This was a lovely, cozy place to stay during our holiday to Arran.

This was a lovely, cozy place to stay during our holiday to Arran. The hosts were very warm and welcoming and the top-floor apartment where we stayed was very well maintained (the log burner and infrared heaters were particularly good!). The Kirk is in a great location with lots of lovely walks and a cafe a stone's throw away. I'd highly recommend staying here, and hopefully will be back in the future.
