Wee Silverburn

A home from home

Pros: A home from home with all necessary comforts, kitchen equipment, lots of games, books for adults and children, and a useful selection of walking maps too! Good communication from host and also helpful neighbours.

Cons: Only toilet is down the spiral stairs, so need to take care if going during the night, but quickly got used to that.

Pros: The cottage was really lovely clean comfortable lovely 😍

Cons: My fault entirely but thought it was near the beach within a short walking distance but because I have health issues re needing new hip new knee wasn't suitable for me but otherwise was perfect

Pros: It was very comfortable and very handy for the golf course!

Cons: The spiral staircase is a bit tight - put us off the property a bit. Certainly wouldn’t come with our grandchildren. A shame because everything else was excellent.

Really enjoyed it and good accommodation.

Pros: Location was good. Self catering so bought in our own food. Quiet and near the golf club and the centre of Whiting Bay.

Cons: Porch needs some attention. We reported a wasps nest and bees getting in through an air vent. Garden needs cut back a bit and grass to be mown.

Comfortable, warm cottage in a great location

Pros: Cottage is spacious, comfortable & quiet, location is excellent, village has all the amenities you need & Brodick is only 15-20mins by car if necessary. Arran is easily accessible & therefore is busier than most Scottish islands but has a great deal that interests me, Machrie moor is a must see and there are many other prehistoric sites worth visiting.

A great place to stay and we would stay here again.

Pros: The cottage was located in a quiet, elevated location above Whiting Bay. It was very homely and well equipped, particularly for self-catering. Products for cleaning, washing machine & dishwasher were provided as well as locally made bathroom products which were lovely. It was very easy to get around the island from here and access the local facilities and attractions.

Cons: The single track road to the property was in poor condition in a number of places so great care needed to be taken to avoid the pot holes.

Very enjoyable stay!

Pros: The house was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. It is very near the golf club where we played twice. The hosts were very communicative and helpful when needed.

A delight!

Pros: The cottage had all the home comforts you would like for a perfect stay. Whiting Bay is a pretty location with a good local food shop and seafront café/restaurant serving excellent food. Everyone we met was pleasant and helpful.

Cons: We were using public transport so the walk up the hill to the cottage each end of day was, at times, a little testing!

We all had a great time in Wee Silverburn.

Pros: My wife, our three young girls and I, had a lovely 10 day family stay at Wee Silverburn. The cottage was located a few minutes walk from the beach, was clean inside and had everything we needed for an enjoyable and comfortable holiday. It was an ideal location for us and we always enjoyed the walk back up the hill at night. We used the car for touring the whole island but used the bus when going to Brodick or Lamlash and the bus stop was also only a few minutes walk from the cottage. We found it to be quite spacious inside and also loved listening to the wee burn first thing in the morning or late at night.

Cons: Nothing really. We enjoyed it all.

Charming cottage (up steep hill), near Glenashdale falls

Pros: This was a charming cottage on the beautiful island of Arran. Very close to Glenashdale falls by Whiting Bay and a good base to visit the island. Cottage was well equipped, rooms were large, heating was easy to use and cottage was warm. Spiral staircase was a lovely feature, with gate at top if needed. Owners made contact before arrival and left a nice wedding anniversary gift for us.

Cons: The main downside was access to property, which is up a very steep hill. Directions given for car took quite a long route round by golf course. A very steep hill down to village (tricky if you have any mobility issues). Main thing missing from kitchen was a basin in sink (a lot of the mugs aren't dishwasher safe). This didn't stop us from having a fabulous time on Arran!
