Loved our stay at Arran View. The house was very comfortable, and the kitchen had everything you could need. Loved looking out to the Clyde. and watching the seagulls and oystercatchers. Sadly, we didn’t get to see any dolphins, but maybe next time! The only icing on the cake could’ve been if there was an EV charger - so many people have electric cars now through work and it did eat into our holiday a little bit, having to keep stopping at public chargers. Wemyss Bay was lovely and peaceful and barely any cars come past the property as it’s off the main route through the village. There was also a washing machine and tumble dryer, which was really useful. We really hope to come and visit again!
