    Lovely rooms, great location - would recommend!

    We had a slight issue in that the hot water did not come through the sink tap until after we had run the shower - we didn’t know this until later so my elderly mothers room had only slightly off cold water (she did not try the shower) - but for an overnight stay it was not a major issue. I would also suggest having an information sheet regarding the heating just to know what to turn the radiator dials to in case required

    Great location & lovely rooms, very spacious and good facilities included - fantastic use of the space! Would recommend & be happy to use again. Close to a lovely cafe for breakfast as well (Puffers)

    Great stay in lovely accommodation. Loved the outside area and being able to sit in the sun reading

    The only issue to raise was that this is the accommodation that you can hire if you have pets - which we didn't have a problem with - but a previous stay's pet had obviously pee'd in the accommodation because the smell was overpowering when we opened the room. Having said that we contacted the host and within minutes someone arrived to try to remedy the situation and the cleaners did an extra clean the next morning but the carpet is obviously needing a full clean. This would not stop us booking the accommodation with this host again because he obviously responds when issues are raised.

    Travelled with another couple for a 2night stay in Irvine and we had 2 out of the 3 available cottage rooms. Great accommodation with easy parking and access. Sits at the back of a house with rooms to let from the same host. Lovely, recently refurbed accommodation with a great small sitting area outside each of the rooms. Rooms have a fridge or wine fridge for keeping drinks cool which is a great addition. Bathroom has a roomy shower - which had good pressure.

    Small bug bear. Next doors dog entered our studio a couple of times and was barking the next morning or when we walked past. Not the biggest fan of pets allowed properties, although I will say, this one is pretty newly done by the looks of it and had no evidence of previous canine tenants so was no issue this time.

    Great location along harbour side. large room and large TV, room was very comfortable and well laid out. plenty of space and storage for what we needed. particularly liked the small patio area. all in all a good stay and would deffo return.

    Im not keen on Nescafe instant coffee so i didn't bother with the tea and coffee.

    Rooms were spacious, bed was very comfortable, location was great for parking, just anywhere you can find because there are no parking restrictions. Having the mini fridge in the room was great for keeping my drinks cold.

    The only disadvantage was that you could hear the underground late in the night and early in the morning and the street was a bit noisy sometimes.

    Very good localization, only 1 minute to the underground. The facilities were very good with comfortable beds. Highlight the outstanding service provided and communication. All the information was very detailed, clear and very helpful.

    It was quiet - after a stressful day - We had sold our home and the solicitor booked us in as it was pet friendly - and there had been a hiccup getting the keys of our new property. An ideal location and really enjoyed the early morning walk along the harbour.

    The only issue we encountered was that we decided to enjoy some drinks (mini bar fridge) this fridge is not working at all; our drinks were still warm in the morning. The light on the left hand of the bed was not functioning but this was not an issue.

    The location is really great with easy access to main shops / food outlets and pubs. Nice access to the promenade and good walks to the beach and surrounds.

    The floor was creaky

    It was vey handy to have the studio which made the stay very private. The size of the room was big enough and everything seemed new and very clean. Also the from of the studio had a small table with couple of chairs to get some fresh air if you would like to. The location is very good next to lrvine waterside walk and just about a lovely walk to the beach park ( which is amazing). The place is dog friendly so our dog had enough space to sleep since the room was quite big.

    The studio was rather dusty with a broken loo seat. We advised the owner who did say it'd be sorted.

    Great location. Well equipped for an overnight stay ahead of getting the ferry to Arran. Nick was a great host with helpful tips re good places to eat and drink.
