10/10 Excellent

Wonderful waterside stay
Had a great couple of nights chilling out - just me and my grown up son. Lovely place, awesome location. All you need. So peaceful and calm. Fire on the beach at night. Recommend popping into the FIVE WEST cafe in Tighnabruich. There's also a scruffy looking hotel that does quality meals. Wee charity and antique shop too.

6/10 Okay

Nice cottage.
This was a nice cottage but the beds were very uncomfortable. The mattress was thin and felt like you were sleeping on the metal. I was not comfortable here and did not stay the entire time that I booked for.
Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023
