Finlaystone Barns

Booked a few days in one of the barns. Was very nice , perfect base if you want to go sightseeing the West Coast of Scotland. The barns are pet friendly and are situated in a country park with waterfalls, gardens and walks. The Barn was well equipped with log burner, washer/dryer, towels and bedding are provided. The nearest town is Port Glasgow where you can find supermarkets, fast food outlets and petrol station. There is also a lovely walk by the River Clyde weather permitting.

A lovely place but so cold. On arrival the person checking us in said he would get us some wood for the log burner but never saw him again. The electric heaters were not really capable of warming the place unless you left them on 24/7, which in these times of high energy prices is not an option. Fortunately we brought an extra duvet because it was cold during the night and bought wood even though the website says they provide wood. The floors are not carpeted so glad I took slippers as they were so cold. The bathroom was like an icebox and the shower head needs to be further from the wall, had to almost hug the wall to get under it. Definitely would not stay during the winter, could not wait to get home. The surroundings are lovely but something needs to be done about the heating. I also booked and paid for 3 people, but somehow the booking was noted as 2 and had to pay another £30.
