1 / 24Moinadh Cottage
Blackwaterfoot, Isle of Arran
A whitewashed cottage for eight near Blackwaterfoot on Arran, wrapped in an enclosed private garden, with two sunrooms, a wood burner and one dog welcome.
Sunsets over the Mull of Kintyre are the headline at Moinadh Cottage, watched from the private patio or from the large sunroom with its patio doors flung open. Secluded among green fields beside the sea near Blackwaterfoot, this dog friendly cottage sleeps eight, and its one dog has a private grassy garden that surrounds the whole house, enclosed all the way round.
Behind the whitewashed walls the rooms are light and airy, with exposed stone, wooden furnishings and homespun touches. The ground floor holds the kitchen and breakfast room, a dining room seating eight, a second sunroom, a utility room, a comfortable double and a large walk in shower, while three more charming bedrooms and a snug for the children are on the first floor. Tea and crumpets by the wood burner after a country walk, the dog sprawled before the fire, is how most afternoons end.
Outside, the BBQ comes out while the children run around on the grass and the dog keeps them company, and sundowners follow on the patio. Otters, raptors, seals and sea birds share this undisturbed corner, and the rare white pheasant shows itself to the lucky. From the sunroom, morning coffee in hand, watch the bird feeding station while the dog dozes at your feet. An enclosed dog kennel outside is there if required.
Blackwaterfoot is 1 mile away, with its fishing harbour, a bakery for fresh bread and bikes to hire. Brodick Castle makes a fine day out at 11 miles, and with a beach within easy reach, the dog has a new walk for every morning of the week.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Moinadh Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Moinadh Cottage welcomes one dog, and they're at home throughout the property. The whole house is surrounded by an enclosed garden, so your dog can roam freely without you having to worry about boundaries — and there's even an outdoor kennel if they prefer their own space after a big day out.
Are dogs allowed at Moinadh Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions, so it's worth contacting the property directly to confirm availability for your dates. What we can say is that Arran is a genuinely dog-friendly island year round, with beaches and walking routes to suit every season.
What should I know before visiting Moinadh Cottage with my dog?
The cottage welcomes one dog, so it's not the place for a multi-dog household. Your dog will have the run of the enclosed garden and the house, with a dedicated spot in the kitchen breakfast room — and the garden boundary is secure enough to be trusted, which makes a real difference on a relaxed holiday.
