A lovely reminder of how calm the sea can be, even this time of year.

🌊 COMING SOON — The Skipper’s Rest, Millport ⚓️

A cosy, quirky top-floor flat overlooking the seafront.

We’ve been working away on this little Glasgow Street hideaway, and it’ll be ready to book from next week.

The flat has a warm, coastal feel and features:

🛌 Two built-in double bed alcoves (perfect for solo stays or a couple)
🔥 Wood-burning stove
🌊 Beautiful sea views from a huge bay window
🚿 Fresh, clean bathroom
💻 WiFi & Smart TV with Netflix
📍 Top-floor flat right on the promenade

⸻

⚠️ Please note…

The Skipper’s Rest is over 125 years old, so it has all the quirks of a traditional Millport building — uneven floors, characterful walls and charming imperfections.
If you like places with personality and history, you’ll love it. It’s not a modern hotel-style space.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Who is it suitable for?

The flat is ideal for one or two adults, or a couple with one or two younger children who don’t mind a cosy layout and sleeping in alcove beds.
If you prefer lots of space or separate bedrooms, it might not be the right fit.

I’ll share full details, prices and availability as soon as the kitchen is finished — but here’s a little first look.

If you’d like first pick of dates, just message the page 💙
