“Amazing place for a chillaxing weekend away”
Lovely home from home feeling. Clean and well equipped with everything you need. The decor the views from all windows are amazing especially the book corner (my favourite chair) open plan was good. The fire was a plus especially on the cold nights. Bedrooms were so clean and fresh great views also.

“A comfortable base for touring the area.”
We were self catering and the facilities were more than enough for our stay plus the flat is two minutes walk down to the restaurants and the chippie. There’s lots of everything you need and then some in the flat which is well furnished, has great views out over the sea with binoculars included, you can heat the place, if required, with central heating, a coal fire, or both. A seating area outside catches the sun all afternoon and into the evening. There are multiple tv options, dvd’s, books to read, games for the kids and even a box of goodies for them. Emma and Hamish live nearby and will respond to any requests you may have. A great area for touring and Gowan Bank is an ideal base.

The whole accommodation was excellent and the views were fantastic. Handy to walk down to the pub and the fish restaurant instead of driving elsewhere to eat after a 6hour drive.
