Thanks for your review. Hope to see you again at Mill Barn.
We had a great time at the barn conversation! The front patio area was lovely to sit in after a day of exploring and the accommodations were comfortable and clean. Ruth was very responsive and the washer and dryer were very much appreciated! Thanks for a great stay!

They were lovely guests. I recommend them and I would host them again.
Host was super friendly and helpful. The barn had everything we needed, warm and cosy too . Nice garden area that caught the sun all day . Relaxing g holiday all in
Just back from three night stay in this lovely property. Ruth was the perfect host and communication was perfect. Attention to detail was excellent in terms of directions, including leaving us a map to show us the road to take given the main string road was closed for repairs. The property itself is beautiful, clean and very homely. Everything you need to make it feel like home from home and a perfect base for exploring the beautiful Isle of Arran. A real bargain price wise too. We’ll defo be back. Thanks Ruth

Thanks David. A pleasure as always to have you and your family stay in my property.
Attended the Island to attend a music festival. Had previously been let down with other reservation as it had been sold prior to event. The owners of this property couldn’t have been more professional throughout. Spacious clean and well appointed dwelling. Central location and on a bus route.We all really enjoyed our trouble free stay. Were comfortable and totally relaxed and would highly recommend.

Thanks for your review Helen. I hope you can return to Mill Barn as you were great guests.
Lovely property. Very suitable for a family holiday. Everything you need is there and a lot of little extras which just make it perfect. Would not hesitate to recommend it. Ruth was a lovely host and even left a welcome gift of cheese and oatcakes which was very thoughtful.

John and Sally were wonderful guests who I recommend to stay. They left my property as they found it and were very respectful. I hope they stay again.
This is our second time staying at Mill barn and it won't be the last. Ruth is an excellent host and the property was spotless. Its got a lot of charm and character to it and is in a great location short drive from the beach at blackwaterfoot, a visit to King's caves or bellvue farm. Another excellent holiday with the kids. Can't recommend this place enough!

Dirk and his family were great guests. I would recommend them to stay in any property.
Had an amazing time on Arran, The Mill Barn was a perfect location to explore all around the island with everywhere within east driving distance. The bus from the Mill Barn to Blackwaterfoot was less than 5 min away ideal for going to The Kinloch Hotel for a drink or food.Mill Barn was spacious and everything catered for.Ruth was always in touch and was happy to accommodate check in and check out times which was really helpful. Would definitely venture back to Arran in the future.

Thanks for the review Fraser. I hope you will return in the future. Ruth
A good location for exploring the west of Arran. The property actually seemed more spacious than in the photos. Comfortable beds & 2 good showers. The kitchen is well equipped, should you wish to prepare & cook your own meals. Local buses pass the door which we used. Also very good riding stables 5 minutes away.

Lovely stay in a clean and spacious cottage. No noisy neighbours or much traffic noise. Good position from which to explore the island. Nice touch with the sample of cheese and oatcakes! Dog friendly, and a nice selection of DVD films to boot. Would thoroughly recommend.

Thanks David, for leaving my property clean and tidy. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. Ruth
This is a lovely property in Shiskine about 20 minutes from the ferry port at Brodick. Everything was as described and well prepared. The only thing we missed was an iron and maybe a welcome pack would be nice. Otherwise this is fantastic property and given it can sleep 7, great value. The owner, Ruth, was also very helpful.
