Traffic noise was the main problem! This went on all night with heavy wagons only a few metres away from the house! Previous occupier had left underwear and dirty socks that had not been found when cleaned! My daughter and her family left for home early as they could not sleep with the noise! The house was comfortable and the hot tub was great !unfortunately the town is very run down 😢.The beach was good and a lovely playground! We will not be going again!

Great location for a base. Beautifully decorated and hot tub in secluded area to the rear, which was a sun trap the week were there.Ideally situated, to explore the Ayrshire coast and Isle of Arran.Would thoroughly recommend it.
