Great location, steps away from the Corrie hotel for food and drinks and pool!Near to Brodick for shopping etc.We found the beds comfy enough.Great size house, plenty of space.Great enclosed garden .Near to the road but we were a party of adults so no concernHowever the maintenance of the house and some of the equipment needs attention.Hopefully these will be put right for future guests.Rubbish frying pan with the non stick coming off.Coffee machine wasn’t working / had to buy a decent cafeteria Couldn’t get the main oven to work Toilet cistern downstairs running water all night(took the top off and temporarily But we had a great holiday and would definitely return if I knew the various issues were addressed.

The house was a perfect size for us with great living space. The views are wonderful and it's so peaceful a deer and her fawn ate dropped apples from the tree in the back garden every day and swifts were nesting in the eves at the front. The kitchen is a little tired, downstairs bed uncomfortable. The rooms are a good size and 2 fridge freezers was useful ! A very peaceful setting.

Large property . Excellent accommodation for our multi generational family holiday. One possible warning is that there is a road right in front of the property but no gate at front of property .(understandable for ease of driving into the parking area at front of property). However we had to be fairly vigilant concerning having with us one dog and a three year old and a four year old , fortunately all three took head of our warnings to remain in the driveway unless with an adult. Lovely views. Nice area.
