EXCELLENT Based on 446 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Thom R Jacks an amazing get away The cabins were in a great location, very clean and cozy, the staff were very friendly and willing to help out with everything, the prices was great, hot tub was an amazing experience for wood burners, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend for a great get away, there is a lot to do on the island and the guide in the cabin had a lot of suggestions, thank you for the great stay and I would come back and stay again.Posted on Tripadvisor Alison P A lovely treat Fantastic welcome to our beautifully appointed cabin- they have thought of everything. We got the hot tub butler service which was excellent and the hot tub really kept its heat till the next day. The cabin is within an easy walk of the town and all the lovely eateries it has to offer. We went a wild water swim in the bay and returned for a dip in the hot tub to heat ourselves up. We stayed in Birdbox- and sure enough there was a friendly little robin who kept us company during our stay. Would highly recommend for a couple or friends luxury retreat. Well worth the price. Would love to return.Posted on Tripadvisor CarolanandBilly Relaxing and Restorative Break Returned to Jacks Alt Stays after a fab stay in April and we were not disappointed. We stayed this time at one of the new cabins, The Canyon, it was great and the decor and theme of the cabin, so much fun and so well done. We loved again the peace, quiet and privacy of the cabin and of course the lovely welcome from Mags and the little welcome touches in the cabin. Everything was spotlessly clean and everything you could possibly need for a short stay was provided. Keep doing such a wonderful job guys, we love it and will be back when we need another relaxing, restorative break.Posted on Tripadvisor Ally M A wee slice of heaven ✨️ A little slice of heaven ✨️.

We would definitely recommend Jack Alt Stays to anyone looking for a luxury getaway, and we cannot wait to come back!Posted on Tripadvisor Fiona S The Summit thoroughly enjoyable stay Absolutely fantastic stay at Jack's cabins, first time and definitely not the last. The attention to detail in each cabin is amazing! ( I got a look in another 2 cabins after guests had checked out and they were also great). We stayed in the summit and loved everything about is, the inside and outside spaces are great, you can sit out or go in the hot tub even when Scottish weather is not cooperating as each cabin has a sheltered deck. Staff are great very friendly and helpful. Cabins have everything you could need and more, the bathroom is bigger than most hotel rooms. Location is great, secluded enough to feel the peace and quiet but close enough to walk to town. Can't wait to come back only dilemma is which cabin to choose.Posted on Tripadvisor Gillian C ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Perfect Little Getaway at Jack Alt Stays – The Reef Cabin We had the most fantastic two-night stay at Jack Alt Stays in Millport, staying in the Reef cabin. This was a very last-minute booking for myself and my two daughters, aged 14 and 9, and from the very beginning Adam and Daniel were absolutely fantastic. The communication from both hosts was brilliant — quick, friendly and helpful before booking, after booking and throughout our stay. They were incredibly accommodating and made us feel so welcome. 🌊 The Reef Cabin The cabin itself was honestly perfect. It was beautifully designed, exceptionally clean and incredibly spacious for a cabin, with absolutely everything you could possibly need. The kitchen was brand new and fully equipped with a microwave, kettle, toaster, hob, oven, fridge and freezer compartment, as well as plenty of crockery and cutlery. There was tea, coffee, sugar, sweets and biscuits, plus a really thoughtful complimentary pint of milk and fresh orange juice waiting for us. The bathroom was a particular highlight — it was actually bigger than my bathroom at home! 😂 The shower was powerful and lovely and hot, and there was a heated mirror and heated towel rail. They also provided toiletries including shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and hand wash, all lovely Arran products. There was even a full range of cleaning supplies available, including a hoover, mop, dustpan and brush, bin bags, kitchen roll, antibacterial spray and wipes. Everything you could need for your stay was provided, including pillows, bedding and covers, bathrobes, face cloths, hand towels and bath towels. It really felt like every little detail had been thought of. The use of space in the cabin is brilliant. The double bed pulls down from the wall above the little two-seater sofa, meaning it doesn't take up valuable floor space during the day. There was also a hairdryer, air conditioning unit and a fold-up table with two chairs. There was also a large-screen TV which swivels, so you can position it towards the kitchen/living area during the day or towards the bed at night. It also came with Netflix and Disney+ already included, which was a fantastic bonus, especially with the kids. As this was a last-minute booking, I had booked the final cabin available for two people. Adam and Daniel were incredibly kind and accommodating in allowing me to bring both of my girls, and I brought a small fold-up cabin bed for my youngest, which fitted perfectly beside the main bed. 🥰 The little touches There are so many thoughtful touches throughout the cabin that make it feel really special. The electric blinds completely blacked out the cabin at night, which was fantastic, and the mood lighting was lovely. But the absolute highlight for us was the Google Nest! You can control the music, lights, colours and blinds simply by talking to it. We discovered that saying “Hey Google, enter the Reef” would put all the blinds down, turn on the mood lighting and play Ocean Man loudly. This became our morning ritual and every morning we would “enter the Reef” and have a little boogie. 😂 It was honestly one of the highlights of the whole trip and something my girls and I will remember. There were also lots of board games provided, which was a lovely touch and gave us plenty to do in the evenings. 🔥 The outdoor space The outside area was probably our favourite part of the cabin. The decking was lovely and had a hammock, which we all spent plenty of time lounging in, as well as our own Swedish hot tub. Although I hadn't booked the hot tub butler service, Adam very kindly came to greet us on arrival and actually set up the hot tub for us, putting in the first few logs to get us started. The following day Daniel also came by and got it set up for us again. Both of them went above and beyond and we really appreciated it. Another lovely touch was the cabin's own signature diffuser fragrance, Reef Coral Mist. It smelled absolutely gorgeous — so much so that I ended up buying a bottle to take home! We also couldn't resist taking home one of the personalised Jack Quack ducks from the cabin. 🦆 🏝️ Millport Millport itself was the perfect place for a little family getaway. I actually spent many of my own childhood summer and Easter holidays here, so it was really special to return with my girls and make some new memories. We did all the usual Millport sights — Crocodile Rock, Indian Rock and Lion Rock — and cycled around the island. We had ice cream at the Ritz Café every day, climbed the rocks and searched for seashells. One of our favourite evenings was buying some watercolours from Mapes and bringing them back to the cabin, where the girls sat outside painting the seashells they'd collected during the day. Those are the little moments that made the trip so memorable. We had a chip shop and Chinese on our first night, and on the second night ordered a delivery from the Millport Clubhouse, which was fantastic. We would definitely recommend the food there. 💡 Just a couple of small suggestions Honestly, there isn't much we would change at all, but if I was to make two small suggestions, they would simply be little things that might make an already fantastic stay even better. Firstly, perhaps adding flip-flops or slippers to the “what to bring” information would be useful, particularly for going back and forward to the hot tub and for wearing inside the cabin. Secondly, we did find that quite a few flies came into the cabin when the door was open, particularly during the warmer periods. We obviously just chased them back out, but a fly screen/net for the door would be a fantastic addition and would allow you to enjoy having the door open without the flies joining you! 😂 Neither of these things detracted from our stay at all — they are simply little suggestions that we think could make the experience even better. ❤️ We'll be back! Overall, we absolutely loved our stay at Jack Alt Stays and couldn't have asked for a better little getaway. The Reef cabin was beautiful, comfortable, incredibly well equipped and full of thoughtful touches. Adam and Daniel's hospitality was exceptional, and they genuinely couldn't have done more to make our stay enjoyable. We could see some of the newer, larger cabins further up the hill, which look absolutely incredible, so we'd love to come back and try one of those in the future too. A huge thank you to Adam and Daniel for being such wonderful hosts and for making our last-minute little family adventure so special. We will definitely be back! ❤️🌊🔥Posted on Tripadvisor Culture819975 Amazing! Just home from our 4th or 5th stay at Jacks. Amazing. This time at The Summit. June we stayed at the Birdcage, previous years at the Hive. same excellent standard in all. Spotlessly clean, fresh white bedding, fluffy towels and robes. a games box for my wee boy. The Hot tub to relax in if its raining, without a care in the world. Thank you for being so sweet to my wee boy and our wee dog while he was alive.Posted on Tripadvisor sandra w Fantastic weekend. Well what can I say about Jacks Alt-Stays Absolutely Fantastic location is fantastic, staff are fantastic, cabins fantastic, i love the Jungle cabin has everything you could possibly need.Bedding is amazing,Bathroom is amazing, and the hot tub tops it off very secluded for privacy. Second time staying in the Jungle and will definitely be booking for 2027.Posted on Tripadvisor Eleanor M Solo stay at the Jungle Second time at the site, first being the Hive 2nd being at the Jungle. This time a solo trip and it was bliss. So peaceful, self check in was easy using the code and lock box. Breakfast pack, milk and orange juice left as ordered. Hot tub ready to relax in. Diffuser smelled great on arrival. I forgot my charger and my phone battery died hour after arriving but this made me enjoy the surroundings even more without being stuck to social media. The cabin has tv, neftix and Spotify. I made breaky with the doors slightly ajar to let air in and even though there was a little rain is was so nice. Thanks again for a fab stay and apologies I left a bottle of water in the fridge and frozen strawberries in the freezer I took my rubbish away on check out and only realised this while on the ferry and felt awful. I had thought I had left jewelery behind, the team got back to me to say they had looked for this and were excellent in communicating to let me know they were not at the cabin. Thankfully they were found. Maybe be back for a return trip to another theme but in the meantime I will highly recommend to freinds and family.
