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!
