Located just yards from the sandy beach, this enchanting cottage has wonderful views across Kilbrannan Sound to the Isle of Arran - seals, otters, sea-birds and porpoise are regular sights. With a pretty secluded garden beside a fast-flowing burn, it is set in the picturesque hamlet of Grogport, once a secret haven for whisky smugglers!

The village of Carradale, just 10 minutes drive away has shops, restaurants, a 9 hole golf course, sea fishing and riding as well as a wildlife reserve and a 2000 year old vitrified fort. There are also 2 beautiful beaches - one sandy and one shingle - where seals can often be seen.
