Spoilt for choice

There’s so much to do on Arran you really are spoilt for choice. As well as the outdoor activities there’s much to do inside at the Auchrannie Spa with a sports hall and swimming pool that is open to the public for all but a few hours a day. You can make soap at the Soap factory or pottery at The Balmichael Centre in Shiskine

There’s pony trekking in North Sannox, over the hills and beaches offering an incredible day for families and novices. For the more advanced riders there’s a riding centre at Blackwaterfoot.

Arran Adventure offer gorge walking, archery, mountian bike guiding and kayaking. Many of our guests have enthused about their kayaking experiences and the sea life that they have seen. Glenartney are able to offer  our guests 10% off  all Arran Adventure acitivites, just ask us for a voucher when you arrive!

Why not try paragliding with Flying Fever see Arran from a different perspective.

For high adrenaline without much effort try the rib rides at Ocean Breeze in Lamlash. The trip out to Pladda is memorable, the birdlife is completely breathtaking with puffins and gannets flying all around the boat. If you time the trip right you may catch some of the Caledonain Isles waves - great fun!

Hands on Hawking gives you a taste of flying birds of prey. We have the Scottish Hawking Club stay with us at the end of September, their birds rest in our garden at the end of the day, it’s an incredible sight to be so close to such mighty birds.

Fishing permits are required to fish on Arran’s rivers these can be obtained at the Tourist Office in Brodick. Mackerel fishing trips can be organised with the Holy Isle ferry company.

Some of the activities can be very popular so it is better to book in advance of your stay.
