About this property
This detached and welcoming holiday home sits in a beautiful spot on the historic Dougarie Estate, offering a remote base for couples and solo travellers seeking tranquillity and dramatic scenery. The island is often referred to as ‘Scotland in miniature’ thanks to its stunning landscapes, rich history and wide choice of outdoor activities – the first of which awaits 400 metres away at golden Dougarie Beach. From here, explore the island’s west coast further, starting with the 2-mile walk to the village of Machrie, known for its pretty beach, Neolithic stone circle, and popular golf club. More history awaits further afield in Brodick (11 miles), the island’s main village. This scenic hub is home to the island’s ferry terminal and offers a range of shops, restaurants and pubs, as well as Brodick Castle, Garden and Country Park (11.5 miles). For whisky tasting and tours, visit the Lochranza Distillery or Lagg Distillery (both within 13 miles).
As you approach this inviting property, take a moment to admire its peaceful setting surrounded by greenery on the Dougarie Estate. Step into the enclosed garden and make your way to the front door, before heading inside to be greeted by the airy open-plan living space. Boasting sleek flooring and whitewashed walls, this fresh room combines a well-appointed kitchen with a dining area and lounge space. Rest your weary feet as you sink into the soft sofa and flick on the Smart TV to sample local Scottish shows or find your own favourites. When stomachs begin to rumble, a stylish kitchen stands ready with everything required for a self-catered stay; enjoy your meals at the fold-out dining table or alfresco-style in the garden. When it’s time to call it a night, head to the rear of the property to find your restful super-king-size bedroom, which features nautical colours and zip-and-link beds that can be converted to twins on request. Serving the bedroom and completing the interior is a gleaming en-suite shower room with a walk-in shower.
Step outside each morning to breathe in the fresh island air. Out here, you will find a small furnished patio perfect for al fresco coffees and evening tipples, plus a gravelled garden. An external utility space with a washing machine sits at the rear, and you will also benefit from off-road parking for two cars.
