Bright and Beautiful

On arrival there was mixed feelings the food left was much appreciated and very nice.

Also would like to thank the owner allowing our 4dogs to stay. We found the place very clinical without the cleanliness. I had to give some of the cupboards and utensils in them ie pans a good clean. The windows were filthy inside and out. When we left we always where ever we stay take off all bedding well lets just say if i had known how badly stained the quilts and pillows were i would have gone out and buy new. My dogs sleep on better also it wasnt very disabled friendly with shower or bath also furniture was very low to sit on felt as if we were sitting on the floor there were no rugs except little mats which were sliding about very dangerous for disabled people. Not homely it felt not welcoming at all. All toilet seats were broken and not fit for use there was no information on how to work tv,washing machine or dishwasher and no dryer at all except a clothes horse. Needless to say we won't be returning.

A lovely detached bungalow with off road parking in a pleasant area of Alloway near Ayr, The welcome pack was the best we have had so far from Sykes hosts.

The house is spacious and Wifi/TV very good, the remainder of the facilities are adequate. there is a good Coop connivence store a short walk away with a decent fish and chip shop next door to the Coop, The sea front is also easy to reach on foot via a traffic free walkway, with access to Ayr via a seafront walkway and within a few minute drive are two good Municipal golf courses. There were some maintenance issue with the property that was reported directly to the host, the instruction for the cooker and other kitchen equipment was not available. The wardrobe in the second bedroom (not used) was almost inaccessible due to the sliding door being only able to partially open and the hanging rail shall we say it bit odd!

Beautiful home in fantastic location.

Perfect for families. Quiet private garden, walking distance to beach and shops. Great base for exploring Ayrshire and beyond. Bedrooms were comfortable, kitchen well equipped and host left lovely selection of sandwiches, traybakes for us on arrival which was very appreciated after a day of traveling. Could not of asked for more. Thank you so much xoxo

Nice bungalow and area but we experienced many issues with zero support from Sykes!

On the Saturday arrival we found the bungalow had a terrible smell, on the Tuesday we found 3 bags of rotten potatoes in the kitchen cupboard with the pots and pans, there was also a broken pot lid with glass we had to tidy up. The back grass was a disgrace, overgrown with nettles which was terrible for our 2 small dogs and dangerous. The outdoor furniture was also filthy, no way was that cleaned for our arrival. A stranger appeared suddenly at our back open patio the day prior to leaving to cut the grass. Why no knock at our door? Disrespectful. Another very bad part of our stay was that none of the bedroom windows had curtains or any sort of cover on them, far too light from around 5am. We felt the middle bedroom mattress was lumpy and needs changing. There was also sweet papers and an old sock in the drawers. Again, not checked. We also had to clean the living room sofas. Also, why did we arrive with the outside bins full? In summary, we considered the property was poorly prepared and checked for our stay. At least the tenants after us had the grass cut and empty bins, we didn't which is very poor. The state of the garden actually ruined our stay. Lovely area and only a few miles from Ayr town centre. We tried to contact Sykes throughout our stay, we're still waiting days after our return home. We'd also like an explanation from owners!!!!!

Clean and comfortable.

Quiet location and Ideal for exploring the Ayrshire area. Secure garden enabled our dog and granddaughter to play outside without any worries. Bungalow was well equipped but would benefit from a selection of glasses such as pint, half pint and tumblers in my opinion. (Minor issue) Really appreciated the 'afternoon tea' welcome pack. It was delicious. All in all a great place to stay.

We have been coming to Bright &Beautiful as a family for over 14 years and each year we can’t wait to return perfect house in perfect location

Excellent accommodation with all facilities that you need for stress free break.

Situated close to attractions and coastline, also perfect location for other areas of interest yet peaceful enough to relax. This was our third visit and still as good as the first. Thoroughly enjoyable. Stan

Bright and beautiful provided us with a very peaceful and relaxing holiday.

Location was good for the beach, getting in to Ayr and loads of other places to visit. The local chippy was excellent and only 5 minutes away. The coop had most things that we needed. The dog loved the beach.

We absolutely loved our stay at Bright and Beautiful.

The bungalow was beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. When we arrived we were delighted to find a fantastic complimentary afternoon tea, which was a very welcomed treat. There was everything you could need while on holiday. A real home from home! The beds were very comfortable and my son particularly enjoyed the whirlpool bath. The enclosed garden was tidy and large enough for our dog to explore and we enjoyed sitting outside in the sunshine. We had fabulous weather every day!! Bright and Beautiful is in a fantastic location, within easy reach of Glasgow, Edinburgh and so many other wonderful places of interest! We would definitely recommend Bright and Beautiful to anyone seeking a stay in a lovely home from home in a peaceful, quiet neighbourhood.

Nice bungalow in a good location, bonus is the Sky TV package (same as ours) so it was easy to operate.

Bright and Beautiful was looking a bit tired and would definitely benefit from a good spring clean.

Being in Scotland and not knowing what the weather would be like having Sky TV was a definite plus for us.

Lovely little bungalow, would stay again.

The property is located in a quiet location at the far end of the cul-de-sac. Good enclosed garden, great for children and pets. Dishwasher in the kitchen is only a table top size so doesn't fit many dishes.

A very quite location and spacious accommodation.

Afternoon tea was a nice touch left for us. We would book again but only if feedback was taken onboard and actioned Highchair and cot stored in the garage, meaning cot was damp. We left the two items in the house. Highchair was dirty, cleaner was not even awre the was a cot and highchair. Mattress incorrect for cotwith gaps around it. Dishwasher is a table topsixe struggling toget 3 plates 3 bowls and 3 mugs in it. Not suitable for 6 people. Heating can be turned up, but reverts back to 18 degrees so constant turning up. Kitchen utensil could have review as a few items not a very good quality e.g. blunt knives. No shelf in ensuite and only small towels Sykes did not provide a contact details of owner and Sykes poor at response.

This property is a comfortable, small home in a very quiet residential area of Ayr.

It has enough parking for 2-3 cars and a fenced backyard which will be great for people with a dog or children. We certainly appreciated the tea tray provided with sandwiches, cakes, etc - a very nice touch. We found the kitchen to be well equipped for meal preparation, though the pots/pans were rather old. The Living Room couches were comfortable and the room itself was huge. One additional floor lamp would be a good addition. The beds were generally good, though the mattress in the Master suite was too soft for my liking. The house was generally clean, particularly good in the bathrooms. We had no real complaints and I think for the price this was decent value. In my experience with rentals though, I would class this as fairly basic, functional, no-frills accommodation, but certainly adequate for most.

Wonderful place, clean and bright.

facilities above expectations. We used the wifi easily which was a "plus" point for us. Kitchen well appointed. Plus easy parking for 2 cars.

We enjoyed our stay, and being so close to all the town's amenities made our stay even better.

The cottage is situated in a lovely housing estate and is easy to find. Its enclosed garden was a huge bonus for our dog, who loved the freedom to roam without us worrying about her safety. Though a little tired and in need of freshened decor, the cottage was tastefully furnished and well-appointed with most things you could wish for; however, a pair of scissors would have been handy. But perhaps we just did not see or find them. The tray of sandwiches, cake and scones with butter and jam on arrival was a very nice, thoughtful and appreciated touch after our journey. However, the constantly running cistern in the main bathroom was a little annoying, but it did not affect our stay. Stephen, the cleaner, was aware of the problem as he texted me at 6.44 am on Friday to ask if it was still running, and he would get a plumber out to look at it. (If he was aware of the problem, why had a plumber not been called earlier?) The beds in the cottage were very comfortable, and for the most part, the property was acceptably clean; however, the bed in the master bedroom with the ensuite shower, once stripped of bedding, showed a very heavily soiled quilt and mattress with what looked like both urine, blood and other stains. The thin mattress protector had not saved it from soiling and was also heavily stained. While we realise quilts and mattresses cannot be changed between each booking, the extent of the soiling I felt in this instance did warrant replacing both. There was a mattress protector on the double bed in the second bedroom as well, which showed slight staining, but had done its job in keeping the bed cleaner. However, the use of moisture-proof mattress protectors would alleviate this and be a cost-effective measure to protect mattresses, which are expensive to replace. Baking trays in the kitchen cupboard had been used and replaced without having been washed, and were covered in grease. Again, I realise that with the time constraints between departing and arriving guests, it is difficult to always manage to clean the property fully, and on the surface, things looked good, but the property would benefit from a deeper, more thorough cleaning regularly. A couple of things which we discovered which may be useful after having stayed in the cottage were an overhead shower in the bathroom, as having just one shower in the ensuite is limiting, not everyone likes to take a bath. That said, the jacuzzi bath was super and something I appreciated, having lower back discomfort from driving. A table lamp, as well as the stylish floor lamp in the living room, would be good for reading. A hairdryer for the ladies would again have been a useful addition. As I am self-employed and have to keep in constant touch with work, it was disappointing that the WiFi password in the welcome notes, which were comprehensive, had worn away on both the notes and the BT Router, which meant I could not get an internet connection and had to use my phone to piggy back the internet on my laptop, a small detail but for guests who need internet access an important detail. We very much enjoyed our stay in the cottage, its location in the town close to all amenities, and would have no hesitation in booking again.

This place was so homely and had everything we needed.

The garden is very secure, too. Everywhere was really clean and the beds were comfy.

Lovely cottage couldn't ask for better.

Spacious. Close to public transport and beach. Afternoon tea for us on arrival such nice thought.

This was our third stay at Bright and Beautiful.

Our stay was as enjoyable as the last two. Great location. Lovely accommodation with plenty of space. A large enclosed garden out back and plenty of parking on the front. Beach, golf and huge dog friendly parks all on the doorstep!! What’s not to love.

Lovely property and everything you need.

Could do with scissors for the kitchen. Bath sheets instead of bath towels as we are all not skinny. Otherwise was lovely and everything we needed and had a lovely peaceful holiday

Lovely welcoming bungalow with a private secure garden.

Plenty of room, dog friendlÿ, in a quiet area and would definitely go back.

Been to the cottage before and loved the position so near beach for the dog.

Lovely and clean and afternoon tea is a real bonus after travelling for hours. Having Sky tv is also a plus for us . Would def recomend Bright and Beautiful . Great value for money .

A beautiful property with a genuinely safe and enclosed garden for the dogs.

Very comfortable.

I enjoyed my stay and the sandwich,scones cake tray on arrival.

The bungalow is modern clean and comfortable with everything that I needed, easy parking and enclosed garden for my dog and lovely coastal walks near by.

A lovely bungalow, located in a wonderful location, just a short stroll from the sea.

Catered extremely well for our our furry family. Great secure rear garden for them to enjoy themselves. The bungalow itself was very clean and tidy with great facilities particularly in the kitchen. Overall, it made for a great week away. Thank you too the owner for the delicious welcome, Afternoon tea!! A lovely surprise. You would be hard pushed too find anywhere better too stay.

This was our second visit to the property and we enjoyed the first so much we booked again and had a future booking.

Property was tired in some aspects. Holes in walls caused by the blinds, no blind on front door so no privacy and electric fire surround detaching from wall. The worst part however was the cleanliness, food waste on hob from previous visitors , wrong kind of hairs on bathroom floor obviously not even hoovered ,dust covered cobwebs main bedroom and unpleasant aromas in living room. The worst however was a artificial flower arrangement infested with black mould in bedroom. Criticized heavily by Sykes/owner for cleaning it up ourselves. Our future booking was cancelled based on this visit at substantial cost to ourselves as Sykes refused to refund. Holiday was not enjoyed at all.

The bungalow was fabulous.

Spotlessly clean. Extremely comfortable. The only fault was that the hot water boiler couldn’t supply enough water to try out the fabulous spa bath. Apart from that very minor disappointment it was perfect. We will definitely be back and my brother is already planning to book. Thank you it was brilliant.

Inadequate dishwasher .

So well equipped and spacious comfortable and in a perfect location.

Hosts even left us a marvellous afternoon tea. Comfy bed and great shower and spa bath. Great for family and dog

Only qualm was mattresses very uncomfortable, I would definitely recommend taking mattress toppers, especially for childrens beds.

Well presented, some scuffing as expected in a dog friendly place. Lots to watch on tv so hardly minded that no dvd player. Dogs loved exploring the bushes in the garden which is v well enclosed and we had wonderful weather.

Lovely house.

It was well equipped, nicely furnished and very comfortable. Its location was very good with easy access to the beach. The house and location was very dog friendly.

Wonderful location.

Very comfortable throughout with very good facilities. Excellent garden for our 2 puppies. Phoned the owner about a minor problem who was helpful and very nice. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely clean, bright and comfortable bungalow in a lovely quiet safe neighbourhood.

It had everything we wanted and more, a tea of sandwiches, cake, milk, tea and coffee was kindly left for us along with all the things you would need washing up liquid, kitchen roll, toilet rolls etc. Dog friendly and an easy 10 minute walk to the beach or 20 minutes into Ayr, would highly recommend and will return ourselves in the future.

Beautiful house in great location.

I would happily live here! Just wee short drive from lots to do, lovely restaurants and shops. It’s very clean and well looked after. Nice wee afternoon tea in fridge on arrival which was much appreciated

A lovely house in a quiet location.

The kitchen is well equipped and there is a spacious and comfortable sitting room. We enjoyed the jacuzzi bath. My only suggestion for improvement would be some curtains in the bedrooms as the blinds occlude the early morning light.

the property was a lovely well kept clean place could not fault it.

it was a lovely surprise to find out the owners had left us afternoon tea of cake and biscuits. everything you needed for a stay was provided. lovely place to stay Ayr lots to see and places to visit. well worth a booking.

Back garden was a little overgrown on the slope.

It was difficult to keep track of the dogs when they went onto the slope

Really enjoyable stay in a well equipped cottage.

Lovely secure garden for the dogs too Definitely recommend

Amazing cottage, lots of cosy inside space, fabulous enclosed garden, very clean, lots of linen and towels provided, kitchen facilities were everything you could ever need, location perfect with bus stop to Ayr 10 mins away.

I particularly loved the jacuzzi bath, tray of delicious treats left in the fridge to welcome us.

Loved staying and will be booking again for next year.

My second time staying here and I just love it.

What a lovely property lives up to its name of Bright and Beautiful

This really was home from home, one of the best we have stayed in.

Everything you needed was on hand and the accommodation was warm, clean and very modern. Upon arrival there was a note left apologising for the shop being closed and unable to provide afternoon tea but treats and milk had been left in the fridge and tea and coffee in the cupboard. The host had thought of everything right down to washing up liquid, all you needed to take was your weekly shop. We all enjoyed our stay and our three dogs loved their walks to the beach which was only 10 minutes away. Doonfoot is such a lovely place, so quiet considering there are quite a few properties and we know if we are in the area again we'll book Bright and Beautiful again. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your lovely home.

A super cottage in a perfect location, with everything you need for a perfect holiday.

Would thoroughly recommend this cottage and will return again for another visit. Thank you!

Really pleased with everything about the house.

Clean and comfortable with everything you'd need and a perfect enclosed garden for our little dog. Easy walk down to the beach too and also to the coop shop. For 5 adults, a shower over the bath would have been useful, but overall we had a perfect stay.

This property is certainly Bright and Beautiful , We all had a great week in a perfect house!

Tilly our Jack Russell loved it too! And the fish and chip shop was special too as it was so close and made lovely different flavours of Italian ice cream!!! So a perfect holiday in Ayrshire,pity we couldn’t have taken the Beautiful house home with us! Thanks!

Lovely property which is on the doorstep of loads of beautiful places.

Owners were great and have offered a smashing place to stay. We had 3 dogs with us and they were also made to feel welcome. We had a lovely week exploring, and relaxing in this lovely house. It was well equipped and the afternoon tea on arrival was a welcomed addition. Anyone who books this will be smiling!

This property was beautiful with everything you could ever want and need.

Sky TV was an added bonus. Comfy beds, beautiful jacuzzi bath, en/suite room,absolutely spotless and Afternoon tea left for us was unexpected but very much appreciated. This is one of the best property’s we have stayed in with Sykes snd we would high recommend to others. 5* property and we hope to return.

We had a lovely time at bright and beautiful.

It had everything we needed and was perfect location. The back garden and the walk to the beach was perfect for the dogs.

Perfect!

The location is great for visiting various places. The bungalow is very well equipped and probably the best ‘dog friendly’ one we’ve booked! Absolutely spotless, could not find fault at all. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back.

Great bungalow everything you need welcome pack excellent very quiet area dogs where safe in garden would recommend and go back

We were very impressed by all the bungalow had to offer and the reception pack a vey kind jesters and enjoy by the grandkids.

Plenty of parking available and in a great position for visiting Ayr and wider exploring. Must mention Dumfries House only half an hour away with two days activities at least for all ages. Thank you very much we really enjoy our stay and it didn’t rain !

The house was just as described ….

Bright and beautiful. However, we were disappointed with the very bad state of cooking trays, they definitely had seen their day and not an expensive item to replace. I could not think to use them without first lining them with kitchen foil. The saucepans which did not appear to be non stick were pretty scratched on the bottom too. On opening the cutlery drawer, I found the drawer itself not as clean as it should have been, which meant I had to put all the cutlery through the dishwasher. The grass was pretty long and no-one appeared to cut it during the week of our stay, despite the good weather we had.

Would highly recommend in every way, already thinking about coming back next year.

Thanks for everything. Eleanor

Lovely cottage and very comfortable Great welcome pack Hope to return in the future

Beautiful well kept cottage, lovely and clean, very well equipped.

Lovely afternoon tea left for our arrival. It was the perfect base for our trip. We had a great week. Already booked for next year and very much looking forward to it

A beautiful property, clean and comfortable with a fantastic enclosed garden for our four-legged family member.

We loved the jacuzzi bath, huge fridge, Smart TV, and the delicious sandwiches and cakes we were greeted with. So thoughtful and much appreciated! :) The quiet location in the far corner of a cul-de-sac suited us down to the ground. It was peaceful and so safe in terms of traffic and everything else.

A wonderful property with everything provided except the Tea Pot (

What a lovely holiday home Bright and Beautiful is.

Everything was just perfect for us. Lots of interesting places to visit locally. Further afield Mull of Galloway to see the seals, Loch Lomond and the Kelpies. A busy week, but Bright and Beautiful was so comfortable to come back to and relax. The welcome pack was the best we have ever had, much appreciated. Thank you so much to the owners for sharing your very special home. Also thank you to Janet and her son who were very pleasant and helpful.

Brilliant holiday home great location lovely garden so relaxing 10 minute walk to fantastic beach

spotless house with everything you need to hand.

we really appreciated the sky tv for some downtime in the evenings. Beds were really comfy too and parking was handy. Great location too and our dog loved the beach.

Fantastic cottage - really clean, good facilities.

Garden was great for the dogs. Really close to beach and amazing coastal walks. We all loved our time here.

WOW we had a lovely restful week here.

so clean and fresh , we were made to feel at home. lovely pet caring home. when we got there The owner had left us afternoon tea. so very kind and caring and thoughtful. would book again .

Absolutely loved our stay!

Beautiful, clean and comfortable and the back garden was truly secure for the dogs. The high tea welcome pack was a delightful surprise, and absolutely delicious!! Just a 10 minute walk to the beach for the dogs walks! Shops within easy reach. Our only complaint, and it's more of a suggestion than a complaint, is the shower. It's truly awful, I'm sorry. Perhaps a new shower head might be an idea? There's barely a trickle of water comes out. Having said that it did not spoil our stay. Lovely property. Thank you so much

We loved our time here, lovely place to stay in a lovely area, there is so great places to go and eat a short drive away, the garden at rear is enclosed which is essential for us having 3 dogs, also a nice touch with a afternoon tea left for us on arrival with fresh milk , coffee tea etc so you don’t have to go straight out shopping when you get there.

All in all a perfect break!

Everything about this cottage in Alloway two miles from Ayr was absolutely superb.

We arrived on Saturday 19th November to gain access into this modern three bedroom bungalow in a quite housing estate. This holiday cottage had everything we needed to accommodate our family and dogs. On arrival we found a delightful tea of sandwiches, scones and cakes in the fridge and this made the start of our holiday wonderful. The beds were very comfortable, the whirlpool bath was sensational, the kitchen had everything we wanted and the rear enclosed garden was brilliant to allow our dogs to have an enjoyable time. The cottage was exceptional clean and there wasn’t a spec of dirt inside the bungalow. Greenan Beach was only 10 minutes walk away and it only took 5 minutes to walk to the shops. I will recommend this cottage to our family and friends and we will definitely return to this holiday cottage in the next few years.

This is an excellent house for a break in Ayr.

Close to beach and shops, quiet cul-de-sac location and a very comfortable house. Nicely decorated, comfortable beds, everything we needed in the kitchen and an enclosed back garden, which was perfect for our dog. Our little girl loved the 'light up bath' and the afternoon tea that awaited us when we arrived was a lovely surprise. All in all, an ideal property and we had a great stay.

Lovely property in nice fairly quiet location.

Ideal for walking around and being close to the sea with beautiful views of Arran. Although there were a few issues issues with the property Janet the housekeeper was very helpful in trying to resolve them.The welcome gift of Afternoon Tea was delicious &much appreciated .

Bright & Beautiful is a very good property - very central to everywhere.

Lovely eating places all around. We visited Girvan and Largs. Arran is also very accessible - went there last time. The icing on the cake was the lovely afternoon tea left for us. So delicious and a lovely surprise. Property also has a tumble dryer which was very useful. Thank you Janet for everything

Lovely stay.

We had everything we needed. Would love to come back again

We had an amazing stay at Bright and Beautiful, the cottage was spottlessly clean upon our arrival and the afternoon tea was just what we needed after a 5 hour drive, thank you so much for this.

The garden was enclosed and secure, great for our two granddaughters and two dogs. During our stay we had a problem, I contacted Janet and she was brilliant, without her help we would not have known what to do, thank you so much to Janet, she is a gem and the owners should feel privileged to have someone like Janet working for them, she's cares about the cottage but the guests too, wonderful lady. We will definitely return.

This is a great place to stay with everything that was needed provided.

The afternoon tea that was left for us was a nice surprise too. Thank you we had a lovely stay & will be back again.

The property was lovely

Just spent a lovely week at Bright and Beautiful with our 3 dogs.

The property was like a home from home with everything you could want. Location was great with a short walk to a local supermarket and excellent fish & chip shop. Another short walk to the fantastic dog friendly beaches. Afternoon tea on arrival was a bonus - thank you.

Enjoyed a perfect holiday in Bright and Beautiful.

Loved the welcome tray of goodies. Great garden to relax in. Have enjoyed many holidays here, at all times of the year, and will always look forward to returning to this very relaxing house. Crichton

This is our second visit at the property it was very thoughtful that the owners left some lovely sandwiches and cakes.

Brilliant accommodation well equipped spacious and clean . What we liked was the location,supermarket close by and a lovely short walk to the dog friendly beach. We particularly enjoyed walking into Ayr along the coastline. There are lots of other things to do within a short car journey. Weather was lovely and warm.We will be back again.

Overall pleasant stay, left detailed feedback on the document provided on how to make the bungalow even better, curtains at the bedroom windows would be appreciated.

Replacement sofas would be a future consideration with seating for 6 people. Afternoon tea provided was good and a lovely gesture (thanks). Nice quiet cul de sac, pleasant area, nice secure garden for fur babies. Would we stay at Bright&Beautiful again probably Yes.

Would highly recommend this house.

Was immaculately clean through the very spacious rooms. Ideal location right at the beachfront for a nice walk on the beach. Everything you need is already in the house so need nothing. Would definitely return for another fantastic break

We had an excellent stay at the cottage.

It is in a fabulous location, in quiet cul-de-sac but close enough to lots of local places of interest for young and old alike. The cottage was presented very well and was well catered for. Local supermarket and takeaways within walking distance. We hope to return in the future.

I'm reluctant to say this but I was so disappointed with the cleanliness of the house.

Cobwebs in kitchen, living room, main bedroom & double bedroom. Both toilets vents covered in thick dust. Radiator in ensuite has years of accumulated dust. Placemats & coasters grubby. Both couches are extremely grubby also with accumulated food down the sides and seams. Skirting boards in each room were in need of a good scrub. I have taken photographs just in case my comments are disputed Given we're living through a pandemic I was astonished. To the positive. Great contained garden for small dog. Very secure and well maintained. Great location and very quiet . Short walk to the lovely beach. Very well equipped kitchen and plenty of towels and bed linen. The afternoon tea was a lovely surprise and very much appreciated. In summary We arrived in the evening so I didn't see the true condition of the house until the next day. I was going to call the number left in case of problems, but I couldn't live with having to move back our for the hours it would have taken to bring it up to the necessary standard. I felt the late check in of 4.00pm and early check out of 10.00pm was extreme. All problems are easily dealt with and if the house was given a much needed deep clean it would a gem of a place.

It was a lovely cottage.

Very well equipped ,everything you could need for a holiday and more . Lovely garden and really quiet . The afternoon tea on arrival was a lovely gesture and we all really enjoyed it

Bright and beautiful was lovely.

The property was clean and very well equipped. Very close to sea and local shop as described the location was perfect On arrival we found afternoon tea in the fridge with milk tea and coffee supplied which was a very welcome gesture We loved the the property and had a lovely holiday The garden was secure perfect for our dogs too Property was warm and homely

Found the holiday bungalow to be very clean, well equipped with plenty of space.

The garden was well enclosed for our dog. It is only a short five minute walk to the beach which was dog friendly. The walk to Ayr along the footpath by the beach was lovely, the coastline was beautiful. Lots of lovely walks near by which we enjoyed. We have stayed at lots of holiday bungalows and this was one of the best. Close to a co-op and a fish and chip store, that serves the best fish supper we have eaten for years .It was a lovely touch to find an afternoon tea waiting for us after our long journey. Enjoyed our break that much, that we have already booked for next year.

First of all we would like to thank the owners for an amazing afternoon tea on arrival after an 8 hour journey, a lovely touch

Beautiful bungalow with everything we could possibly need, only think that let it down was the showers was mouldy, the shower head, tray and tiles.

Walking distance to shops and beach and handy for all amenities.

Bright and Beautiful was just that, Bright and Beautiful.

It was set up for living in so had every thing that you might need. Even an Afternoon tea for your arrival. Brilliant.

The cottage is very well equipped and Janet & Lyndsay were very welcoming.

The afternoon tea that was provided when we arrived was excellent and certainly a lovely touch. Great Chippy, Indian Restaurant and large Co-op very close by. The area in Doonfoot was very clean and also close to Alloway where there are a few restaurants as well as the usual attractions. Not far to get to Ayr and along the coast. Would certainly recommend this property if you are looking for a roomy cottage in this area that is well presented with everything that you could need for a relaxing holiday. I would give this accommodation 5*****. What more can I say. Pete & Babs

Bright and Beautiful in Ayr is fabulous.

It's very spacious and bright but also has a cosy feel to it. The garden is completely secure so your furbaby cannot escape, there's ample parking on the driveway and it's situated in a quiet cul de sac, although the beach is only a 5 minute walk away. Ayr itself is only 2 minutes up the road by car and is a lovely shopping area and all the big name supermarkets are about. There's so much to see and do in and around Ayr, and the costal roads ate beautiful. I cannot recommend BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL enough, we will definitely be going back.

The holiday accommodation was excellent also nice area nice convenient handy shops nice coastal views not too far away

I have been to lots of holiday homes over different parts of the country but Bright & Beautiful is the best by far

Was a fantastic location.

Safe and quiet. Has everything we needed. The lady went above and beyond. Wine, choc and milk on arrival. We have family in ayr and will definitely be using her again

Good location close to local shop and takeaways.

Beach is a short walk away great for dogs.

Brilliant location warm and clean bottle of wine and chocolate left and decorated with a small Christmas tree

Another fantastic holiday in this beautiful, welcoming house.

A very nice modern bungalow, for a nice relaxing holiday, plenty of places to visit within a short drive.

Lovely holiday home, well equipped, clean and in a lovely quiet location.

Our only criticism is that the fan didn’t work in the en-suite shower room which meant the bedroom window got wet with condensation and there was no shelving in the en suite so nowhere to put your toiletries. Just 2 small niggles, rest was great

This is a beautiful single story house which was spotlessly clean.

Beds very comfortable and kitchen is equipped to a high standard - everything you could need. Garden fully enclosed; perfect for our dog. Within 10 minute walking distance to the beach along well laid out paths. Shops along same path in opposite direction which is very handy. A Co-op, Indian Restaurant and a Chippy. We had a lovely holiday visiting most of the local historical sites as well as distilleries a little further afield. We would highly recommend this cottage.

At first glance the house looked clean when met by the owner but during unpacking I noticed the floors were very dirty and hadn't been washed in a while as my bare feet were filthy walking about.

The mop and bucket were bone dry and actually had dust in bucket which is how I can confirm this fact. I then had to spend a couple of hours scrubbing the mould and soap scum from shower cubicle which hadn't been cleaned in months. The fridge had mould, the toaster was full of old crumbs and was very grubby as well as a dirty microwave (inside). The cleaning left a lot to be desired. The beds were also very uncomfortable and one of them sagged in the middle. The cushions in the living room also had to be washed as they stank. It's a shame as this is a lovely house in a lovely part of Ayr. Owner needs to double check cleanliness prior to cleaner leaving and renters arriving. Won't be renting again. This is first time in ten years I've put in a bad review.

Had a great holiday in a perfect location.

Highly recommend this house.
