Rose Cottage
Creag Dhubh Whiting Bay KA27 8RQ
Nestled under a turf roof and oak beams, this idyllic 300 year old cottage on the Isle of Arran is the ideal island getaway. Rose Cottage is a Category B listed building of architectural and historic interest and it is believed to have been built in the 18th century as a "Long House" typical of the Western Isles at that time, built on falling ground with a sloping roof ridge. The owners have gone to considerable care to renovate the cottage incorporating green-oak framed trusses which support the turfed roof. Internally the cottage has been finished sensitively, combined with modern levels of comfort and amenity. This is a unique property offering a memorable holiday experience with south facing aspect in a rural location. The entire ground floor is finished with slate flagstone tiles with underfloor heating and a stable door. Steps lead up to open plan lounge area with an open fire set into the natural stone wall. There is a French door to the rear patio and steps lead up to the kitchen. The kitchen sits at a higher level and is equipped with integrated dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing machine and gas hob with electric oven. The cottage offers romantic accommodation and well behaved dogs!

Quirky Island Fact
#20 - Arran has Scotland's First No Take Zone
The Community of Arran Seabed Trust (COAST) is a local charity and was established in 1995 by local divers, Howard Wood and Don McNeish, who had noticed the depletion of species on the seabed. The No Take Zone at the north end of Lamlash, was eventually created, after much campaigning, in 2008, and COAST were instrumental in then establishing the Marine Protected Area (MPA) which covers the coast around the south of Arran.
