Travelled with another couple for a 2night stay in Irvine and we had 2 out of the 3 available cottage rooms. Great accommodation with easy parking and access. Sits at the back of a house with rooms to let from the same host.  …

These are lovely little studios, decorated nicely with some outdoor space. Booked for two nights, stayed in Studio 1. We loved having the outdoor space and the room was large, big shower cubicle, has a table and two chairs indoors, with the same outdoors, small fridge & usual tea tray, kettle, tea & coffee.We would stay here again, but the mattresses would need upgrading first, absolutely solid, I arrived home today and went to bed as I'd had 20 mins sleep! May suit others, just not for us.

We stayed here on our recent visit home because we had been very disappointed with a previous visit in a local hotel. The Irvine bay studios were excellent. The room was nicely decorated and everything was clean. …

Nick is so nice who is only to happy to help if you need him
