Description

Avoca is a charming period house with stunning views over Whiting Bay. Inside the house has the feel of a beach house with its traditional style, cosy, easy living with all your comforts in mind. Avoca has a kitchen/garden room come diner, lounge, entrance hall with downstairs toilet. There are two bedrooms one with a king size bed and the other with two single beds which can be joined, both rooms have TVs and dressing tables. The bathroom has a double ended bath with shower.

The kitchen/diner has a huge picture window overlooking the beech tree and burn which runs along the side of the garden. In the winter with the leaves off the tree you can sit on the window seats and soak up the stunning view of Holy Isle which are revealed. If that view is not enough all the rooms have windows which face the bay maximising the view and the sunrise. Also giving a prime location to watch the varied ships and naval excersises on the Clyde. The lounge has two sofas and woodburning stove with a 40 inch smart TV. Delightfully appealing and beautifully situated there is a lovely patio at the back which is an e perfect sun trap, surrounding the patio the extensively planted garden bursts with colour.

Avoca sits elevated from the road and looks down onto the village of Whiting Bay which is perfect for the many eating places and cafes, sitting, walking, swimming, beach combing, angling, kayaking, biking and putting. The island also has 7 challenging golf courses. Whiting Bay is surrounded by its many beautiful walks, The Point at Kings Cross, Glenashdale Falls, Giants Graves, Eas Mhor, Kildonan beach for its seals and otters and the forest trails are easy to access for mountain biking.

Or relax and soak up the view and watch the native red squirrel, the yellow wagtail patrol the burn and the swans on the bay that come down for the night from Avocas scenic garden.

Please note: There is a burn running alongside the garden which can be fast flowing during periods of heavy rain.’

Beautiful house right by the sea front in Whiting Bay. Close to local shops, a pub, a Thai restaurant. Right by the bus stops but is also drivable to Brodick where there is a Co-op and ferry port. Large spacious bedrooms with clean crisp linen, good sized cosy sitting room with log burner and a supply of board games. Huge well equipped and well designed kitchen diner overlooking the burn outside. Every room faces the sea front so you can see the stunning sunrise from anywhere in the house. Avoca provides everything you need for a wonderful home from home stay, you really couldn’t wish for anything more. Denise is a lovely host who has clearly put a lot of thought, care and love into this gorgeous little house and it was a please to book through her. Honestly, this house is perfect. So sad to leave but we will definitely be back

Beautiful and comfortable property. There was everything you could possibly want. Spotlessly clean. Location was perfect. Great views.Denise promptly responded to any queries we had.The only negative was the over bearing number of laminated signs on the walls in every room. Please rethink this and put them into a folder.

Ideal property for our week long stay on Arran. Impossible to fault. Would definitely like to stay here again when I return to Arran. I would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and family.

I loved this house, a lot of thought and effort has gone into making this a special place to stay. We cooked a lot due to COVID restrictions and it was actually a pleasure as the kitchen was so nice and had everything you could possibly need. Great laundry facilities too and even a pulley which was brilliant! (I seriously need to get one). We had a few days of heavy rain but we didn’t mind being indoors as we enjoyed being in the house. We were lucky enough to see a red squirrel in the garden a few times. The garden is fully enclosed so it was great for our dog. The house was clean, comfortable and warm. It made our holiday really relaxing and enjoyable.

Beautiful house with everything you could need provided. The location was wonderful with the shore just over the road and shops and cafes close by as well as beautiful walks. The house is warm and cosy and the bed was so comfortable! The views of the bay from the house are lovely and we were lucky enough to watch dolphins from our bed on one morning! A fantastic stay and we can't wait to return.
