Burncliff is a wonderful holiday home. It is spacious yet warm, with all the amenities you could need. It was so quiet and the beds were so comfortable that I slept like a log every night. The beach, pub and shop are less than a ten minute walk down the road.

We stayed in this really interesting, historic farmhouse last week and had a wonderful time. The house is extremely well stocked, very warm with central heating and a wood burning stove, an Aga which is easy to use and keeps the kitchen cosy night and day, comfortable beds and plush carpeting. Perfect holiday home with great views and a mile from the best beach in Arran. Highly recommend Burncliff 👌
