Niche View - Stunning 2 bedroom apartment Irvine

10/10 Excellent

"A nicely maintained and well furnished property in a convenient location in Irvine, which is on the west coast of Ayrshire. We were a party of 4 and this two bedroom apartment was ideal for us. The bedding and linen were all clean. The property was on the second floor of its block and there is no lift which was not an issue for us but may be worth knowing if you travel with much luggage.We found the location to be a good base for visiting the surrounding area. A car is probably essential though we took the train to Glasgow which was reasonably easy and not too expensive. There are several shops and restaurants within walking distance and others a short drive away. The only minor issues were that there was no tea towel in the property which we would have expected, and we also ran out of toilet rolls which was easily rectified. We would definitely stay here again"

Irvine Riverside Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay a will stay agen "
