Maureen Guest
Our extended family are regular visitors to Corrie and Sannox. This house is perfectly located for us. It is able to cope with all the weathers that Arran offers! 8 of us including two primary aged children had a great time in August despite the rain and cloudy weather which was a wonderful contrast with the roasting conditions in England. The house is comfortable and well equipped and very clean.

Beautiful place to stay overlooking the sea. Very dog friendly and our dog loves being out in the garden whenever we got back after our days out. Beds very comfortable.

Beautiful home and perfect location for our stay in Arran. Short drive to any amenities, spectacular view to wake up to each day, and good walks locally for our dog.
