Location incredible

Absolutely perfect cottage with everything needed to suit my mum’s disabilities. Jane couldn’t be more helpful in ensuring our stay was comfortable and relaxing. We particularly enjoyed the country views from the sun room in the evenings and were lucky enough to have gorgeous weather to enjoy the garden. An excellent selection of books and board games was a thoughtful touch. Although they didn’t stay , my young grandchildren visited for the day and I was delighted to find children’s crockery and cutlery with a cute little high chair so they could join us at the table ! Jane really has thought of everything and we will definitely look to re-book in the future.

Beautiful well equiped cottage for a relaxing break

The apartment is relatively large, light and furnished to a high quality. There is ample space to store clothes and food. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped, and it is clear that a lot of thought has gone into what guests might actually need. The views from the living room are lovely. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. There are good walks nearby and it is an excellent base for exploring the region especially as as the Isles of Arran and Bute are near.
