4 nights at Runach Arainn Glamping

Runach Arainn is even more lovely in person than in the photos. Great location for a peaceful and relaxing stay on Arann. The yurts are comfortable, the kitchen/fire-pit etc are well-equipped and the orchard setting is beautiful. It's just a short walk to the beach or to the Lagg Inn for dinner. Highly recommend.

The fields are grazed and cultivated but the woodlands are much as they were at the end of the last ice age with spectacular walks along Cleghorn Glen with the chance to see badgers, bats, deer and all manner of birds among the towering pine and beech trees. 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.

When to go

The west of Scotland is often wet, so be prepared for rain any time of year. Visiting in the spring and summer months means that you can fit more activities into the long hours of daylight. Winters, while chilly, are fairly moderate but daylight hours are short. If planning to hike the West Highland Way or explore Loch Lomond, it’s a good idea to time your trip for spring or autumn to avoid the biggest crowds.

Know before you go

Some private campsites in the area are seasonal: check opening dates before travelling.
Greenock is served by eight railway stations, which provide services to Glasgow, Gourock, Wemyss Bay, and beyond. Local buses can get you to other places of interest, including Largs and Loch Lomond.
Don’t worry if you’ve forgotten something—you’ll likely find anything you need in Greenock's shops. Start with the large Oak Mall Shopping Centre.
