The cottage generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness. However, one review mentioned finding an empty bottle and signs of damp and mould, suggesting a slight inconsistency in standards.
The location is consistently lauded for its beautiful sea views, proximity to the beach, and nearby coastal walks. The secure garden and local attractions add to the appeal.
Guests find the cottage warm, cosy, and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The presence of a piano and a secure garden for dogs also contribute to the overall comfort.
The property is praised for its well-stocked kitchen, including an air fryer, and the convenience of a washing machine. The mention of an EV charging point nearby is a modern amenity appreciated by guests.

Maidens is a lovely village. The beach couldn't be any closer, and walking up into Culzean from the beach is beautiful. We've been to this cottage before, and it was fantastic, equipped with everything you could possibly want or need. Plenty of hot water and towels. However, this year was not as good. The decorating is worn. I found an empty water bottle behind the piano, and there was damp in the main bedroom, near the window, as well as what appeared to be black mould behind the TV.
