Guests say
Harbour View House is a spacious and well-renovated property with a hot tub and close proximity to the beach. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and the property's outside space. The local area offers a great chip shop, an Indian restaurant, and is ideal for exploring nearby attractions like Culzean Castle and Arran.
The property generally maintains good cleanliness, though there was an instance of leftover food found, which suggests room for improvement.
The location offers easy access to local amenities and the beach, but some guests felt the town of Girvan was run down and noted noise from a busy road.
Guests found the property spacious and comfortable, with a huge sofa and comfortable beds, although one guest suggested an additional shower would be ideal.
The property is well-equipped with a hot tub and kitchen amenities, but some guests experienced issues with the heating and internet-connected TVs.
While guests mentioned a welcome pack, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of thoughtfulness across all stays, and such gifts are not guaranteed.

This is an older house and whilst the house was fine the location felt run down, just like the town of Girvan in general. Should have done more research into the area. None of the TV's would connect to the internet, especially needed as we were caught in storm Amy weather, forcing us to stay indoors. However we felt relaxed in the house. Great chip shop and a terrific Indian restaurant just around the corner.

Good communication from Yvonne prior to our stay. Arrived late and was very pleased to see the welcome pack.The house is very well equipped with all the extra little things to make your stay effortless.The hot tub was clean and ready to use!Couldn’t work out how to get the heating on, but the owners were extremely helpful and soon pointed out the thermostat.Could have done with a shower in the main bathroom perhaps to make it perfect.Ideal place for exploring the area.
