• "A well furnished and equipped apartment."

  Well situated with partial sea view, about 15 minutes walk from town centre. Comfortable, but a major problem if, like us, you like a bath. Hot water tank only supplies about i inch of water in bottom of bath! This should be advised to prospective guests. Also, oven operation wsa a bit tricky, but fifth-generation photocopied instructions were mostly illegible.

• "We were welcomed by Jane which is a nice touch & saved us a space in the car park as it is on first come takes the space."

  We had no problem with this. The apartment is in lovely place with the beach & park area at the bottom of the car park. There is also a ferry crossing to Isle of Combrae in Largs, & few miles away a ferry to Isle of Bute, both worth a visit. We had lovely weather which is a bonus. This is a beautiful part of Scotland.

• "A super place to stay!"

  Jane was so helpful and welcoming even though we were late due to the traffic in Glasgow. The apartment was home form home with everything you could think of and so thoughtful too. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We'd love to come back again. As we brought our road bikes it was ideal as we put them in the long lobby. Lots of fantastic places to explore on the bikes, especially Great Cumbrae via the ferry.

• "Cumbrae view was lovely and comfortable with everything we needed."

  Being a ground floor apartment it was perfect as we had my 89 year old mum with us. We had a couple of issues (cupboard door hinge loose and screw coming up through the flooring in the kitchen which could have caused a problem with someone catching it in their bare feet) but contacted Jane who came out the same day and sorted temporary fixes until she could get someone in to sort the flooring. Beds lovely and comfortable, kitchen well equipped, sofas comfy and the balcony an absolute delight as it had the sun on it until about 4pm - it helped that we were blessed with 7 days of sunshine (in early April). There are limited parking spaces outside the apartments but this wasn’t an issue as, if all the spaces are taken, there is easy, unrestricted parking on the road. Would definitely recommend the property.

  Thanks very much for your positive feedback and also for raising the couple of issues that you identified (loose kitchen cupboard hinge and protruding kitchen floor screw). the loose hinge has been secured and we are in the process of a arranging a flooring contractor to come out and fix the problem of the protruding screw. We are pleased that you had good weather for your week there and enjoyed the balcony, and also that the property suited your mother's stay. Hope to see you again sometime in the future.

  We were again very lucky with the weather and managed to get out for a walk along the shore every day. Took the train to Glasgow and went to the Kelvin Grove Gallery - well worth a visit. The apartment was as clean and comfortable as ever. Brilliant location for walking into Largs and along the coast. A big thank you to Jane as always. We hope to be back in the summer to visit relatives again .

  Jane was very helpful and showed us around, the apartment was lovely only downside was the car park it should have numbers in the bays so you know which one yours is and patio door was sticking, but we will come back it was like home from home and everyone you meet in the block was friendly

  The apartment is very well equipped and maintained and the bed is worthy of mention as it is very comfortable. Jane, who met us and promptly answered any queries which we had during the week, is lovely and the owners are very lucky to have her. Perhaps our age will probably mean that we won't undertake such a long journey in future but, if we do, we wouldn't dream of booking anywhere else. Many thanks. Bill&Ann Collin

  When we complained owners response was sorry about inconvenience and mess you found but hope you enjoyed largs and the surrounding area. Asked for refund or at least 50 percent. They eventually repaid 125 (no refund really considering we’d had enough and left the day before we were due to come home) Bad response from owners, but why would they care they live abroad. Have photos and emails to back up statement made. Would love to post them. At least hopefully the holidaymakers due in after us would not have to find what we did and company and owners cleaned up,their act. By the way the company they pay to clean only have an hour and half spot. That’s not long enough to do a thorough clean (they’re comment) not mine

• "Flat itself was ideal."

  Couldn’t fault cleanliness and well equipped. However the one big thing that let it down was temperature of hot water which resulted in guest scalding hand so badly that it has so far resulted in a 2 night hospital stay. Jane was informed of this who told me that plumbing had recently been checked and did offer to pick us up from hospital in Greenock, also further messages to check on guest. I feel that there should be signs up warning of possible high temperature coming from taps. Jane an absolute gem to the owners. Great communication and local knowledge.

• "Cumbrae view was a marvelous find, excellent location, very clean and everything you could wish for."

  Would recommend it to anyone. Short walk from Largs centre. Jane was so helpful and friendly when she showed us round. There were a couple of hiccups we did a load in the washer but couldn't get the tumble dryer programme to work. Also car parking was hit and miss, it being a very small car park. On the Thursday we all went out in our daughters car for the first time it had moved that week and noticed a dent in the drivers side wheel arch. It had got to have happened on the car park. She had parked in the last bay on the right-hand side. On our last day we noticed another car belonging to a nurse visiting flats also had a dent in exactly the same place. If you can avoid that parking bay. Having said all that we would go back there in future

  Thank you for your very positive feedback following your stay at Cumbrae View. We apologize for the lack of allocated off road parking; it is very much first come, first saved, and are also very sorry to hear about the damage to your daughter's car whilst it was parked on the complex.
