Reviews

  • "A lovely break at Burncliff" 5/5

    Party of 7, my parents who are in their 80s, my 3 children in their 20s and my 8 month old granddaughter. I booked Burncliff because it reminded me of the farmhouse we used to stay in when we came to Arran during my childhood, it didn't disappoint. The location is fabulous, 10 minutes walk to the beach, the little bakehouse, Arran butcher and the hotel for a meal. Everything is provided for you, beds are comfortable, the kids thought the house was fabulous.

  • "Wonderful week at Burncliff." 5/5

    The house is in a great location with beautiful views across the Shiskine Valley and only fifteen minutes walk from the village amenities in Blackwaterfoot. Burncliff had everything we needed for our visit and was filled with character. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch. We are looking forward to booking Burncliff for another visit in future.

    “Fantastic house with a rich history. Great location, amazing surroundings. Excellent facilities - from antique bathtub to Aga cooking. Logfire in the living room. We enjoyed dining al fresco in the back garden, and exploring the house and its bookshelves. A wonderful stay overall, and very hospitable host.”

    “We had an amazing long weekend at Burncliff! The house is stunning and so spacious. Great heating and a cozy log burner. The owner was incredible and helped us with our special request for our little toddler. The surrounding area is simply beautiful. Can’t recommend enough.”
