About Runach Arainn

We are a small glamping site on the Isle of Arran, Scotland, offering self-catering accommodation in luxury yurts accompanied by private bathrooms.

Runach Arainn ('Secret or Beloved Arran' in Gaelic) is a small, intimate glamping site on the south end of the Isle of Arran, Scotland.

We offer self-catering accommodation in luxury yurts accompanied by private bathrooms. We are an ideal holiday destination for families and couples looking for a short break or a longer vacation. With our proper double beds, wood burning stoves, firepits and sofas we are definitely at the glamorous end of camping!

Our site is set in a small orchard near the village of Kilmory where we have three Scottish made yurts. Each yurt comes fully equipped with all you will need for your holiday including bedding, towels, crockery and cooking utensils.

Two yurts can sleep up to six people and the third can accommodate up to four people. Each is ideal for a romantic break or as a base for an adventurous family holiday.

The yurts are made from Scottish larch and canvas. All three are available for hire from February to November and have the following features:

* Luxury double bed plus two futon sofa-beds for other guests (double futons in the larger yurts and singles in the smaller yurt).
* Fully equipped with all you will need (towels, bedding and crockery) - just bring your clothes!
* Wood burning stove/cooker (including an oven) for heat and cooking.
* Insulated for year round comfort.
* Private bathroom with shower (including a composting toilet).
* Outdoor firepit with cooking utensils and picnic bench.
* Solar powered lighting.
* Free WiFi.
* Shared pot washing and laundry facilities (washing machine).

Parking for the site is a couple of minutes walk from the yurts and no cars are allowed on site making it safe for kids to run and play.

Our site is on the south end of the Isle of Arran 35 minutes drive from the ferry port at Brodick.

We are fifteen minutes walk from Torrylinn beach and twenty minutes walk from the nearest restaurant at The Lagg Hotel. The nearest shop is only 15 mins drive aw

The yurts are set in their own paddock amongst fruit trees. There is also a herb spiral from which you can take fresh herbs for cooking. We keep chickens, ducks and bees and we are happy to sell you some eggs or honey in season. We are developing a permaculture forest garden from which fruit and other produce will be available. We were awarded the AA Glamping site of the year for 2018.

Arran is an amazing island of beaches, mountains, forests and waterfalls. You are never short of something to do whether you want the exhilaration of walking in the Goatfell range of mountains or taking a more leisurely walk around the Glenashdale waterfalls in Whiting Bay. And for those rainy days we have a Whisky distillery and Brodick Castle to tour around.
