Easter Holiday
We had a lovely week’s break in Gorten. The beach, accessed through fields, was deserted. The property is off the neaten track but offered everything we needed for grandad, grandma, mum, dad and two kids. The sunset over Jura was sensational. Trips to Tarbert, Skipness castle and Arran

Fantastic holiday
Really enjoyed our holiday at Gorten. The house is beautiful and the garden is lovely. We all had great fun playing in the garden and watching the stars which are like nothing I have ever seen before. Would definitely recommend. Would like to go again. Lots to see in the area and visit the Isles. 10/10
