CRUICKSHANKS BOUTIQUE B&B

B&B | WHITING BAY

The lovely Cruickshanks Boutique B&B in Whiting Bay is an idyllic and luxurious place to stay when spending time on the Isle of Arran. Cosy up in one of their three rooms; the Honeysuckle Room, Whimsical Room or Pearl Suite, each designed uniquely with ensuite bathrooms and indulgent Arran Aromatics toiletries to make you smell as good as you feel. Enjoy an evening drink in the traditional Ceilidh room downstairs, before heading into Whiting Bay for a sunset beach stroll and dinner, with stunning views onto Holy Isle.

Breakfast is certainly an occasion not to be missed at Cruickshanks, as fresh, locally-sourced ingredients are cooked up to create a delicious made-to-order breakfast. Choose from hot or cold dishes, such as the homemade granola, traditional Scottish breakfast, or smoked haddock and poached eggs.

Cruickshanks is a wonderful base when staying on Arran, as it is close to some of the islands best southern beaches, but only a half hour drive from the rugged hills of the north of the island. Owners, Nanette and Rob, are also incredibly knowledgable of many activities you can partake in on Arran; from sea-kayaking to hiking, golf to whiskey tours. Alternatively, you can spend a lazy afternoon relaxing in their beautiful garden, with breathtaking views onto the Firth of Clyde.
