The Summer House is a renovated farm cottage at Knockankelly Farm, Whiting Bay.

The farm is situated on the outskirts of Whiting Bay, on the Isle of Arran, above the village and beach, (approx, 1 mile), also overlooking the Holy Isle and the Ayrshire coast. On the farm we raise pedigree native breed black Galloway Cattle and also have the only flock on the Island of rare breed Wensleydale Sheep. The sheep produce a wonderful lustre fleece which we have processed into our own range of natural undyed knitting wool, and a selection of fabulous cuddly throws. A great souvenir to take home with you!

Right on the door step are forest walks and tracks ideal for mountain biking, or just to enjoy a leisurely stroll. Glenashdale Falls is a spectacular waterfall that can be accessed from the village or, by using the forestry tracks and making a longer walk, without having to go on the road.

The cottage is well fitted, comfortable and cosy and is open all year round with short breaks available in the winter season. We have electric central heating for all year round warmth, and the cottage has a fully fitted kitchen with all you need for your stay. Sleeping accommodation is on the first floor and comprises of double, twin and small single rooms.

There are plenty of good eating places in Whiting Bay - in fact the village is fast becoming the eating capital of the Island, with choices to suit all tastes.

Come and stay and see for yourself - the cottage is a warm and comfortable haven after you have spent the day walking the hills, cycling, horse riding, sightseeing or whatever else you want to do - or just come and chill.

Walkers, Cyclists and Bikers are all welcome, we can assist you with drying wet boots or waterproof gear and we have safe off road parking for bikes and motorbikes.

We are silver award members of the Green Tourism scheme and we are also in the RSPB Volunteer and Farmer Alliance scheme which means that our farm has been surveyed by the RSPB and we have a comprehensive list of the birds that live here.
