Cottage was nice & clean on arrival but very warm, was too warm at night and couldn’t have windows open due to noise from the road & pub right across the road (2 nights of our 3 night stay we had lots of noise from the pub until very late) The bedrooms are both on roadside of property. Nice beach nearby & good local shop, otherwise not much else in immediate area. Girvan not too much of a drive though. Surrounding area & coastline stunning.
