The Kingscross cottage, located on the picturesque Isle of Arran in Scotland, offers a serene retreat for up to four guests. Nestled on a generous seven acres of private land, this charming accommodation is situated near the coast and provides direct access to two unique bays—one with shingle and the other sandy—both featuring inviting rock pools. Visitors can engage in various outdoor activities such as playing ball games on the lush grass, exploring the fascinating marine life in the pools, or simply basking in the sun in a tranquil setting. The cottage's proximity to Whiting Bay, just two miles along the coast, allows guests to enjoy waterside parks and a delightful seafood restaurant, along with an art gallery, coffee shop, and golf course for leisurely pursuits.
For those seeking further adventure, a short seven-mile journey leads to Brodick, the local ferry port, where guests can access luxury spa services and an array of dining options. Additionally, the iconic Goat Fell, located 12.5 miles away, beckons hikers with its status as the island's highest peak, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The cottage itself is a single-level haven that beautifully blends traditional charm with modern comforts, making it a perfect escape to the countryside.
The interior of the cottage features a cozy lounge designed for relaxation, complete with a cottage suite and a television positioned to face a welcoming wood burner. This space is ideal for enjoying board games or watching movies on cooler evenings, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The well-equipped kitchen is adjacent to the lounge and includes essential appliances such as a large fridge/freezer, electric oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, and tumble dryer, ensuring that all needs are met. A dedicated dining room provides ample space for family meals, enhancing the cottage's homely feel.
Original beams throughout the property add character, particularly in the king-size master bedroom, which includes an en suite shower room for added convenience. In addition to the master suite, there is a second double bedroom and a cozy bunk bed room, perfect for children. A shared bathroom featuring a sunken bath and shower completes the accommodations. Although the layout is primarily on the ground floor, small steps connect various rooms, maintaining accessibility. The expansive outdoor area surrounding the cottage invites exploration, with a private lawn ideal for children's play and a footpath leading to the beach. An outdoor dining set provides a perfect spot for alfresco meals while enjoying stunning sea views, making this cottage a delightful getaway for families or couples alike.
