Guest Reviews

Exceptional accommodation for all the family. Very clean and well kitted out with all amenities and more than you would expect. Nice surprise with a fabulous welcome pack. Gerry and Susan could not have been more friendly and helpful. We have already booked again for another stay.

 

A real gem. Everything you need for a home from home is catered for . The lodge is well placed just outside Blackwaterford . We loved seeing the red squirrels in the garden and the variety of birds. There are many walks on the doorstep with spectacular views . We are looking forward to returning one day.

 

We had an amazing week's stay in Ar Fasgadh. It was in a great location, with Blackwaterfoot really close by, and it had everything we needed (and more). We stayed for a week with three children, and they loved watching the birds and red squirrels on the feeders. The property facilities were excellent and Gerry and Susan have thought of everything that you might need. It really was like a home away from home, and it meant we didn't need to overpack e.g. even beach towels and buckets and spades were available. It was very clean and there were lots of little touches to really add to the experience of staying there. There was even a lovely welcome hamper with some local produce on arrival. Thanks again, we would definitely recommend it to others.

This was the second time my husband and I holidayed at Ar Fasgadh and no doubt, we will be back sometime for a third visit. Gerry and Susan are a delightful and welcoming couple whose personal mission is to do all they can to enable you to enjoy a very good holiday on the Island of Arran. Every aspect of the accommodation, both inside and outside, is first class. Torbeg is about a mile from Blackwaterfoot which is a lovely coastal location for a family day out. We enjoyed visiting the many tourist attractions and believe there is lots to see and do for all age groups, interests and fitness levels. We had dinner out every evening and enjoyed The Lighthouse at Pirnmill, The Kinloch at Blackwaterfoot, and the Pier Head Tavern at Lamlash to name but a few. Do remember to book a table in advance. Lunch at Arran Distillery, Lochranza was very nice too and there are lots of good places to enjoy lunch. We found more delightful places this time round that we hadn’t seen on our previous visit, e.g. Kildonan Beach and Lagg. Shopping at Arran Aromatics, Arran Cheese and Arran Distillery is a must - you will not be disappointed. Local produce is good quality - meat, fish, vegetables, bakery goods and of course ice cream. It was always nice, after an enjoyable day out, to return to the comfort, peace and quiet of Ar Fasgadh. The generous Welcome Box was much appreciated. Thank you Gerry and Susan.
