Guests say
Guests are charmed by the idyllic location of North Segganwell - Culzean Castle, with its stunning views and proximity to the beach and castle grounds. The recent refurbishments have been appreciated, enhancing the comfort of this cosy cottage. While some guests mentioned minor issues with facilities and maintenance, the overall experience is one of tranquility and enjoyment, particularly for those seeking a picturesque and romantic getaway.
Cleanliness
The cottage is generally described as clean and comfortable. There are isolated mentions of a dirty carpet and a dusty fire guard, but these seem to be exceptions rather than the rule. The majority of guests found the property to be well-kept.
Location
The location is consistently praised as stunning, idyllic, and perfect, with direct beach access and the grounds of Culzean Castle enhancing the experience. The views and peacefulness contribute to a highly rated location.
Comfort
Guests find the cottage cosy and the bed comfortable, with the recent refurbishments adding to the comfort level. However, there are comments about an uncomfortable mattress and the need for better heating control, which slightly lower the score.
Facilities
Facilities are well-received post-refurbishment, but there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as parking problems, lack of outdoor seating, and the need for sharper kitchen knives. The absence of a washing machine and the condition of the steps are noted concerns.
Thoughtfulness
Some guests mention a welcome pack, but find it lacking compared to other properties, suggesting room for improvement in thoughtfulness. It should be noted that while welcome gifts can enhance the experience, they are not guaranteed and may vary.
About this property
Once home to the estate workers of the National Trust for Scotland’s Culzean Castle, including William Kirkland, a shepherd who lived here with his wife and four children, North Segganwell now offers a beautiful, beachfront base from which to explore this desirable area of Scotland. An all ground floor abode sitting on the outskirts of the charming town of Maybole, there is no better choice for your retreat to Scotland. Make your way down the numerous steps to the front door of your homely holiday cottage; venture inside to discover the inviting living/dining room, lighting up the woodburning stove to bring a welcome warmth to the room in the winter months. Boasting a coastal theme that's in keeping with its location, as well as several traditional features that are a wonderful reminder of the cottage's past, North Segganwell offers a delightful escape at any time of year. Enjoy a homemade meal around the table with the assistance of the well equipped kitchen, or sit out on the beach with a picnic for a truly memorable moment with your companion. Discover a welcoming double bedroom where you can rest your head after fun filled days of exploration, served by a sparkling shower room where you can luxuriate in a rejuvenating rinse, making the perfect layout for a couple. Surrounded by 600 miles of stunning woodland and gardens, as well as offering three miles of coast to explore, North Segganwell is a truly perfect choice for your couple’s escape.
