"Wow this place is immaculate! Arrived and received clear instructions how to access the property, was blown away with how clean it was. Beautiful location on the largely overlooked west side of the island, with loads of cool things nearby like the Kings Caves, Cafe Thyme, and only a 15 min walk to the Kinloch Hotel which has a nice bar where you can sit at the window and watch the sunset over the sea. It is the perfect location to base yourself to explore Arran. The chalet has loads of character, is really cosy, and has everything you need to enjoy a family holiday. Dealing with Kris the host was a breeze and you can tell he really takes care of the place. I would definitely recommend here to stay and hope to get time to come back again."

"Lovely location, room enough for 2 people and had everything we needed. Sitting onside looking over the waters to Bute was very peaceful, had a very relaxing week. Hosts were available if needed but did not intrude. Only suggestion would be to swop out tv for a freely Internet TV as Internet very good on the premises and existing TV not good for reliableconsistent reception got no signal quite often in the evenings."
