Overview
Property code: 76168

Soak up the sea views across splendid Whitling Bay while sipping your morning coffee from the property’s enclosed balcony. This villa is the perfect place to gather together all your bonny sailors, up to three four-legged ones included! Just a 10-minute walk away, stroll along the easily accessible beach as your hounds have a ball exploring the sights and smells.

This nautical detached property is the perfect place to cook up a storm in its open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner space (accessed via steep stairs). With a plethora of modern appliances, this is the perfect place for everyone to feel right at home. The only fight will be who gets the stylish double bedroom with a sea view. This property is certainly the ‘mutts’! One of the two cosy lounges boasts an open fire - the perfect place to warm up your paws; curl up in front of a film or play one of the many board games available. Take the entertainment outdoors with a large patio area to be enjoyed; sizzle a sausage or spot a shooting star as you toast a wee dram or roast chestnuts in this accommodation that will lighten even the darkest of nights.

The island is a ‘nirvana’ for outdoor enthusiasts; sniff out the outstanding wildlife, flora and fauna as you navigate its 56-mile circumference. Climb up through a wooded glen to view the beautiful Glenashdale Falls; this 3-mile circular walk is under a mile away and leads you to the Neolithic Giant's Graves – two chambered cairns overlooking the Bay and Holy Island with plenty of picnic spots along the way to rest weary paws. Brodick Castle lies only 10 miles away and is happy to allow hounds to lead the way through their impressive country parks trails and woodland walks galore. There’s also an epic woodland play park for all age family fun.

Good location. Great that the place accepts dogs but the garden is not enclosed so eyes on needed at all times when pooches are in the garden.

-The cabin bedroom with single bed is not suitable for young children. It is a high bed squeezed into an airing cupboard with a slatted see-through door and no curtain on the roof window. We had to move the mattress to the floor of another room for our 2yr old to be safe. -The property has been finished to a low standard looking like a diy job. It Read moreis in need of a renovation. Overall not what we were expecting for the price. However it was very clean and in a good location. Hide

Cottage has so much potential but needs investment to realise. Overall cleanliness was poor- dog hai everywhere. Guttering unattached and kept our child awake. Balcony unsafe due to rotting balustrade . Kitchen and bathroom in general need of an upgrade snd deep clean. Generally aged and in dire need of attention. Vastly overpriced for condition ofRead more property. Hide

A lovely holiday house in a great position which was spotlessly clean, with everything we required for a perfect holiday. Comfortable beds and we loved the upstairs lounge and balcony. We hope to return.

Cottage is in an excellent quiet location in whiting bay. Ideal for exploring and the beach is only 30 seconds away. Property has everything you need in terms of equipment and is an excellent size. There was 6 adults, a dog and a 1yr old and there was plenty of room. We also brought 3 cars and there is plenty of space for parking. Property does neeRead mored a bit of an update, but we really enjoyed our stay here. Hide

This property was very disappointing. Its in a very poor state of repair and was not clean on our arrival. Crumbs on the counter, dirty cups in the cupboard, rusty kitchen equipment, stained mattress, paint chipped and dirty. Tatty and overpriced. We won't be using this company or this cottage again and wouldn't recommend to anyone.
