Most guests found the property clean and tidy, though a few mentioned issues such as slugs, leftover dishwasher contents, and some furnishings needing renewal. Cleanliness was generally good but not consistently excellent.
The location is universally praised for its stunning views, peaceful setting, and easy access to walks, the beach, and local amenities. The proximity to the Drift Inn and village shops is a major highlight.
Guests found the cottage spacious and generally comfortable, but some mentioned firm beds, uncomfortable sofas, and low settees. The property is suitable for families and those with mobility needs, though a few improvements could enhance comfort.
The cottage is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, but some maintenance issues were noted, such as broken windows, missing oven trays, and temperamental appliances. Heating instructions and information packs could be clearer and more up to date.

This property has is a stunning location. However, better management of the cottage is desirable. Unlike most holiday cottages there is no welcome pack, and no milk for a cup of tea on arrival. The second bedroom has a permanently steamed up window which obscures the stunning view. There are no baking trays for the oven. The sofas are not very comfortable. The dishwasher is temperamental (and was left half full from the previous user). While the Cottage info. states that the dishwasher manual is left in a drawer it’s not there or anywhere else. The Information on refuse disposal days is contradictory. Unusually, there’s no owner or cleaner for a customer to contact and ask questions. The information pack and notices look as though they have not been updated since covid and the Wi-Fi number is wrong. Being directly managed by Cottages.com is unusual and it means that it’s difficult to speak to anyone outside office hours. However, it really does have a stunning location and it makes a great base to explore the island. It would be so much more welcoming and relaxing if the information pack etc. was updated and the cottage was more effectively managed.

Kinnell land was perfect location the views from the sitting room though large window and garden are lovely, house has everything we could possibly need spacious, comfortable and great base to see the lovely Arran.The cherry on top is having the Drift inn next door great restaurant for food and pierhead tavern for a drink just down the road.One slight improvement would be sign on beach side of garden to make people aware private property so don't cross to get to Drift inn Already booked for next year
