Brodick Castle and Country Park is unique in being the only island country park in Britain. The Castle offers 600 years of history, a fabulous collection of valuable artefacts, and stunning views over Brodick Bay to the Ayrshire Coast. The Castle Gardens provide an unrivalled experience from the formal walled garden to its woodland walks. Brodick holds three national collections of rhododendron that flower in almost every month of the year. The Park extends from seashore to mountain top with over ten miles of way-marked trails and abundant wildlife. With its backdrop of mountain peaks, its terraced lawns and luxuriant
gardens, Brodick Castle and Country Park is the very image of a Victorian 'Highland' estate. Opening times: Castle: 1 Apr to 31 Oct, Sun-Thurs 11-4.00 (closes 3.00 in Oct). Country Park: all year, daily 9.30-sunset.

Belvedere Guest HouseBelvedere is appropriately named, affording unrivalled views across Brodick Bay towards Goat Fell, the tallest mountain on the Isle of Arran. Unwind in the comfort of our home.

I have selected the properties on Private House Stays for their individuality that results from being privately owned. They take many forms from bed and breakfasts to small hotels but in each case it is the marque of the owner that sets it apart. This may be the charm of the furnishings, the wholesome home cooking or simply the atmosphere created by a charismatic host. I have inspected most of the establishments listed here and feel sure you will enjoy staying in them too.
Remember - booking through Private House Stays is free of charge.
