Had a lovely week in Arran staying at Tofts Knowe. The property is ideally situated for access to Blackwaterfoot village and Shiskine Golf Course. Although, it should be said that everything in Arran is readily accessible. We would have no hesitation returning to this property. Kay & Neil

Lovely bungalow which was very well equipped. Beds were lovely and very comfortable. The views from the property were amazing and Blackwaterfoot a great base for touring the island.
