Guests say
The Creagan offers stunning views and a fantastic location, making it a wonderful base for exploring Arran. Guests appreciate the spaciousness, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. The garden and outside space are highlights, especially for those travelling with dogs. While the cottage is clean and full of character, some areas could benefit from updating and minor repairs. Overall, visitors enjoy their stay and would return, valuing the charm and scenery above minor drawbacks.
The property is generally clean, though some guests noted issues such as cushion covers needing washing, a shower requiring a deep clean, and suspected mouse droppings. Most reviews found the house essentially clean, but there is room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its superb views, proximity to local amenities, and beautiful surroundings. The steep hill to access the cottage is mentioned, but guests quickly adapted and it did not detract from their enjoyment.
Guests found the beds comfortable and the house spacious, with plenty of room for families and dogs. Some minor issues with windows and the lack of a blind on a Velux window were noted, but overall comfort was rated highly.
The cottage is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and has good outdoor space. However, some maintenance issues were reported, such as non-working windows, extractor fan, leaking conservatory, and missing bulbs. Most issues were minor and some were promptly addressed.
There is no mention of welcome gifts or starter packs being provided, aside from one comment noting the absence of a starter pack of fuel as described in the listing. Therefore, a score cannot be given for this category.

The Creagan in Corrie is a traditional detached cottage, set in an elevated position, offering fabulous sea views. The village of Corrie runs along the east coast of Arran and is just 6 miles from the main village of Brodick. It is a common spot to watch seals bobbing around in the sea, and some lucky people will even catch a glimpse of a pod of dolphins at times.
This coastal property is located up a hill, just off the main road, allowing these wonderful, uninterrupted sea views to be enjoyed from the decking. Inside this cosy cottage, many traditional features have been retained, such as the internal doors, the wooden panelling, original roll-top bath and the open fire in the living room. The wood burner in the kitchen/dining area adds to the cottage feel, allowing guests to relax in a warm and cosy atmosphere. During the warmer months, you can open up the patio doors from the dining area out onto the decking, and bring the outside in. The decking is a great place to relax in the sun with a glass of wine, after enjoying an adventure around the Isle of Arran.
For those not wanting to travel too far, just wander down to the local hotel for some lunch and drinks in the seaside-located beer garden, or taste some seafood dishes in the local fish deli. Corrie also has a children’s play park, and the local village hall and hotel hold events and live music at times throughout the year. The Creagan at Corrie is also perfect for a weekend break. Beach 1 mile. Shop 6 miles, pub and restaurant 300 yards.

Well painted outside and sitting on the decking watching out iver the sea just fantastic. The views are superb, the local hotel good for food.Arran is an amazing island with so much to see

The house was well equipped, comfortable and essentially clean. We enjoyed our stay but the house needs a lot of TLC. Specifically 1) No blind on the Velux window in bedroom, essential in summer. 2) Two standard lamps need bulbs. 3) Conservatory leaks. 4) Shower needs a deep clean. 5) Suspected mouse droppings under bed upstairs.
