β›Ί 🌬️ Remember the devastation of Storm Eowyn with sustained 100mph winds? It was heartbreaking for many people, properties & businesses.

πŸ’ͺ🏼 Despite being torn apart, we managed to reopen 4 accommodations in 2025.

But one HUGE project remained… Rosa Tent ❀️

❄️ Over winter & spring, Tom has worked tirelessly to bring her back to life. The amount of dedication & sheer hard work πŸ”¨ juggled around work, family, weather & ultra-running training (where does he get his endless energy!?) has honestly been incredible to watch πŸ₯Ή It has been a huge challenge but so proud we have made it πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

FINALLY we can say that TODAY we can’t wait to welcome guests back into Rosa Tent ✨

πŸ“Έ Photos of Rosa Tent 16 months ago & now!! Don't you think she looks AMAZING?

Interior photos coming soon!! 🫢🏼

πŸš— ⛴️ 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Why not incorporate a visit to Arran as part of an epic Scotland road trip!? There are sooo many routes to explore - with 3 ferry routes to/from Arran!!

🏠 If glamping is not your scene then look no further than Hamilton Cottages Isle of Arran - stunning cottages with sauna & plunge pool just down the road from us! πŸ’¦ πŸ”₯

πŸ“Έ THEN & NOW πŸ“Έ

When the old photos pop up it's hard to believe that we decided to pack in our steady mainland careers, move to Arran & take on the project of a lifetime (transforming an abandoned visitor centre into a glamping site & alpaca farm)!

No steady income, just hard graft, vision & a desire to be around more for our family ❀️

Did it work? Best thing we ever did! πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

There are challenges, sometimes heartbreak, but mostly heartfelt joy at providing relaxing, peaceful getaways for all guests.

We wouldn't change it for the world!! We are incredibly lucky 😍
