The Isle of Arran (often described as Scotland in miniature) offers a great variety of landscape and walking for all abilities -  shoreline, coastal, hill and mountain - from the straightforward to the challenging. There are many paths as well as "open access", with stupendous views & the island has an excellent bus service.

Hazelbank is a delightful old cottage in the mountainous north of the island, nestling under the hillside halfway between Lochranza’s ancient castle and the ferry to Claonaig. Lochranza is an unspoilt small village in the mountainous north of Arran, lying around the island’s only sea loch. Basic supplies can be obtained from the butcher and the campsite shop. There is an hotel serving bar meals.

The village has the island’s only distillery and the area around the cottage offers wonderful walking opportunities without the need to use a car, from gentle shoreline strolls to more strenuous hill walks and mountain climbs.

The cottage is beside the sea loch with wonderful views across Kilbrannan Sound to Kintyre and Loch Fyne. It is set well back from the road in a large garden with a hard standing for car parking. It sleeps 6 in one double and two twin-bedded rooms.
