Rowanbank House & Studio

Rowanbank House & Studio offers two delightful self-catering properties on the Isle of Arran - perfect for couples, small families or friends wanting a classic Scottish island break with easy access to beaches, hills, golf, distilleries and more. Located less than a mile from the Brodick ferry terminal and opposite Brodick golf course, both properties enjoy views across Brodick Bay and Goat Fell, with shops, cafés and leisure facilities just a short walk away.

Arran is often celebrated as “Scotland in miniature” thanks to its mountains, beaches, forests and wildlife, and Rowanbank makes a great base from which to explore it all.
