For an affordable break in a stunning shorefront location overlooking Holy Isle and the North Ayrshire coast, Invermay is your Arran base. A turn of the century art-deco villa, Invermay is a comfortable and elegant family-run guest house, with captivating sea-views, well equipped rooms, wholesome breakfasts (local produce) and idyllic surrounds.

You will receive the warmest of welcomes and be ideally situated to enjoy the many delights that Arran has to offer. Alternatively, you can simply relax and enjoy the quiet beauty and peace of the beach, local wildlife and numerous nearby walks.

About Arran

The Isle of Arran, known as 'Scotland in Miniature',

is one of the most southerly Scottish islands. Like a condensed version of the rest of Scotland, it has mountains and lochs in the north, and rolling hills and meadows in the south, surrounded by a stunning coastline.

It has a distillery, castles, a brewery, museums, outdoor activities, high quality local crafts and locally produced food that's fast gaining an international reputation.

There are few places where you can make your own soap in the morning before an afternoons paragliding, or where you can explore the standing stones on Machrie Moor one day and enjoy a reiki session the next.

Arran's history dates so far back that it becomes tangled up in Celtic myths and legends of Scotland's past. From the strange standing stones on Machrie Moor to the chequered history of Brodick Castle to the very cave where Robert the Bruce was supposed to have encountered the spider.

Whiting Bay is located six miles south of Brodick on the east coast of the Isle of Arran and offers a beautiful beach, a pub, plenty of walking, golfing and spectacular views.
