Wee Silverburn

Beautiful property. Perfect for our family. Hosts were really helpful.

Nothing

Das Haus war sehr gemütlich. Uns haben besonders die Ohrensessel gefallen. Jeder hatte Platz, um sich zurückziehen zu können. Es haben sich alle sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Küche war wirklich üppig ausgestattet. Das habe ich so bisher in keiner Unterkunft vorgefunden. Es war wirklich alles vorhanden, was wir gebraucht haben und noch mehr. Der Wintergarten und die Möglichkeit sich rauszusetzen, waren toll. Es ist immer fantastisch, eine Waschmaschine zu haben.

Eine Kleinigkeit (den einen stört es, den anderen nicht): Die Leistung vom Staubsauger hätte etwas besser sein können. Das ist allerdings in Relation zu diesem tollen Haus nichts, wofür ich Punkte abziehe.

A home from home with all necessary comforts, kitchen equipment, lots of games, books for adults and children, and a useful selection of walking maps too! Good communication from host and also helpful neighbours.

Only toilet is down the spiral stairs, so need to take care if going during the night, but quickly got used to that.

The cottage was really lovely clean comfortable lovely 😍

My fault entirely but thought it was near the beach within a short walking distance but because I have health issues re needing new hip new knee wasn't suitable for me but otherwise was perfect

It was very comfortable and very handy for the golf course!

The spiral staircase is a bit tight - put us off the property a bit. Certainly wouldn’t come with our grandchildren. A shame because everything else was excellent.

The location is above/overlooking the pretty village of Whiting Bay. 5-7 mins walk down a lane to the village. The hill is very steep so getting back up takes a bit longer with a bit more effort, but we are regular walkers so no problem for us. 7 mins drive/bus to Lamlash and 15 min drive/bus to Brodick. The bus stop is at the bottom of the lane and the service on the island is one of the best we have experienced in our travels around Scotland. Owners communication was excellent. Including directions on how to get to the cottage by car which was a little tricky driving up a single track/pot holed lane and without the directions I would have never found it! Really large cottage with front room and back room/dining room area. 3 bedrooms (although we only needed the one, it would be ideal for larger families), As well as a conservatory and a garden. Kitchen had pretty much every thing we would need for our stay. Private car parking. Overall, a very decent cottage for a holiday.

Not really a dislike as such but we would have loved to have sat outside in the garden more in the evenings (we had mostly nice weather on our holiday!) but as the cottage is right next to a another property without much boundary and has local residents it felt a bit uncomfortable. We did go down to the beach a lot of nights with a bottle instead which was lovely.

Location was good. Self catering so bought in our own food. Quiet and near the golf club and the centre of Whiting Bay.

Porch needs some attention. We reported a wasps nest and bees getting in through an air vent. Garden needs cut back a bit and grass to be mown.

Cottage is spacious, comfortable & quiet, location is excellent, village has all the amenities you need & Brodick is only 15-20mins by car if necessary. Arran is easily accessible & therefore is busier than most Scottish islands but has a great deal that interests me, Machrie moor is a must see and there are many other prehistoric sites worth visiting.
