Excellent location just off the bay/ beach front at Lamlash. Excellent views of the Holy Isle and close to all local amenities like the Co-op round the corner and lovely restaurants and shops. Couldn't have asked for a better base from which to explore the island and climb Goatfell. Easy to access with good parking accommodation and plenty of space. The downstairs apartment is super comfy and relaxed with two separate bathrooms for toilet and bath/shower and access to an outside yard from the kitchen. Kitchen was very well equipped and easy to use and we were greatful for the clothes washing facilities. Great TV for cosy evenings with Netflix was a nice touch. Water was nice and hot and good pressure. Bed was as comfy and as big as it could've been in the given space. Heating was adequate for the time of year, with the supplementary electric heaters.

Front door was a bit hard to open/close or lock when required as instructed and we were worried about damaging it, though the door to the apartment itself was separate. The central heating as it was set on the temperature/timer didn't really suit our personal needs entirely but that is totally due to personal preference and easily managed with opening windows or putting on the extra heaters for the time of year, but not sure what it would be like in peak summer or winter. Bed was a little softer and smaller than what we are used to as my partner is a lot bigger than me and we rolled around a bit but we slept absolutely fine. Kitchen could've done with maybe another tea towel or some kitchen roll available. Only other thing is that from the seemingly slightly outdated description and pictures the window in the room is now smaller and therefore less natural light than expected and the bathroom didn't in fact have the jet/bubble tub bath anymore (which I was looking forward to as a fan of baths). Some of the tap fixtures and fittings were a bit strange and not the easiest to use as the mixers didn't work or the taps were hard to switch on/off consistently.

Location was fab. Very clean, comfortable and cozy. Well equipped kitchen, everything we needed was there (even washing up liquid and hand soap in bathroom/toilet). Olivia got in touch with us to make sure everything was okay which I thought was really nice.

We didn't dislike anything at all. Only suggestion would be a wee table lamp in livingroom.

Super helpful hosts, fantastic location just a stone's throw from the beach. Lovely touches in the decor, everything you need for a convenient, comfortable stay.

Neat accommodation with everything you require

Fantastic location

It was really warm in the flat! Bit tricky to get air flowing through, though a fan is provided in the lounge and double bedroom has ceiling fan.

Lamlash less crowded than Brodick and had good grocery shop, pubs and restaurants. Accommodation was well equipped and modern. Owners were very friendly and helpful.

Could be noisy from upstairs apartment. This wasn't because the upstairs visitors were noisy, it was due to design of building and plumbing.
