Just brilliant

My wife and I come to Millport every year. We love staying at the Look Out flat as it has the best views over the bays, small islands and the majestic Isle of Arran.

Doon the watter

Many happy childhood memories of a day in Millport when holidaying in Largs. Very pleasant situation at Kames Bay, further from the town, but handy for a dip in the sea. 38 steps up a spiral staircase to the flat, so travel light!, but a stunning view over the Bay to the Arran mountains. A cosy little flat with all the necessities for a quiet break

Fits the bill

Don't be put off any the tired exterior of Grove House. The apartment is well presented, well equipped though you must be prepared to climb 38 steps to get to this attic location. The upside is breathtaking views of the sea. Low star for communication is that although owner lives in ground floor there is no attempt to make personal contact. Odd.

Lovely little property beautifully presented. Fine for one or two people or perhaps three. Fantastic views and spotlessly clean. Nothing to complain about at all and wouldn’t hesitate to use it again.
