Benview Cottage
A period property - built in the mid 1800s - the cottage faces south towards the forested hill of Torran Loisgte and ‘The Giant’s Graves’ (a prominent set of Neolithic chambered tombs).
It comprises an entrance hall with space for outdoor footwear and clothing, sitting room with wood burning stove and flat screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with walk in ‘rain shower’ and utility room with washing machine & dryer. Upstairs is an open airy bedroom complete with king-size bed and large built-in wardrobe.
A cosy but spacious place for two people, Benview Cottage combines heritage charm with thoughtful modern touches. Set within tranquil countryside and surrounded by walking paths, it’s a dog-friendly retreat where guests can relax by the fire, enjoy the private garden, and experience the peaceful rhythm of island life on Arran.
Just a short drive from local shops, beaches, and scenic trails, it offers a perfect balance of seclusion and convenience — an inviting base for exploring or simply slowing down amidst nature.
