only 2 minor items of maintenance that need to be looked at in the bathroom: the toilet seat is loose and the toilet roll holder is coming loose from the wall. We had a lovely peaceful and enjoyable stay at the cottage.

We took our two dachshunds and they quickly settled in. Although itâs 100 steps down from the car park we only went back up them a couple of times during the whole week. We mainly walked along the beach and upwards past the gas house to the castle or North along the beach towards Dunure. The castle grounds are excellent, and take time to go inside Culzean Castle itself, the guides are really friendly and are well informed about the history of the place. Segganwell cottage was perfect, beautifully clean and very warm. Lots of towels and a comfy bed. You will need to take more loo rolls if staying for more than a couple of days but everything else is there including some great smelling shower gels and shampoos. Also there is a hairdryer provided. We took some spare towels and blankets for the dogs and be aware that when it rains the water creeps under the front door so have an old towel ready. The sea views are amazing, it was so lovely to wake up to the waves splashing on the shore. Everyday we saw different wildlife including ducks, a resident swan and a blue heron. The weather was great even when it rained we still got out and enjoyed the walks and the fantastic scenery. We definitely recommend this place for a quiet getaway.

The bed is so comfy, everything you need in the kitchen (no washing machine), comfy sitting room (settee maybe low for some), bathroom is small but has lots of hot water; lots of towels including huge bath towel and dining table with great views. If it rains it rains in the front door (it's an old door and you just put a towel down) no big deal. There are so many different birds to watch on the shore and Lovely walks around the castle and shore line.
