Great cottage, excellent facilities, convenient location for walking into Lamlash which has very good options for eating and drinking, I would recommend the cottage with a couple of caveats, first information on the cottage requires updating, wi-fi, rubbish collection information (2019 info on fridge) was all wrong or out of date, secondly we struggled to find information on the fire which we needed on the first night as the “host” had not turned the night storage heaters on before our arrival and the cottage was very cold on arrival!Also we had issues with the smoke alarms and could not find spare batteries.All minor issues that only slightly detract from what a nice cottage Larkfield is!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Larkfield. It was very comfortable and had everything you need for a great stay. It was nice to stay out of Brodick, so a bit quieter, and, if only the weather had been kinder to us, we would have made use of the patio at the front of the house. If we come back to Arran we would definitely considered staying at Larkfield again.
