The decor was stylish and the location perfect for a short drive to walks and the pub. It was a delight and we would highly recommend staying here. Thank you for keeping such a lovely cottage , Jan. ##### Irene Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Jul 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Arran is an understated island gem and we’d chosen deliberately to rent somewhere relatively quiet but near to a small town or village. Little did we know just how well we’d chosen. Our characterful cottage had been converted and appointed to a very high spec - and, thanks to an ingenious extension, proved tardis-like to be much roomier than might appear at first blush from the outside. Everything was new and spotless and it was a real delight to enjoy a four-night stay there. The cottage is situated a couple of miles from the beautiful village of Blackwaterfoot - itself another island highlight. Give yourself a treat 😀. ##### Robert Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Derek Dec 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Derek Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023
