The house was in great location. Easy walk to town and inlet. The house was well equipped for our stay.

Weekend in Inverloch.
On first appearance the property was fresh and clean. However, things like the bathroom window and exhaust fan,taps and a few other things need attention. The couch in the main living area is very uncomfortable as was the mattress we slept on. We are both in our 70’s and having the shower over the bath could have been a problem for people our age, being informed before hand would have been better. The backyard was great for our 2 dogs, plenty of room for them to run around and play as well as space undercover for their crates that they sleep in over night.

Very disappointed
Very disappointing, main bedroom was in an outside shed which was not mentioned in the listing. The bathroom that serviced this room could only be accessed by going back outside.
Sky light in inside bathroom not sealed around edges which resulted in the place being full of bugs. we only stayed 1 night and left the following morning.
Very dissapointing

Hi Jackie,
We are very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the property, unfortunately the layout of the property is written in the description as it is very hard to depict this just with photos. We have passed on the maintenance issue regarding the skylight to the owners of the property to have this rectified, thankyou for bringing this to our attention.
Kind regards Abbey Alex Scott
This property has all you need for a casual beach getaway. Great for 2 families, well situated, walking distance to the main shops
