2nd visit to Mcaras View & can't fault the location. Easy to get to & well placed to easily get around the IslandLodge was clean & tidy & the grandchildren loved the Highland cows in the field opposite.Both check in & check out were very easy & everything was excellent Thanks again
Family stay for a long weekend before the schhols go back... absolutely loved it, the surroundings are beautiful ( Pheasant's, Red Squirrels etc) and the property itself was fantastic ... we loved every part of it.. hoping to stay again soon.
We really enjoyed our stay. The property was as advertised and had everything we needed for our break. The communication from the owner was good and he helped us quickly when required. The location is peaceful and we would recommend this lodge to others.
Wonderful Island and a great lodge with a view which was the perfect basis for our hiking as well as our destillery tours. I can highly recommend Kris' lodge!
We had a fabulous stay at the lodge. So peaceful and well appointed. The interior is so tasteful and comfortable, and has everything you need. We enjoyed watching a variety of wildlife whilst relaxing on the deck. Kris was a great host and we will be back!
A home away from home. Our second stay at this fantastic lodge within 3 months. Our first trip was as a family with 3 young children and the most recent trip with my father and sister. Everything you could need ever need inside and outside from childrenâs colouring and games to condiments to views of the sea and the most beautiful starry nights. A welcome bottle of wine and chocolate on arrival and Kris was a fantastic host. Thank you very much, hopefully we will be back again very soon
Lodge had everything we needed for perfect stay, great views. Managed to see the red squirrel & the Highland cows at the bottom of the drive. Kris was great, allowed us to check in earlier as we got an early boat. Everything spotless & tidy. Recommend to everyone if you need a place to stay
The title describes everything. Very well appointed, warm and welcoming. The perfect quiet retreat to come back to after a day spent exploring.
One of the features of Arran is its wildlife and the lodge has cheeky inquisitive red squirrels all around. A treat of a retreat!
Overall v clean and pleasant but having no towels available was an experience ! Just assumed there would be towels at the lodge ,maybe host could remind visitors to bring towels
Thank you
Like all the reviews have said, the house was spotless and had everything we needed. We had 2 red squirrels passing in the morning, a pheasant, rabbits, and bird song. The swallows had arrived too and were very entertaining!
Thank you to Kris for making our 3 day break so relaxing and we will definitely return. Janet and Duncan, Ayr
The lodge was exceptionally clean and so much care taken to provide everything we could possible need. We had a contest to see which of us could discover something we might have used - we came up with one item, but even so managed perfectly well without it! The extra items, like hand washes, hand creams, and room fresheners, were so welcome - as was the âwelcomeâ gift.
We had a brilliant time staying at Mcaras View. The lodge was well equipped with everything we needed, including little things that we had forgotten. All in all, it was an excellent base for exploring the island.
Wir hatten fĂŒr die Familie fĂŒr 4 Tage ausreichend Platz, alles sauber. Mit dem
Auto konnte man gut AusflĂŒge in die Umgebung machen. Sehr netter und unkomplizierter gastegeber.
We had a lovely stay in this beautiful place. The whole island is spectacular, Blackwaterfoot and Mcaras View are a perfect, quiet corner of the island. The lodge itself was perfect for the four of us as a base for a few days (which wasn't long enough, but we'll be back!)
Es ist wirklich alles vorhanden, was man brauchen kann, von Kleenex ĂŒber Saftpresse zu GlĂ€tteisen.
Sehr sauber und gemĂŒtlich.
In ruhiger Lage, schöne Aussicht.
Danke fĂŒr Sweeties und die Flasche Wein!
Einziger Verbesserungsvorschlag: die Bereitstellung von HandtĂŒchern wĂ€re toll. Aber darauf wurde vorher hingewiesen, sodass wir welche dabei hatten.
Beautiful property with all the comforts of home. The setting was perfect and not far from Brodick and even closer to Blackwaterfoot. Clean cabin with ramp or steps. Large TV and all the kitchen supplies you would need. The only thing to know before you go, is this property does not provide bath Towels but that IS listed in the aminities online, i just failed to read it. Host was great and responded quickly to any questions we had! Would definitely stay again.
We come to Arran every year (2 adults, 2 children ages 8&6) and often stay in Lochranza but went for a change this year. We found this wonderful lodge in quiet surroundings which is a short walk from Blackwaterfoot where there is a nice beach. It's also close to Kings Caves for a short, flat-ish hike which we all thoroughly enjoyed. We used the lodge as a good base to go for bike rides as well as a bit further afield - Goat Fell, Brodick Castle and up towards Loch Tanna near Catacol.
The lodge itself is superbly equipped with everything you could possibly need! Everything is spotlessly clean, and is one of those places that feels cosy and warm. We had Kris's number for any questions, and he left the key for us to easily get into the lodge. The welcome gifts were very well received - thank you!! It was a lovely cosy place to come back to in the chilly evenings and relax in the peaceful surroundings.
Thank you to our hosts for providing such a warm and welcoming place to spend a few days of adventuring!
Well furnished. Everything provided for self-catering, which I did due to Covid. I found the area very quiet which is what I wanted. Probably a lot busier in the Summer.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Mcaras View. It was cosy clean and very comfortable. The location was quiet and private and a very nice 15 minute walk to Blackwaterfoot. The lodge had everything you would need for a holiday and we would highly recommend it. Will definitely be back.
