...General details

This outstanding Guest House, lying on the most favourable site in Whiting Bay was built in 1904 by a seafaring captain as a quiet retreat in Scotland from his frequent trips to Argentina. Hence its name.

With its 5 bedrooms, the Guest House is well equipped to meet the modern travellers accommodation requirements. It overlooks Holy Island, an island where Buddhist monks keep a retreat, the Ayrshire Coast and, of course, the Firth of Clyde.

Our house is ideally situated for your active vacation (playing golf, climbing  mountains, riding horses, touring on bikes, water sports, etc) as well as for a quieter and restoring holiday (easy walking resting with books and music, island live, shopping, good food and drinks). Arran (and the Argentine) is an ideal all-year  destination.

The owners, Assya and Bruno Baumgärtner, come originally from Switzerland. We are especially proud that we could match Scottish and Swiss lifestyle to offer all our guests a unique experience on the Isle of Arran.

The Argentine Guest House is a completely non-smoking house. This is equally true for the public rooms as for the bedrooms.
