Parking issues due to neighbours are noted.
The property is consistently described as clean, indicating good housekeeping standards. However, a few guests mentioned that certain areas could benefit from more thorough cleaning or updating.
The location is praised for its stunning views and proximity to local shops and the ferry terminal. The steep hill and parking issues caused by neighbours are minor drawbacks.

This comfortable detached property is located in a quiet cul-de-sac, yet in close proximity to the centre of Brodick.

This is a lovely house in a good location (is up a steep hill though). It could be doing with a bit of a renovation here and there however it's clean and comfortable. The view of Goatfell is tremendous and the garden is great.

We had a brilliant week in sunny Arran and The Willows is an excellent base from which to explore this beautiful island. The house has everything you need for a family holiday - washing machine, comfy beds, lovely outdoor area, a good kitchen and THE most amazing view from the living room window. Outstanding! I would honestly recommend The Willows but … I feel that the house needs a bit of a refresh and makeover as it feels a wee bit outdated, with certain things needed replaced/fixed/thoroughly cleaned. Overall 6/10 for The Willows.
