The former farmhouse is located above the village of Whiting Bay with commanding sea views over the Firth of Clyde; a perfect base for a peaceful island break.

Rooms & Suites

We have four rooms on offer, each quite different in character, but all carefully designed to provide a restful, comfortable and self-contained space.

 

When constructing and decorating these we took care to ensure that all are equipped to the same high standard but as you would expect from rooms in a traditional building the layout in each is quite different; all contain large double beds and two can be re-configured as ‘twin rooms’ containing two well-proportioned single beds.
