It’s not always easy to find a holiday house for 8 that feels spacious on all fronts – for eating, relaxing and sleeping – but Quivive does just that and more. It’s in a beautiful, private setting, yet with all the benefits of being between Brodick and Lamlash. We had fantastic weather so enjoyed breakfast outside every day, with lovely views of both Goat Fell and the sea, but the house is clearly well suited to all weathers. It is very well equipped and the owners have really put thought into ensuring guests can enjoy their time in the house – eg a large TV, big sofas, sizeable dining table, very relaxing sun room, wood burner, electric blankets, comfortable beds, hairdryers etc. The setting has all the benefits of being between Brodick and Lamlash yet with lots of privacy. There are wonderful walks straight from the house, whether down to the shore or also up high to an Iron Age fort giving one of the best views of Arran. All in all it was a perfect house for us to enjoy being together as a family.
