Fantastic property with everything you could possibly need and more....great location to explore the whole of the island and beautiful in the evening taking a stroll to the centre of Lamlash and to sit on one of the many seats overlooking the sea. Just brilliant!One small detail to share is that it was so hot in Arran last week, we could have done with a Venetian Blind or a Vertical Blind on the living room window. There are very heavy beautiful curtains on the window but we didn't want to completely shut out the beautiful evening light. It would help with privacy too as, from the street outside, you could see into the living room, through to the kitchen and out into the garden beyond...although a quiet spot, lots of people were passing by because of the hot weather, out walking their dogs and off to the beach etc with surf boards.

Lovely comfortable house which is very clean and spacious. Lovely touches eg Arran Sense of Scotland hand washes. Well equipped with pots and dishes. Lovely garden with the stream running along the back. Very quiet street and good location.
