Wee Silverburn

The cottage was located in a quiet, elevated location above Whiting Bay. It was very homely and well equipped, particularly for self-catering. Products for cleaning, washing machine & dishwasher were provided as well as locally made bathroom products which were lovely. It was very easy to get around the island from here and access the local facilities and attractions.

The single track road to the property was in poor condition in a number of places so great care needed to be taken to avoid the pot holes.

We were disappointed that the house description didnt make clear that the third bedroom was accessed through the second bedroom and only separated by a partition. If it wasnt for that all the ratings would have been excellent, including how quickly the TV problems were sorted out

The house was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. It is very near the golf club where we played twice. The hosts were very communicative and helpful when needed.

The cottage had all the home comforts you would like for a perfect stay. Whiting Bay is a pretty location with a good local food shop and seafront café/restaurant serving excellent food. Everyone we met was pleasant and helpful.

We were using public transport so the walk up the hill to the cottage each end of day was, at times, a little testing!

My wife, our three young girls and I, had a lovely 10 day family stay at Wee Silverburn. The cottage was located a few minutes walk from the beach, was clean inside and had everything we needed for an enjoyable and comfortable holiday. It was an ideal location for us and we always enjoyed the walk back up the hill at night. We used the car for touring the whole island but used the bus when going to Brodick or Lamlash and the bus stop was also only a few minutes walk from the cottage. We found it to be quite spacious inside and also loved listening to the wee burn first thing in the morning or late at night.

Nothing really. We enjoyed it all.

This was a charming cottage on the beautiful island of Arran. Very close to Glenashdale falls by Whiting Bay and a good base to visit the island. Cottage was well equipped, rooms were large, heating was easy to use and cottage was warm. Spiral staircase was a lovely feature, with gate at top if needed. Owners made contact before arrival and left a nice wedding anniversary gift for us.

The main downside was access to property, which is up a very steep hill. Directions given for car took quite a long route round by golf course. A very steep hill down to village (tricky if you have any mobility issues). Main thing missing from kitchen was a basin in sink (a lot of the mugs aren't dishwasher safe). This didn't stop us from having a fabulous time on Arran!

Lovely little cottage, perfect location with plenty of amenities. Smallish kitchen; however we intended dining out every night and only really used for breakfast. Bedrooms are a good size, comfortable and clean. Large living room to relax at the end of a day. excellent parking, we comfortably had 2 cars parked and easy to manoeuvre. Washing machine outside was perfect for get cleaned up, potentially a drier would be ideal as there was limited times where it didn’t rain and would struggle to get things dried, thus said I always pack more than required. This was our final full family trip to Isle of Arran, with my parents getting older so thank you for the experience.

We love star gazing, me my mum and my son do this at home, the night skies are unbelievably clear and I would have loved to stay outside longer and later, however the neighbour does not take kindly to this. This is by no fault of the cottage, just pre-warn future guests, do not talk late at night outside otherwise grumpy chops will be out.

The utter peace and solitude. The thoughtful touches, like a Roberts Radio. The easy access to stunning Whiting Bay. Just what was needed! A bathroom that works is always nice... and this one did! So many books, games and maps!

Maybe the fridge could be a little bigger, but that is a tiny point.

Bath/shower does not drain well

Beautiful cottage in idyllic setting. Very peaceful. Great communication from the hosts with a personal touch. Just what we wanted.

Nothing.
