Fully equipped with all you will need (towels, bedding and crockery/full self catering equipment)
Wood burning stove/cooker (including an oven) for heat and cooking
Books, toys and games
Solar powered lighting
Insulated for year round comfort
Free WiFi
Private bathroom with shower and towels provided (including a luxury composting toilet)
Your own outdoor firepit with seating, cooking utensils and picnic bench

Yurts (or ‘Gers’ as they are sometimes called) are a traditional dwelling from Mongolia that have been used for many centuries. They provide a fabulous place to stay and loads of indoor space with an atmosphere that is unique and tranquil.

Our Site

Our site is set in a small orchard located near to the Old Manse just outside the hamlet of Kilmory. Along with the three yurts, the orchard and meadow contains the bathroom block which houses private bathrooms for each and a shared kitchen.

Parking for the site is a couple of minutes walk away and no cars are allowed on site making it safe for kids to run and play. A wheelbarrow is on hand to help with bags.

We keep chickens, geese and bees on our land and there is usually a supply of fresh eggs and honey.

Everything is close by:

The beach is 15 minutes walk
The local bar and restaurant is 10 minutes walk
There’s a small shop 10 minutes walk away
The forestry tracks lead straight from site — great for walking, running and mountain biking

The next village, Blackwaterfoot, fifteen minutes drive away, has a butcher, baker, deli and grocery shop, a number of cafes, restaurants and shops, golf and an indoor swimming pool.

The larger villages on Arran are all within easy reach — Whiting Bay 15 minutes drive, Lamlash 20 minutes drive, Brodick 35 minutes drive.

There is a regular bus service that goes round the island and stops in Kilmory — 5 minutes walk from us.
