Dog-friendly glamping near Millport

As the main, and only, settlement on the Isle of Cumbrae, any visitor making the ferry journey from Largs is likely to spend some time in the seaside town of Millport. The town sits on a hilly bay on the south coast of the island and is known for its Victorian promenade and Britain's smallest cathedral, the Gothic revival Cathedral of the Isles. Cumbrae’s compact size and fairly flat topography makes it ideal for cycling around.

14. Cosy Caravan in Roshven

131km from Millport · 1 unit · Glamping · Scotland

This self-contained trailer has been a well loved part our home since 2010. We’re happy to welcome friends and visitors to stay in it from time to time. A beautiful, wild and remote setting on the West Coast of Scotland. Peace and quiet! A useful stopover on the way to the Skye ferry. Cars/bikes and wellington boots are recommended. Eggs from our free range hens are available to buy. It is a drive to reach the small local shops/pubs. Walks to beaches and woods. We look forward to welcoming you. The vintage caravan is a cosy, quiet, self-contained space positioned close by our house. It is surrounded by honeysuckle and clematis. Through the windows you can glimpse mountains and trees. There’s a small double bedroom and another small bedroom that can be arranged either with a generous single or small twin beds that are ideal for young children. The living area has couches and a dining table. The kitchenette has all the basics, fridge, microwave and a gas cooker. The bathroom has a shower, washbasin and toilet. This self-catering accommodation has its own private lockable entrance. Guests have access to the caravan, garden, and driveway. Nearest shops/pubs are a 20-30min DRIVE away - it's a good idea to bring everything you need as the road is long and you may not feel like going out again! Please let me know in advance if you require the small twin beds made up. From the last week of May through to early September it is midge season in the Scottish Highlands, so be prepared to encounter these tiny biting flies - however, a light breeze and a stick of citronella incense is usually enough to disperse them! On still nights I strongly recommend that you keep the windows closed, otherwise you may find clouds of midges invade your space. There is a cooling fan to make warm evenings more comfortable. A haven for creatives! During April and October we host artists’ residencies specially for socially engaged practitioners who would benefit from some time to rest and reconnect with nature. When you book via Hipcamp, a small community fee is added to your daily booking charge and this goes to support these residencies by helping to pay for logs for the wood stove during the artists' visits.

The Mouse Water (pronounced moose) tumbles down along the edge of the farm and has some glorious pools for swimming, shallows for paddling and some spectacular water falls before it joins the River Clyde.

Where to go

Southeast Island

While in Millport, you can pick up some wheels from one of the town’s bike hire shops. The town is also home to a handful of cafes and shops where you can fuel up in preparation for your bike ride. Behind the town you’ll find Millport Golf Course where you can enjoy a round with views to Ailsa Craig, Bute and the Cowal Peninsula. The only campsite on the island, Millport Holiday Park has pitches with electric hook-ups.

North Island

Up the coast from Millport, Ballochmartin Bay is a popular place for kayaking and sailing. You can rent a kayak in Millport and paddle up the coast and around the Eileans (the two small islands in the bay). As you paddle, you’ll likely spot harbour and grey seals, as well as seabirds such as gannets and terns and (if you’re lucky) porpoises and dolphins.

West Island

If cycling around the island, Fintry Bay, on the west side, is a great place to take a break. There’s a little tea room here serving a range of light refreshments. Geocaching is a popular activity here, with around a dozen active caches on Cumbrae, including some around Deadman’s Bay south of Fintry Bay.

When to go

With long daylight hours and good chances of sunny weather, summer is the best time to explore Millport and the Isle of Cumbrae. Due to its easy access from the mainland (Cumbrae is known as Scotlland’s most accessible island), Cumbrae does get busy with visitors during peak summer, especially on weekends and school holidays. Spring is a good alternative: the crowds will not have arrived yet and the weather should be mild enough for enjoying the outdoors.

Know before you go

Regular ferries make the crossing from Largs on the mainland to Cumbrae (about once every half hour). Buses meet ferry passengers and take them to Millport four miles (6.4 kilometres) south of the ferry port.
Wild camping is possible on the Isle of Cumbrae, but campers must adhere to the Scottish outdoor Access Code.
There are a few small shops on the island, but it’s a good idea to bring the majority of supplies with you.
