Confirmed Guest
Lovely holiday flat. Would happily stay again visiting my family in lsle of Bute.. very close to everything. Less than 5 mins walk to sea, pubs, restaurants, train station, ferry. Great kitchen so we could eat in as well as out. Only downside was the front door it’s very hard to shut it without it slamming as it’s so heavy. We did it most times we did it quietly, but a couple times we couldn’t stop it. It’s the same for all the people in the block. Everyone tries but the old slam does happen. Also I couldn’t work out which recycling bins were for the flat as I wasn’t marked like the main bin . So I just recycled the rubbish correctly in perhaps a neighbour S bin?!?!? Sorry if I did. Perfect other wise.

The flat was very comfortable, especially the bed. The shower was really good and powerful . We didn't really use the facilities in the kitchen but it was well stocked with utilities and spotless. It was just a five minute walk to the sea and the shops and restaurants. We enjoyed a meal in the Spanish pub/ restaurant at the bottom of the street.
