Fantastic family house, with exceptional views over the bay.Great social/dining space. Kitchen plenty dishes, glasses, serving bowls etc.Only a couple of small things...Would have been nice to have a chair in 2nd upstairs bedroom beside vanity table. Also a mirror in each room.We were there for a party and there was no full length mirror in property.Also... Possibly a 2nd blue bin? These only get emptied every 2 weeks and it was already half full when we got there.Would definately recommend, amazing comfy beds and a great upstairs showers..We will return

A lovely week on Arran. Great house with a modern & clean interior. A good well maintained interior is important to me when booking a holiday rental. I want to feel comfortable, a home away from home. The house location is great. We loved being able to walk to the shops & taking the dog for walks along the beach to Arran Botanical. It is a rather steep hill up to the house, which some people with mobility issues might find a challenge. Our 3 year old managed the hill ok though. We are already planning our return! 2 very minor but helpful additions to the house would be shower mats & a new rotary clothing dryer for the garden.
