A British island’s ‘best kept secret’ that can be enjoyed all year round comes highly recommended by visitors who are taken aback by its chilled atmosphere surrounded by white sand and beautiful waters. The UK has many hidden coastal gems for tourists to discover or for those wanting to experience the best a staycation has to offer. Foreign and domestic visitors alike may be surprised by the beauty of Britain once they start to explore.

One such place in the British Isles is located far north on an island on the west coast. As well as providing a wealth of activities for those seeking adventure , the island has breathtaking scenery and is the perfect place to recharge your batteries on your holiday . If sitting back with a cocktail in hand and relaxing on the beach is your thing, there’s a perfect spot for you on the Isle of Arran.

Situated on Scotland ’s west coast, Arran is the largest island in the Firth of Clyde. Most travelling by ferry will arrive at the main village of Brodick - chosen as the Daily Record's Village of the Week at the start of July - and just outside of it is where you’ll find the idyllic Cladach Beach House. It has indoor and outdoor seating with a log burner and outside fire pit, so visitors can still enjoy the stunning scenery in the colder months and imagine they are at an Alpine ski lodge.

During the summer, the Tiki-style beach bar is the perfect spot to sit on the sand and take in the incredible views of the clear waters whilst listen.
