Very enjoyable time spent in Arran, only thing I would point out is entry time of 5 pm is quite late for our first day and also having to leave property by 10 am on our last day kind of cut down holiday time.,

We really enjoyed our stay in Larkfield. The cottage is generally very spacious with lots of room for guests' food and belongings. The only slight drawback is that the kitchen worktop area is very limited due to the design of the property. Being on a main road was no problem, it did not disturb us at all. Lamlash Bay Hotel and Little Rock Cafe in Brodick are highly recommended.

A lovely cottage, warm, welcoming clean and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen and good quality handwash and shower gels provided. Very handy if you have forgotten to bring your own! Good location, with an easy walk into Lamlash, and close to bus stops for trips further afield. We used buses for all our trips out, and we had no problems, getting round the island. Would be happy to stay at Larkfield again.
