Location
Coast restaurant benefits from a prominent trading position on Shore Road, within Whiting Bay on the extremely popular and picturesque Isle of Arran situated on the West Coast of Scotland. The restaurant sits on the shorefront at Whiting Bay Beach and enjoys fabulous views over the beach, Holy Isle and the Firth of Clyde. Whiting Bay is located on the South East corner of the island and provides many amenities including 2 general stores, newsagent, post office, pharmacy, hardware store and farm shop as well as a number of guest houses and a hotel. The village also has an 18 hole golf course as well as a primary school, with secondary schooling nearby at the newly constructed Lamlash High School.
The Isle of Arran itself, is approximately 60 miles round and is sometimes referred to as Scotland in miniature, as it is divided into highland and lowland areas. It is easily accessed by ferry, with regular crossings by Caledonian MacBrayne from Ardrossan, and is therefore extremely popular with both tourists and daytrippers. Offering some of the most spectacular scenery in Scotland, the island is popular with outdoor enthusiasts who can enjoy pursuits such as walking, climbing, cycling and fishing. It is also a golfer`s paradise with no fewer than seven golf courses on the Island. Other tourist attractions include Brodick Castle, Lochranza Distillery, Arran Heritage Museum and Arran Aromatics.

The Business
Our clients have owned and operated Coast for circa 4 years and in this time they have developed an enviable reputation for both food and service and have established a good regular customer base which is supplemented by the high levels of tourists and daytrippers who flock to the island particularly in the summer months and school holidays. Our clients` philosophy is to provide great food and drink, locally sourced where possible, in a comfortable and relaxed environment, boasting views that most restaurants can only dream of.
It is with much regret that our clients have decided to sell the business but they are relocating to the mainland to pursue other business opportunities.
