Fantastic find
Bird watchers paradise, 14 different types of bird in one morning. The cottage was perfect, the hosts where friendly and informative. The user manual was extremely comprehensive. There was every thing you need in the form of utensils. With comfy beds. Well positioned for everything we wanted to do. Dumfries House is a joy to visit, the Isle of Arran, beautiful, don’t bother taking a car over just use the buses to get right around the island. So many superlatives to use about our week and not one miserable person, everyone very helpful and friendly.

Fabulous stay
The Cart Shed is a really lovely place to stay with beautiful surroundings. It had everything we needed. The owners were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. We had a comfortable and relaxing stay. It was amazing to sit on the sofa looking out into the garden watching the woodpeckers, squirrels and chickens coming and going. Our elderly dog had a lovely time and wasn’t bothered about the chickens but a more lively dog might be difficult to manage as the garden isn’t fully enclosed. We loved it and would definitely like to return.
