Guests say
Anchorage Cottage is praised for its spaciousness, stunning views of Holy Isle, and peaceful location within walking distance to Lamlash amenities. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen and comfortable setting, though some suggest minor improvements in furnishings and linen quality.
The cottage is generally found to be very clean, with one guest noting exceptionally clean bathrooms. However, there was a mention of an unpleasant smell that improved after additional cleaning, suggesting a slight deduction.
The location is highly regarded for its tranquility, proximity to Lamlash, and beautiful views. The only minor drawback mentioned is the shared driveway, which caused some initial confusion.
The cottage is considered comfortable, with a home-like feel and a gas fire for chilly nights. Suggestions for a bigger rug, more modern sofa, and better bed linen indicate room for improvement in comfort.
Facilities are well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and utility room. However, guests have requested larger towels, and there are comments about chipped crockery and the need for heating more suited to colder weather.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

Known as Scotland in miniature, you can see dramatic coastlines, mountain peaks, beautiful beaches and majestic forests all in one day. It has an amazing food scene and there are distilleries for to sample a local drink or two. Even though close to the mainland and not far from Glasgow and Edinburgh, Arran feels like it is a world away.

We had a fantastic week at this cottage. Everything we needed and beautiful view of Holy Isle. Lovely spacious cottage for all the family. We have booked the same week again next year. Just a little request to make it perfect, please could we have new bigger towels.

Holidaying in October we did find the house cold at times. Heating more geared to summer weather. We didn't appreciate that the holiday cottage was located behind another property so there was a communal driveway which were not aware of when trying to locate the property. An excellent holiday cottage for a family.

Very spacious cottage with a lovely view of the Holy Isle. The kitchen especially is big and well equipped with lots of storage space and a utility room off. It felt like a home from home with lots of lovely art and a gas fire in the living room for chilly nights.A bigger rug and more modern sofa in there would have made it absolutely perfect!So completely quiet but only a 5/10 minute walk from the cafes and shops in Lamlash. We've already booked again for next year.
