    The property was clean but, the bathroom sink plug was clogged and the water drained slowly, I cleaned hair and gunk out and put bleach down and it flowed much better. The shower plug/drain had not been cleaned in a while again clogged up, we cleaned it. The downstairs toilet light did not work, probably a new bulb needed. Better instructions for using the heating and hot water system would be appreciated, as well as how to use the cooker. A welcome pack with these instructions would be good . I was not given any instructions on what to do when leaving, do I strip the beds where do I put the washing, do I just put the key back in the key safe. Food had been left in the pantry, which could cause problems, condiments left were very useful though. I would book the property again as our holidays was really so relaxing and wonderful, many happy memories made.

  • Jane

    Close to town amenities and the views are spectacular. I highly recommend the home as well as Cambeltown

  • Ian

    It also benefitted from easy and walkable access to the local shops and Pubs. The Sunrises over Arran were spectacular most mornings, which complimented the good weather during our stay.
