Kinneil Self Catering

Lamlash bay is beautiful and the apartment is close to the village amenities. The apartment we had featured a great view of the bay and Holy Island

We were very disappointed with this booking and won't stay again or recommend. The owner did meet us to show us in the apartment and told us of a £75 deposit thats normally due but we don't need to pay, that was quite awkward. There really isn't a need to meet guests if that's all theyre going to do. The key code door lock is badly designed and difficult to open, a keys safe would be easier for all. The listing on here gives the impression the apartments have period features and the beautiful living room with leather sofas and wood fire is a key feature. Its not clear that only 1 apartment has this, and it wasnt the apartment we'd booked. The listing images are misleading and aren't up to date. The apartment is very outdated and cheaply finished. It's obvious that it's been many years since any decoration or upgrades have been done. It felt like a student dorm in terms of quality and for over £700 for a week really is below the expected quality and comfort. The kitchen had basic amentieis, fittings and utensils but lacked oven safe tins (the ceramic and glass dishes were there but no idea if safe for an oven). There wasn't any pint glasses or useful sized chopping boards. The furniture in the living room wasn't comfortable and the dining area is no more than bar stools and a bench. While I knew there was no WiFi there was no mention that mobile signal in the apartment wouldn't work either so researching activities and routes while there was tedious. Fortunately the local bars had WiFi. The bathroom was again very dated and needs modernising. The shower pressure was one of the worst I've experienced and for an active holiday of hiking was very disappointing. The final irritant that wasn't made known to us before booking was they expected us to hoover and clean the apartment before we left or we'd be charged for this. It's one thing to request leaving an apartment as you found it, i.e.

Location was excellent with a view out to Holy Island,

Would have been useful to provide a few more basics such as kitchen roll.

The location and the view

Poor shower and lack of internet. We couldn’t locate a hoover.

The views from this property are just stunning. Set within a beautiful Victorian House. Lamlash has some great eateries too.

Sympathie de la propriétaire, la vue imprenable sur holy island, le cachet de la maison. Tout y est pour passer un séjour sans manquer de rien. Prévoyez du liquide pour la caution à l’arrivée . Canapé hyper confortable ! Grand lit !

Rien, on a tout aimé ! On a juste eu un peu froid dans la cuisine mais du coup on a pris nos repas au salon avec vue sur l océan À noter : le réseau internet très fluctuant et parfois inexistant. La wifi serait un plus

Large and charming accommodation in a beautiful old house. The owners were responsive prior to arrival and very friendly and helpful when we were on site.

Nothing, but be aware it is an older house and has some quirks.

Fabulous location, accommodation with unique charm with original Victorian features and rustic feel. Friendly hosts.

Some may struggle without WiFi but it was a welcome escape for us.

Shower .. not tall enough for me
