1 / 24Casa Mara
Brodick, Isle of Arran
A five star house for twelve at Brodick on Arran with a games room, six bedrooms, an enclosed garden and a path to the seafront, one dog welcome.
One dog gets twelve humans at Casa Mara, which as ratios go is the dream. This five star house in Brodick village sleeps twelve across six bedrooms, four of them en suite, with a games room, an enclosed garden and a path from the back of the garden to the seafront. For a big Arran gathering that refuses to leave the dog behind, it is the dog friendly answer.
A sweeping external staircase brings you in; inside, the kitchen gathers the party around a breakfast table while dinner cooks, the separate dining room adds occasion, and the lounge runs its evenings around a wood burner effect fire. Children disappear into the games room on arrival; the dog supervises the unpacking. The bedrooms run four kings, a double and a small double under the eaves.
The path out of the garden is the daily headline: down to the seafront, along the bay, bakery on the way back, dog first through the gate every time. Brodick's amenities and the ferry sit within half a mile, so the twelve of you can split and regroup all day without car keys.
The Brodick to Lamlash coastal path starts 0.2 miles away, Goatfell's summit walk begins under 2 miles off, and Brodick Castle and its grounds fill the soft afternoons. Arran calls itself Scotland in miniature; with one dog and twelve opinions, you can test the claim from a single base.

Is Casa Mara dog friendly?
Yes, Casa Mara welcomes one dog alongside your group of up to twelve people. It's a genuinely dog-considered setup too, with an enclosed garden and a path from the back of the garden straight down to the seafront, so your dog is part of the holiday from the moment you arrive.
Are dogs allowed at Casa Mara year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the property directly to confirm availability for your dates. Given that Arran and the surrounding coastal paths are equally appealing across the seasons, it's a great question to put to them when you enquire.
What should I know before visiting Casa Mara with my dog?
Casa Mara accommodates one dog, so it's a single-dog household rather than a multi-pet free-for-all — worth bearing in mind if you're travelling with a bigger group that has more than one. On the plus side, the enclosed garden gives your dog a safe space to roam, and the path to the seafront means walks start right from the property, with the Brodick to Lamlash coastal path just 0.2 miles away and Goatfell's summit walk under 2 miles off.
