Guests say
1 Hamilton Terrace is a well-equipped, cosy cottage in an excellent location, ideal for exploring Arran and close to local amenities. Guests consistently praise its warmth, spaciousness, and practicality, especially the kitchen and utility areas. While some areas, particularly the bathroom, would benefit from refurbishment and deeper cleaning, most guests found their stay comfortable and enjoyable. The cottage is considered good value and recommended for families and groups, with minor maintenance issues not detracting from the overall positive experience.
Several guests found the cottage clean and tidy, especially the kitchen and main living areas. However, multiple reviews mention issues such as cobwebs, mould in the bathroom, and a need for a deeper clean in some rooms. These mixed comments suggest cleanliness is generally acceptable but could be improved.
The location is highly praised, with guests appreciating its proximity to shops, restaurants, and attractions. The cottage serves as an excellent base for exploring Arran, with easy access to amenities and parking.
Guests found the cottage warm, cosy, and spacious, with comfortable beds and a good layout. Some mentioned issues with the downstairs bed and the bathroom affecting comfort, but overall, most found it a pleasant place to relax after days out.
The cottage is well-equipped, especially the kitchen and utility room, with plenty of utensils and appliances. Maintenance issues, particularly with the bathroom and some decor, were noted, but did not significantly impact most stays. The property would benefit from some refurbishment and regular TLC.
There are no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

We had a lovely week on Arran, showing our friends round the island on their first visit.No. 1 is in a great location for all local amenities Lamlash has to offer.It is good value for money, very well equipped and spacious for 4 adults. The property could do with a bit of tlc and there were a few wee issues which we reported to cottages.com for future guests but they didn't spoil our stay at all.

We know Arran extremely well and have stayed in some lovely cottages there. This was one of our favourites. Perfect spot, well equipped and warm even in February. Read some reviews saying the bathroom needs a refurb - it does ideally, however it was clean, the shower was hot and powerful and everything worked. I'll just say it didn't affect our lovely holiday one bit! Utility room great for drying wet boots as you could put them on the boiler. Had a problem with the boiler on one day and someone came out and sorted it within about 20 mins of calling. Also a problem with the back door, my main frustration with this though has been not being able to contact cottages.com more easily to ask them to let the owners know. The kids loved being so close to the Shiphouse which is their favourite shop for holiday sweets! Highly recommend the chippy menu at the Glenisle Hotel in front. Would definitely stay here again.
