One of the biggest problems was communication with cottages.com.There was no cot weather this was arranged or not communication wasn't good..Although there was everything you needed at the cottage for a toddler the cot was behind a locked door and it took 3 days and numerous amounts of phone calls and a great amount of time because of hanging on all the time to get the door unlocked. Very disappointed with communication..

Very enjoyable time spent in Arran, only thing I would point out is entry time of 5 pm is quite late for our first day and also having to leave property by 10 am on our last day kind of cut down holiday time.,
