We had a wonderful week staying at Seagrass and wished we had booked for longer. Such a beautiful and welcoming home, great facilities and location. We didn’t use the whiskey bar but thought it was such a lovely touch, also the fire pit hut and use of equipment, all very thoughtful. We weren’t sure if the food in the freezer belonged to the owners or if previous holiday guests had left it there, so that would be our only slight comment in that we struggled to fit our own food in but didn’t want to throw anything out incase it belonged to the owners. Other than that, an absolutely perfect house and we had a wonderful time. We will definitely be back and would 100% recommend to others.

This is a well equipped cottage in a good location in Lamlash but we were very disappointed in the cleanliness and general state of the accommodation. On arrival we were met with bathrooms that had not been cleaned properly with filthy floors, pubic hairs and urine stains on the en suite floor. Items of clothing from the previous owner were left under the bed with dirty tissues. Recent dog stains on carpets and stains all over worn couches. The rental was advertised as sleeping 6 but the triple bunk beds in the third bedroom would only fit smaller children. Again in this bedroom there were dirty tissues down sides of beds, sweetie wrappers and stains. On leaving we were asked to strip the beds on which we were faced with faecal smears on the mattress cover !! Disgusting to say the least ! Would not recommend this unless they improve the general state and clean appropriately. For the expense of this would expect much higher standard. Very disappointed !
