Poppy & Bridget, our Chocolate Labradors were 3 years of age in 2006 when they first visited the island. Our base for the holiday was the Kilmichael Hotel on the outskirts of Brodick. We had a daily three-mile early morning walk from the hotel into Brodick and along the coast, a swim in the sea and back to the hotel before breakfast. During the day we would visit Glen Sannox, or Glen Rosa for some excellent valley walks as well as all the coastal villages and hamlets for walks along the beaches and swims in the sea, often followed by afternoon teas in many of the small cafes around the island. An excellent island to visit with the dogs and many happy memories.
