Very convenient and central location in centre of Brodick, very close to ferry terminal. Great view of mountains Great for a budget last minute trip (like ours) Compact apartment with well equipped kitchen. Plenty heaters to keep you warm and cosy.

Need to bring own toiletries although we did have some washing up liquid and hand wash left by previous guests. Would be good to have some cleaning facilities inside/for the loo.

Location was excellent and owner was very friendly and helpful. Great that there is parking and near the shop. Views were fabulous.

A tiny, fairly irrelevant thing for us as we are a family, but if people were staying and needing privacy in a bedroom it may be more of an issue. The master bedroom door didn't shut well properly. It probably needs rehung. Whilst it's self catering, little additions would go a long way e g. Additional toilet roll, dish towel, a pair of scissors etc. But these are really small things for improvement and didnt impact our stay.

Great location, excellent value for money

Nothing not to like

Loved the location right across from the water beach and shops within a few minutes walk ferry terminal couple of minutes walk or a 1 minute drive bus stop next to the property never had breakfast as it's self catering large garden outside with plenty of tables and chairs would be lovely in the summer for sitting in the sun vending machine next door for fresh milk and eggs and vegetables in summer bakery a 5 minute walk away opens at 7am and a cooperative shop and butchers just across from the bakery bike hire next door and a beach bar 15 minutes walk away

Kitchen needing some TLC but has everything you need

The location is stunning with beautiful views of Goatfell. We brought bikes on the ferry so it was handy being near to the ferry terminal. The apartment was well equipped enabling us to cook there sometimes and eat out at others. The host was helpful and friendly. The resident dog, Clyde, is lovely! Would definitely stay there again. It's really good value for money

Whoever was staying upstairs from us was a bit noisy well into the early hours of the morning. I didn't mention this to the host though. The doors within the apartment could do with some attention to make them shut more effectively. This is a minor detail though and certainly didn't spoil our stay

Location was fantastic - a short walk from the ferry, views out across the water and mountains, and a park across the road with picnic tables. An old-fashioned seaside hotel appeal. The helpful host let us leave our luggage after we checked out until the ferry departure. It even had laundry facilities. It was also near Food COOP, and bus stops.

The only things I can suggest is a towel rack in the bathroom and another couple of dishtowels (only one provided).

Wonderful location, right by the shore, just a short distance from the ferry terminal. Great sea views. Good value for Arran, which is overall an expensive island. There's a lot to like here, as long as you read the reviews and manage your expectations accordingly.

A few small things could make the place more appealing, including simple repairs, bit of redecorating, emptying the overflowing ashtray by the entrance door etc. The building and backyard in general needs some tlc.

Great location and view, spacious, has all the basics that are needed. The staff are friendly and flexible with additional requests. Great value for what you pay. We were in the cottage. Full kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine and fridge/freezer is great. We will definitely be booking again.

Bedrooms were slightly cold (we had a baby so were focused on this) with mini portable heaters. No heating in the bathroom. The lounge area is very warm. Curtains very thin letting light in easily in the morning - light sleepers would want a sleep mask. Overall the inside fittings and exterior of the building are a little old and tired - but if you know what to expect it’s not a big deal.

We didn't really know what to expect. I had looked for a couple of dog friendly rooms somewhere in Brodick and came across the Shorehouse. When I booked it did say I booked 2 apartments but I didn't expect to actually get proper apartments with kitchen etc. We had 2 apartments, both had everything you would expect to find in an apartment. Both were very clean, and the beds were comfortable . Jim and his dog were very welcoming, not just towards us but also our dogs. The house is right by the shore, a very short walk to a lovely beach, a few minutes walk from the ferry terminal, very close to shops, restaurants and bars, crazy golf, bike hire. We didn't use it, but there is also a seating area in the reception hall with games and books.

Nothing

Excellent value. Whole studio apartment. Clean comfy. Near ferry terminal and shops. Peacefully. Entrance from reception or directly outside. Good kitchen with cooker and microwave private bathroom with electric shower. Comply lounge area with big TV. Building a bit shabby from outside but don't let that fool you. Only two things I could fault. Couldn't get the hot water to work in the kitchen but that's probably just me and you could hear people walking upstairs. Apart from that amazing.
