About The Shore House
The Shore House was originally built as a first class hotel on the Brodick
seafront in the 1930s. This was due to its commanding view of Goatfell,
Brodick Bay and the islands and mountains beyond.
From the end of the front lawn to the shoreline is literally 22 yards (20 m), which has got to be the proverbial 'stones throw' in anyone's book.
About The Owners
Tom and Sheila Tracey own and manage The Shore House. Our family have
left the island and we are left with our dog Dougal and the cats called
Tom and Gerry. Originally from Ayr, we have lived in Germany for three
years and the USA for four years but where badly smitten with Arran-itis.
Arran's Environment
Arran has a stunning landscape that casts its magical spell over even
the most unsuspecting visitor. The Island is a very special place and
deserves to have the highest level of care lavished on it.
Arran Trust
Many Arran groups and organizations are doing excellent work maintaining
and improving the environment for us all to enjoy but there's always more
to do. Even with the mass of Arran volunteers, sizeable financial support
is needed to ensure projects are sustainable.
The Shore House supports the Arran Trust to help fund projects to ensure Arran is kept just the way it should for the benefit of local communities and visitors alike.
On our payment page there is an option to donate £2 (or any other amount), this goes towards worthwhile projects. It is voluntary and there is no pressure, so if you would rather not donate then untick the option.
Where else, can you be guaranteed a warm, feel-good glow for just a handful of spare change?
The donations are looked after by the Arran Trust, pending charity status. Each year the money will be used to maintain and improve more footpaths, create safe cycle routes, protect the marine environment, provide conservation education for the next generations, care for wildlife and support a host of other conservation projects on the Island.
Please consider giving to this worthwhile cause and upon your return, see what your help has achieved.
