Gowanlea Heights

Excellent location, welcoming hosts, thoughtful touches and spacious, comfortable accommodation.

Pros: Excellent location and incredibly well equipped. The bedrooms and lounge are spacious and there are thoughtful touches everywhere. John was incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout our stay. Breakfast was wonderful and the ability to use the lounge to make tea, coffee (all provided along with snacks) was great. We didn’t ask to have the fire lit, but this would have been a lovely touch of an evening as well. Thank you both.

Cons: We enjoyed everything about our stay. No faults.

Breakfast amazing.

Pros: Friendly clean . Hosts very welcoming. Would certainly stay again.

Perfect B&B

Pros: It's such a lovely place, and the host was very friendly and helpful. Spacious bedroom and even own living room. Full hot breakfast served every morning. It is simply the best B&B I've ever been to.

Excellent classy B&B in a lovely building

Pros: The accommodation was deluxe. We had a lovely room with comfy bed. We had a separate lounge to use with a fridge full of goodies. We could help ourselves to fruit, cakes, sweets etc. The bathroom was in a separate room but this was not a problem as we had a screen so we are price when moving from the bedroom. The bath was luxury as was the shower. Lots of soap, bubble bath etc to use. Breakfast was lovely and plentiful. The proprietor was very friendly and helpful and made us very welcome. Bicycles were safely stored in the hallway. Thanks you. Plenty of restaurants in the town but we lovely the Taj Mahal Indian which was excellent be it the service was at snails pace. The town was very picturesque. Good place to cycle to Southend to see the coast of Northern Ireland as only 13 miles away!

Cons: Probably too many notes stuck around the place saying \

Pros: John was a wonderful host. The accommodation offers everything one could wish for. Since we had to catch an early ferry one morning, John kindly prepared delicious lunch packages for us and left them in the fridge. Unfortunately, due to a cancelled ferry connection, we were unable to spend our second night at his place, which we regretted very much. He was incredibly supportive and helped us to make sure we got home on time. John is truly a very helpful and outstanding host – we would gladly come back anytime and can wholeheartedly recommend him.

Excellent location and excellent hosts and definitely a place to return to visit

Pros: Excellent experience There was remarkable attention to detail and everything was provided that you could possibly want and more! Spotlessly clean with well thought out decor which made a comfortable and relaxing environment. The hosts were very very welcoming, friendly and helpful Thank you very much

Cons: Nothing exceptional in all ways

Pros: There was absolutely nothing not to like The place is amazing absolutely beautiful

Cons: Not a thing

Fabulous B&B!

Pros: Absolutely outstanding in every possible way. A huge, comfortable, private lounge and two lovely bedrooms. Excellent bathroom and shower. Massive choice of snacks and drinks, homemade cake, delicious breakfast. So much attention to detail - local guidebooks, toiletries, fluffy towels, lots of helpful recommendations. By far the best value for money and most luxurious place we stayed on our whole trip to Scotland. Our Springbank distillery visit was great too. Lots to explore in the area. If you are lucky enough to find availability at Gowanlea Heights, don't hesitate - book now and you won't regret it.

Cons: Wouldn't change anything.
