The property was perfect in every way. Firstly it was spotlessly clean - immaculate. The location was absolutely superb, really lovely and quiet with a gorgeous view and surroundings. Excellent facilities, everything you could possibly need. Lovely comfy cosy bed. I cannot fault it in any way.

Directions to property was spot on everything was ready for our arrival lovely and toasty with the log fire burning. It ticked all the boxes that we needed for our short break away. Lindsay and Charlie were perfect hosts and kept us supplied with extra logs. Wouldn’t hesitate to return and will be recommending to family and friends.

There was absolutely nothing I’d change.

The lovely host, Lindsay, contacted us before our stay to let us know that the ferry wouldn’t be running because of forecast high winds. We were oblivious. She suggested a different route a day early and gave us a free night to allow this to happen. When we made it she was there to greet us and immediately made us feel at home, with the log burner lit. The property is perfect, in a lovely village with restaurants, pubs, shops and a kayak experience, Otter’s Tail, all walkable.

The cottage was very cosy and comfortable, with everything available in the kitchen and bathroom for your needs. A seat in front of the log burner just added to the relaxing atmosphere, while looking out at the view along with few red squirrels popping up at the window.

Lindsay and Charlie were fantastic welcoming hosts and they had the place setup perfectly for our arrival. Although they live next door they were careful to give us our privacy but every interaction was fantastic. Aside from that, the property is delightful, well apportioned for going out sightseeing by day but with plenty of space to bunker down by the fireplace at night or on rainier days! Ragnars Rest also has a lovely little theme and history which you can learn about whilst there!

Everything. It’s a gem of a cottage. Location is gorgeous, heron, red squirrels in garden, log burner was on for our arrival so we were cosy straight away after damp day travelling. Lindsay is a fabulous host.

The location was perfect. Easy to access the whole island, and the views from the property were stunning. The property was perfect for what we wanted and very comfortable.

We spent a delightful week at Ragnar's Rest - the accommodation was perfect for the two of us and it is situated in a magical location. Lindsay and Charlie are lovely, friendly, welcoming and helpful hosts. We were blessed by lovely weather and adored sitting out on the decking until late into the night, taking in the serenity of the garden, the Holy Isle seascape and starry dark night sky views.

Ragnar's Rest is just lovely in every way! With beautiful views of the sea and the Holy Isle, and nestled beside a burn, it's the perfect place to relax and be "off the grid" for a while (although the wi-fi is excellent if one needs an internet connection!). The cottage was cosy and comfortable and had everything I needed. It was especially lovely to sit on the decking at any time of day listening to the burn babbling past and the watching the light change on the water. Linsday and Charlie are the best hosts - friendly, helpful and kind. They gave me lots of suggestions about what to see, do and where to eat, as well as practical advice about the buses. It was very easy to be here without a car. I will certainly be returning. It's a very special place.

Nothing. Wish we had stayed longer. Had not realised that there was so much to see and do on Arran

Perfect location in a quiet part of Lamlash. Beautiful sea views. 15 mins from Brodick. The hosts provided everything to make. Full cooking facilities, smart Tv, down to details like Elastoplast, tea coffee fresh milk, laundry liquid. Too many to mention. Also friendly advice

Would have been nice to have a little bit to sit for evening sun.

Gorgeous, well equipped and quirky wee property. Just perfect for 2 with absolutely everything you need. Lindsay is absolutely lovely and very helpful, it was lovely to meet her, would have no hesitation to rebook. Lamlash is a great place for a base to get round the island and all the restaurants have wonderful food. Stunning Golf Course as well.

A little cramped upstairs but all sensibly proportioned.

Beautiful small annex with driveway and outdoor decking spot. Extremely coordinated decorations. Highly recommended!

As a place for a few romantic nights away I would add a 2 seater to snuggle up on in front of the wood burner. Easily done, just need to swap out the sideboard for a compact IKEA 2 seater.

Great location and host, accommodation was well equipped and clean. Basics such as shampoo/soap were appreciated. Wood burner was fab!

Such a lovely little cottage, everything we needed. The views were amazing. Just across the road from the beach with seals to watch and Holy Island just across the bay. Lamlash has everthing you need, Co op, coffee shops restaurants including some interesting History.

Hosts have really thought of everything - loved it!

A lovely, comfortable base in a spectacular and tranquil spot. The accommodation has everything you need for a really enjoyable stay : lovely living area with smart tv, comfy bed and great shower. There's also a little outside seating area to enjoy. 10 minute walk along the seafront to restaurants, bars and shops and a great coffee place which also does amazing pastries etc to take away. Hosts are really friendly and helpful and provided great directions from the ferry terminal.Also sent links to info on walking trails, water sports etc and a folder of instructions and jnfo is available in the accommodation. We had a really relaxing stay here and look forward to our next visit🙂

Just returned from a lovely break at Ragnar's Rest. Lindsay and Charlie are great hosts who provide excellent accommodation in a lovely location. A lot of love and thought has gone in to providing all you would need for a self catering break on the beautiful Isle of Arran.

Stayed in June 2023

Nothing. Exceeded our expectations

Perfect location at side of burn and mature gardens within really close proximity to shoreline. We used our paddleboards most days and once inflated, were left inflated and propped against side of cottage for an easy 1 minute transfer into the sea. Our bikes were also left in front of wood store at side of cottage. Lindsay and Charlie were exceptional hosts, giving lots of great advice/ideas of where to paddle/climb/cycle as well as great dinner recommendations. The cottage is a beautiful cosy and peaceful property for a couple with everything you could need, not to mention the "to die for views" from all windows. We will definitely return.
