Glen Rosa Stables
Is the Cottage Licenced?
Our cottage has been fully vetted and is licensed under the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 (Licensing of Short-Term Lets) Licence No: NA00526F.
Do you advertise the Cottage?
We are an independently owned and managed cottage - we market the cottage with Visit Scotland (click the badge on the front page for a link to their site), Independent Cottages and Best Scottish Cottages. Myself (Marjory) and my partner (Stuart) have been welcoming guests to Glen Rosa Stables since 2017. Its our passion project where we've continually invested in renovations and upgrades over the years. Maybe not the slickest website, however we do have the best team with our own fantastic house keeper (Diane) and gardener (Ryan).
What extra charges apply?
None.
No booking fees, no hidden service costs, just a charge for the little extra work when dogs visit.
Is the cottage geared for remote working?
Absolutely. 300Mbps full fibre Wifi throughout the cottage with three spots to set-up your home office. Looking for a lunchtime walk? The bridge and waterfall at Glen Rosa is an hour there and back.
Recommendation for Foodies?
Recommendations can be tricky as taste and likes are subjective, however these are the places that our guests continue to praise.

How do I get to the Cottage?
There are three ferry ports on the mainland that service Arran. The main ones are at Ardrossan and Troon, where the large car ferries cross daily to the Island arriving at Brodick in around an hour. The other is at Clonaig (summer and winter), and Tarbert (winter only). It is a small car ferry, which sails to Lochranza, in the north of the island. To book a car on the ferry, check the timetable or the service status at www.calmac.co.uk.
