The Royal Arran
Whiting Bay, Southern Scotland
The Royal Arran is a generous cottage in Whiting Bay, Southern Scotland, sleeping up to twelve and well suited to large family gatherings or groups of friends holidaying together on the Isle of Arran. Being near a bus stop makes getting around the island a little easier if you'd rather not rely on the car the whole time. The Coast Discovery Center is 2.7 miles away, a good option for a rainy afternoon, while the Arran Heritage Museum, 6.5 miles off, offers a deeper dive into island history. Ardrossan Harbour station is further afield at 14.6 miles, useful if you're arriving by ferry and train combination. With so much space on offer, this is a solid choice for a big group wanting to explore Arran together.
