The cottage is cosy, clean and very inviting. Shiskine is a wonderful place to stay, quiet and very appealing. It's very close to Blackwaterfoot, which is beautiful. The Kinloch Hotel does marvellous meals (takeaways too). What really makes the stay worthwhile is the landlady, Jan. Last year, when we couldn't get off the island due to ferry problems, Jan put us up for an extra with no charge. This year, the same problem occurred and, while we were at Lochranza, she texted me to check things were OK. I assured her we were going via Claonaig, but just the idea that she was thinking of us is above and beyond the call of duty. We'd thoroughly recommend this property to anyone. Visit Arran. Stay at Shiskine. You won't be disappointed.
A cosy, clean, well-equipped cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay on the Isle of Arran.
Excellent cimmunication with Janis, the host, throughout.
I would definitely recommend this lovely cottage to family and friends
Our host, Jan, really came through for us when a ferry mishap forced an extra day's stay on the island. She took it in her stride and moved us next door, without charge. I would definitely recommend this property and its owner. The island, by the way, is one of the friendliest places we've stayed, and that's saying something. Go to arran, book with Jan and you won't be disappointed.
