13th June 2021:

Excellent holiday accommodation, cottage is very comfortable and bright, very tastefully furnished and decorated. Beautiful garden with outstanding views of the countryside. Hosts are very friendly, welcoming and helpful (and understanding when a small breakage was reported!). Definitely hope to return and have no hesitation in recommending Hamilton Cottages.

If possible, best to have your own transport as bit of a walk to Blackwaterfoot, neared village.

Would Recommend: Yes

7th June 2021:

We booked all three cottages which was great for our family reunion. Extremely comfortable and clean and beautifully furnished. Would certainly recommend these lovely cottages.

Lovely walks all over the island. Favourite one is up Glen Rosa to the Blue pool and up to the loch at Corrie Lochan. The Rock in Brodick is great for lunch.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th May 2021:

It was great to have someone on hand and available if there had been any queries. The cottage was just as we would like and certainly will think of coming back again

The 2 books you left in the cottage were very helpful in guiding us to various interesting places to visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th May 2021:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hamilton Cottages. The location provided an excellent base to explore the island. Ashdale Cottage was comfortable, well-equipped and spacious for the four of us who stayed there. The kitchen had everything we needed and we enjoyed meeting your chickens, the local red squirrel and the birds that visited the cottage garden. We had a relaxing week enjoying the diversity of Arran! Maureen and Nan

We enjoyed many walks - the literature in the cottage was extremely helpful in choosing these. Geln Ashdale, Glen Rosa, Sannox to LochRanza, Clauchlands Point and Drumadoon Point were among our favourites. A visit to the Machrie Stone Circles was informative and poignant as we realised what had gone on thousands of years before on the spot where we stood.It is useful to have a good map to plot your walks. We also enjoyed some beautifully cooked, fresh fish at Mara Fish Restaurant at Corrie.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th May 2021:

Superb fully equipped cottage. Approachable hosts who were keen to ensure our stay was trouble free. Good location for touring the Island

Try the Stag at Lochranza but you will need to book. Plenty of walks and mountain climbs just need a guide book.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th May 2021:

The location could be a little remote for some but we found it a perfect base for exploring the Island. The cottage was clean and had everything that you would need for a great stay. The Games Room and the chickens were a hit with our kids. I loved watching the birds in the garden, which is also a safe space for the kids to play within view of the cottage windows or patio. Hosts were friendly and available if needed. We stayed in the Ashdale Cottage which was very spacious and would be perfect for families of 4+.

Look out for the resident owl heading out in the evenings! Cottage is a short drive from Blackwaterfoot which has an excellent bakery, butcher, small grocery shop, On-a-Roll sandwich takeaway and Restaurant/bar at the Kinloch Hotel. The Kinloch hotel also has a beer garden facing West for sunset drinks. Also a short drive from the Kings Cave circular walk and Machrie Standing stones. Finally, a 5 minute drive from Arran Alpacas where you can learn about Alpacas and take them for a short walk.

Would Recommend: Yes

The chickens must have liked the attention...We had our very first egg laid on Sunday!!

A very pleasant welcome and a short bit of info on how thinks work and where to find everything, just right and not overbearing. The cottage is spacious and has all the items and more than one would need. It was immaculately clean with full provision made for Covid 19 protection. The immediate surroundings are a well maintained garden area overlooking the fells, lovely to sit out when the weather permits. Past the parking area is a woodland walk complete with it's own Red Squirrels. A thourghly enjoyable stay and would recommend the property without hesitation.

29th September 2020:

A well equipped, stylish, and very clean holiday cottage. Fiona and Matt were very welcoming and helpful during our visit. The location is ideal for visiting Arran, good for walking and cycling.

The local shops at Blackwaterfoot are good along with those at Brodick. We didn’t visit any indoor facilities because of CV19 but there is so much to see on Arran that wasn’t a problem. Lots of wildlife including red squirrels in the garden, gannets, and seals hauled out on the rocks. Great place for walking and cycling.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th September 2020:

Beautiful cottage, lots of space for 6 adults, very comfortable. Lovely touches that made it feel very special, including the welcome pack of goodies. We enjoyed the games room and garden, and views from the garden. Great to have laundry and drying facilities. The cottage is 5 minutes drive from Blackwaterfoot bay and it's wonderful beach - but also easy access to the rest of the island.

The Bakehouse at Blackwaterfoot is an absolute treat - artisan sourdough bread, cinnamon twists, almond croissant - get there for 11, when it's gone that's it for the day! Kilmory beach is well worth a visit, just off the beaten track but easily accessed. Lovely walk up the hill behind Shiskine which takes you up to Loch Cnoc an Loch - just watch out for boggy bits, and if there's been heavy rain crossing the river might be tricky - there are shorter versions of the walk!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We look forward to welcoming you back soon :-)

11th September 2020:

Could have done with a clothes horse but that is a small point.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi Moira, Thank you for staying with us again and for your lovely review. There is a clothes horse under the bed in the master bedroom. The information folder should detail where to find everything but I know it can be easy to miss! We hope to see you again soon! Fiona and Matt

It was a lovely well equipped, comfortable cottage. Everything we wanted, and the complimentary chocolates were much appreciated. Great location in the middle of the island, with lovely views out to the surrounding hills.

Isle of Arran Distillery is a must. The Arran Marine Conservation Centre/the Octopus shop is a great little place to learn about the important conservation work the local community are doing, located in Lamlash. The easy short walk of Glen Sannox is an absolute must as well. Beautiful walk that encompasses what's great about Scotland.

Would Recommend: Yes
