Guests say
Kinneil Land is praised for its stunning location and proximity to local amenities, including a fantastic pub and café. The property offers spacious bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and a large garden, making it ideal for families and pets. Guests have enjoyed the views and the overall experience, despite some minor issues with maintenance and comfort.
The property was generally found to be clean, though some guests noted issues such as toilet brushes needing replacement and the presence of slugs. The cleanliness seems to have declined slightly on a return visit according to one guest.
The location is consistently highlighted as a major selling point, with stunning views and easy access to local shops, pubs, and restaurants. The proximity to the beach and a quiet pub with excellent food is particularly appreciated.
Guests have found the beds to be firm and the sofa bed uncomfortable for a child. Some furniture and cushions are noted as being past their best. However, the spaciousness and views somewhat compensate for these issues.
The property is well-equipped, but there are several maintenance issues mentioned, such as problems with heating instructions, broken bathroom fixtures, and windows not closing properly. The lack of logs for the fire and slow WiFi were also noted.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness category. Therefore, this score is set to null.

Kinneil Land is a wonderful property in a stunning, peaceful location. There are numerous walks from the door and many others just a short drive away. The cottage is very well equipped and the bedrooms are spacious with ample storage space. The Drift Inn next door is fantastic - we ate there twice and the food and service are both excellent. A short walk along the road you can find a wonderful The Old Pier Café serving great coffee, breakfast and lunch. Our only quibble is that the instructions for the heating and hot water were sadly lacking. We struggled to over ride the system and it was only by trial and error that we managed to turn it on and warm the house during our stay. We did speak to an advisor on the phone and then agreed we would pop to the office in Brodick to report it. The office is not to be found at the address given in the folder and in fact there doesn’t appear to be a cottages.com office there. The Brodick office phone number is a call centre. Communication could I believe have been better.

Kinneiland is a well equipped modern bungalow in a wonderful location. The views from the windows compensate for some of the shortcomings in the house. It is marketed as sleeping 8 but in fact there are only proper beds for 6. There is a sofa bed which could sleep 1 child but it was so uncomfortable for our 3year old granddaughter that she ended up sleeping on a blow up mattress. It would not accommodate 8adults with the existing beds.The kitchen was excellent and very well equipped. Some of the furniture, cushions and bed linen are well past their best and should be renewed. Although the house was generally clean the toilet brushes badly need to be replaced. Easy walking distance from shops pubs and restaurants.

The main selling point of this house is the location. The view from the sitting room is stunning and we easily sat for hours just looking at it. Luckily we had some good weather and could sit outside and look at it too! Also, being next to the Drift Inn, which is an excellent pub, (more of a restaurant really) was a real asset. And not remotely noisy. We had some very good meals there. There were some niggles though. The double beds were very firm, one of them in particular was like sleeping on the floor! The dish washer was full of stuff so needed unloading, I had to sweep the bedroom floor as there were lots of little stones around, the shelf in the main bathroom shower was broken so it was hard to store your gel etc, and the other shower had no shelf at all, the toilet seat was also wobbly in the main bathroom. There were slugs in the utility room but also the kitchen as the bread bin top was covered in slug trails. There was no heating on the whole time so towels couldn't dry and had to be put in the utility room (with the slugs) to dry. It got quite nippy over the week, and there were no logs even though it said in the description there would be, some of the windows didn't fully close which didn't help. The instructions for the rubbish were contradictory, the information in general needs updating. There were also no extra bin bags. Additionally, although not in the description, there wasn't so much as a pint of milk left for us, which I think is a first in all the years we've holidayed in the UK. As our ferry had been cancelled, and we had to drive all the way to Claonaig to sail to Lochranza instead, a cup of tea when we eventually arrived would have been very welcome. We did have a good time, and as I've said, the property has an amazing location, but I feel it's perhaps a bit reliant on this and for the price I'd have expected a little bit more.
