But while Tanglewood is a delightful retreat in itself, its real magic lies in its location. The Isle of Arran, often dubbed "Scotland in miniature," offers an extraordinary range of landscapes and experiences. Just a short walk from Tanglewood is the mystical site of the Kings Cross Point, believed to be where Saint Columba departed for Iona. The area is also home to fascinating rock formations and quiet beaches perfect for beachcombing, seal spotting, or a peaceful picnic. The nearby village of Lamlash is less than ten minutes by car and offers a range of cafes, shops, and boat trips to the Holy Isle a spiritual retreat centre and wildlife haven. Further afield, the island boasts a rich array of attractions for all interests. Outdoor enthusiasts can hike Goatfell, Arran’s highest peak, which rewards climbers with panoramic views over the Clyde and beyond. Walkers of all levels will also enjoy the many forest trails and coastal paths that wind across the island.
For history lovers, Brodick Castle and its beautifully maintained gardens offer a window into Arran’s past, while Machrie Moor, with its mysterious standing stones, provides a glimpse into the island’s ancient heritage. Nature lovers won’t want to miss the opportunity to spot red deer, golden eagles, and the rare red squirrel, all of which can be found in the island’s diverse habitats.
Arran is also a haven for food and drink lovers. From artisan cheese and handmade chocolates to locally brewed beer and whisky, the island’s produce is celebrated and widely available. Visitors can sample these delights at the Arran Distillery in Lochranza or one of the many farmers’ markets and eateries scattered across the island.
Whether you’re looking for relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both, Tanglewood provides the perfect base to explore everything the Isle of Arran has to offer. With its peaceful setting, comfortable amenities, and unbeatable location, it’s a holiday home that invites you to unwind and immerse yourself in the magic of island life.

We had a great stay at Tanglewood, lovely big house, plenty of space for our family (4 adults and 3 children). The garden was also lovely, plenty of space for the children to run around and play. The owner has really thought of everything with everything that is provided. If you haven't visited yet, you won't be disappointed when you do.
