Cromla Cottage

The location and the quirkiness of the cottage.

The wet bathroom felt like a mini-clubhouse changing room, and smelled like that, too.

The cottage was spacious, with good facilities in the kitchen.

The drive was impossible to drive our car up. Once inside, the house smelt very strongly of around 12 sachets/bottles of air freshener- it made us feel a bit sick. Without them the house smelt bad, damp and unpleasant. The shower in the larger bathroom was just a trickle and hardly usable. The shower in the ensuite was also little more than a trickle, and because the house was so damp the bathroom floor stayed wet for around 18-20 hours (wet room type bathroom). There was evidence of black mould having been wiped away. There were no batteries in the blu-ray remote control, and no offer to deliver any, so we could not watch a movie as planned. We got soaked one afternoon, and had hoped to have a fire in the log burner - hardly any logs and no matches. Alan told us the previous guests must have taken them. Due to the house being so cold and damp our shoes and clothes stayed wet the rest of the time we were there. We had the electric heaters turned on but they were useless. The double bed upstairs was okay, but the twin beds downstairs had strange, very smelly foam ‘mattresses’ placed upon the normal mattresses and there was torn bedding. We were really disappointed, and don’t really understand how Cromla Cottage has managed to get so many positive reviews.

Property was a good size and had everything we needed. Could easily accommodate 2 adults and 2 16/17 year olds. Lovely area and great views even on a damp weekend. Perfect location for exploring Arran.

I found the stairs unmanageable due to their steepness and my osteoarthritis in both knees but the twin room down stairs was a relief. The cottage does have quite a number of scented items that can cause issues/migraines for those sensitive to these things but opening windows and doors helped overcome this.

Lovely & cosy cottage with great facilities included & great location. Really enjoyed sitting with our tea looking out towards the sea! Alan was always quick to respond to any questions which was great.

I personally didn’t like the foam mattress on my bed as I have a bad back so it was far too soft for me but my son & mum said they were fine with them and had a good sleep.

it was pretty and well stocked with games and things for kids. Had a very nice vibe.

It was not cleaned properly. One of the beds had previous persons things in it. The floors were dirty and not vacuumed properly.

Good location, near to Corrie Hotel and beach. Good size for a group of 5 with 2 kids. Wi-Fi was good to have since Arran doesn’t have great signal.

Yellow room downstairs smelled of damp, the bathroom was disgusting - the tiles on the floor need seriously disinfected and proper drainage, the water didn’t drain away very well. We mopped the bathroom floor and the water in the bucket was brown. The divan trim sheets in yellow room were stained and a lot of dust & cobwebs. The upstairs snug duvet had questionable stains which looked like blood. Very overgrown path going up to the garden with thorny branches. Overall needs revamped & decorated. Lots of marks all over walls throughout home, very dusty and old cobwebs throughout most of house. Very tired looking & just disappointing as looked forward to this. Barely any fairy lights work either as kids were excited for that. Dining area was nicest part of cottage.

Beautiful cottage that had everything you needed. Handy location as well. Would be great for families or like in our case with close friends.
