A fantastic holiday home, perfect location to explore the island and see some local wildlife. The spacious house was great for our extended family with enough room for everyone to feel comfortable for the week. The red squirrels in the garden were the icing on the cake for our wildlife loving family. We will definitely visit again.

Great location, steps away from the Corrie hotel for food and drinks and pool!Near to Brodick for shopping etc.We found the beds comfy enough.Great size house, plenty of space.Great enclosed garden .Near to the road but we were a party of adults so no concernHowever the maintenance of the house and some of the equipment needs attention.Hopefully these will be put right for future guests.Rubbish frying pan with the non stick coming off.Coffee machine wasn’t working / had to buy a decent cafeteria Couldn’t get the main oven to work Toilet cistern downstairs running water all night(took the top off and temporarily But we had a great holiday and would definitely return if I knew the various issues were addressed.
