I’m not sure how to start this review, it had so many positives and negatives, all depending on how you look at things. We felt like we were staying at a distant eccentric aunts place. The owner is lovely and helpful, but lives alone and wants to chat! Great if that’s what you want from a holiday but bad if... More

We were provided with a warm welcome and interesting conversation by Avril at the Carlton Seamill. Avril was very attentive and the cooked Scottish breakfast was tremendous. The house is very interesting and is in original condition and the view out to Arran is captivating. The beach is at the end of the garden and Avril allowed us to take... More

Seamill... what a brilliant base for seeing the sights! West Kilbride itself is a gem.Go to Portencross, over to Arran, up to Largs. A short train ride to Glasgow if you like cities. Drive down to Girvan if you want country. Try Dailly or Barmill for rural peace and quiet. Do the whole coast run up to Gourock and then... More

What a lovely wee break we just had for 2 nights at Carlton. It's a beautiful old house. Yes... it's OLD!!!!! Not pretend old but actually old. The house is a wonderful example of Victorian building and is furnished with family heirlooms and bits and pieces galore from the turn of the century and later. It really feels like stepping... More

The house itself is a rare example of individuality, full of quirky details and precious antiques. The hostess, Avril, is a delightful treasure who brings kindness and generosity, as well as a range of breakfast options, to the experience. Add... More

Funny all the reviews I could find were in French. I know the owner speaks french and probably put the reviews on herself. This place is dire to be avoided at all costs. One shared bathroom and not clean. Hairs in bath. Breakfast was OK but have had better. Faded splendour is all that can be said for this. Now... More

We have stayed here before about 18 month, then it had some bad reviews but we thourght we would give it a go loving shaby chic and things then were just ok but worth it for the fabulous views. On returning to Seamills last weekend there was a definate smell of urine about the house as we entered, when we... More
