The hosts' kindness, including treats for pets, adds a personal touch to the experience.
Reviews frequently mention the property being clean and cosy, suggesting a high standard of cleanliness. One negative review citing poor upkeep affects the score but does not overshadow the overall positive feedback.
The property's proximity to the beach and central location in Girvan are highlighted as major positives, indicating an excellent location for guests looking to explore the Ayrshire coast.
Guests find the living room comfortable and the property homely. However, comments about the compact bedroom and limited bed size suggest that while the property is comfortable, there is room for improvement in this area.
The well-equipped kitchen and functional bathroom are positives, but the lack of storage, absence of WiFi, and some maintenance issues such as a precarious shower rail and mouldy mastic lower the score for facilities and maintenance.
The hosts' attentiveness and thoughtful gestures, such as treats for pets and accommodating special requests, are well-received. However, it should be noted that such personal touches, while appreciated, may not be guaranteed for every stay.

Firstly the owners were super helpful ovely people in all respects, sorting out a couple of minor things very quickly and even bringing treats for our dog! We hadn't been to this part of Scotland before and were presently surprised by what it had to offer.The accommodation was a good sized newly decorated apartment with plenty of space in the living room. Situated not far from the beach which was great. The kitchen was well appointed and fully functional, bathroom, good with a shower cubicle. There was a lovely bonus, a shared garden which is large and has lots of seating, and also has a washing lineSlight negatives but not enough to spoil anything were: The bedroom was very compact, but the layout of the apartment wouldn't allow it to be otherwise. Clothes storage was a bit tricky, but the lovely landlady provided a clothes rail in the main room which helped. Some hanging pegs or a drying rack for wet towels would be a very useful addition in the bathroom as would some shelves. All in all, a super place for a reasonable price.

Had a lovely, peaceful bank holiday weekend at the sea- a quaint, clean, and well stocked cottage. Josephine made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves-she was so pleasant and attentive. Location is central to the beach, dog friendly pubs, and nostalgic amusement arcades.
