Why Reaper Weary?  The phrase comes from Tennyson's famous poem, 'The Lady of Shalott', but a weary reaper would think he had died and gone to heaven on coming to this sublimely comfortable and beautifully situated cottage on the lovely Island of Arran!

The cottage is a conversion of an old stable block at Glen Rosa Farm, created out of what was once the byre, stable, barn and threshing mill for the present farmhouse.  All on one level, it stands in its own large private garden, and both of the bedrooms and the sitting room have French doors leading out to a wild flower garden and orchard with furniture.
It is luxuriously appointed throughout, with old pine flooring, and there are two bathrooms, one ensuite, which between them have a whirlpool bath and power shower.

Glen Rosa, while just a couple of miles from Brodick, the main village of the island (all facilities) is a site of special scientific interest and a prime example of a glacial valley, where there is wonderful scenery, rare flora and fauna - you may be lucky enough to spot a golden eagle - picnic spots, and access too to Goat Fell, Arran's dominating peak.

Apart from the wonderful walking, whether up the Glen, on the mountain or simply strolling through the policies of nearby Brodick Castle, the island offers beautiful beaches, pony trekking, excellent golf courses, tennis, fishing and even paragliding and quad biking.  One of the Brodick hotels has a leisure centre with pool which is open to visitors.

The cottage has electric central heating.  Electricity, bed linen and towels are all INCLUDED.  Well-behaved pets are welcome by arrangement.  Groceries may be ordered in advance.  Sorry, no smokers.  Payphone.
