  This property could be spectacular but there were far too many issues for us during our stay in September 2023.

  Positives - The view from the property is absolutely spectacular, all the rooms are very spacious, the kitchen is reasonably well equipped. Negatives - On arrival the windows were open the property was very cold, the boiler was in an error state and it took a while to work out how to solve this, we eventually worked out it was due to no pressure in the boiler. There is no information in the property and we had to text the host for the WiFi password, there is also no information on the recycling procedure, how the Nest system works or what should be done on check out in relation to bed sheets etc. The kitchen is extremely tired with paint wearing off the units, the tap is loose, and in addition the bid lid was very dirty and we found a dirty tray in the oven covered in grease and food detritus. All the windows in the property were filthy. There is a leak in the lounge ceiling during heavy rain. The radiator in the bathroom leaks which pools on the bathroom floor. The curtains in the lounge come off the runner if you shut them as there is a gap in the curtain rail. The lamp in the lounge had a two pin plug so was useless. The paint on the walls are very stained in places. The rug in the lounge is a trip hazard as it has a permanent ruck in it. The parking is very compromised - we struggled to turn cars (we came in two) around at the top of the drive as the person in the downstairs flat didn’t park considerately leaving extremely limited room - in addition the ground surrounding the parking area is unstable and one of our party nearly broke their ankle as the ground collapsed next to the log when they exited the car.

  We've stayed in a few holiday lets in Dunoon over the past four years and this was a lovely place to stay with panoramic views across the West Bay.

  We immediately felt at home and the views were stunning. We stayed for a week and had a great time. Beds were very comfy with lovely bedlinen and it was warm and clean on arrival.Big spacious rooms so it was lovely to have a good central heating system when needed! The shower was great with good pressure. We loved it there and would book again in a heartbeat. Only points we would make are that the drive is very steep though which may impact on other guests who are less mobile or who are less confident about driving up and down it. We also noticed there was no grill pan or oven trays in the kitchen.A few garden chairs or a bench outside the front door would be a bonus too.These were minor issues for us as we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Can recommend and we will be back!

  We loved our stay at Mars Hill lower.

  It is a beautiful, spacious apartment with outstanding views over the harbour. The furnishing is quirky and fun. The apartment was clean, warm, and everything we needed was easy to use. Kitchen equipment was more than fine for simple cooking, though perhaps not for fine dining! Dunoon itself is a fantastic base to reach the nearby Cowal hills - which was our reason for the visit. The only small issue we had was that we had driven up with our small camper van (Hyundai i800) which doesn’t have a great turning circle - making it very difficult to turn around on the relatively small drive up at the house. We elected to park on the street instead, though probably would have been fine in a smaller car.

  There was an issue with the combi boiler.

  My husband had to continually reset it or there was no hot water. This aside it is a beautiful property, very tastefully refurbed and decorated. The bed, seating is very comfortable and the shower brilliant, very powerful. The drive is a bit of a challenge, so much so we left the car on the road below but the views more than made up for it. Worth noting though it is not for anyone with mobility problems if your car is on the road. The drive is extremely steep and would pose difficult to navigate on foot.

  Absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Mars Hill Lower.

  As soon as we entered this place we straight away loved it. Deco is lovely. Furniture is lovely….We loved the four posted bed!! But the only fault we found was the , Dining room is too far from the kitchen. Breath taking views !! Unfortunately we won’t be back as there’s not much to do there or any shops!! But we miss the house we stayed in.
