Honestly what a place. The boys have done a fantastic job. The cabins are spotless, well laid out, comfy, quirky and just all a great wee place to spend a few days. I can’t recommend highly enough and we will defo be back. From the fresh milk & OJ to the welcome doggy pack. The wood burning hot tub to the clean fresh linen. Add to this the warm welcoming staff, I can honestly say the place has it all If I could, Id go back tomorrowPosted on Tripadvisor JEMac65 Fantastic Fun and High-Quality Accommodation Situated on the edge of the main town in Millport, close to open countryside, the cabins at Jack's Alt-stays are in an excellent location, peaceful yet accessible. Clearly-marked parking areas showed attention to detail and the outdoor space at the Birdbox was also thoughtfully designed, with a hot-tub, awning and windbreak, chairs and table. Privacy is provided with tall hedging along the front. Initial good impressions were continued indoors: the cabin is well-equipped and tastefully and stylishly designed, with many fun, attractive and thoughtful design features: bird-themed books and pictures, excellent Wifi and large TV with good connectivity. the welcome tray of teabags etc. had hot chocolate and mini-eggs and our pre-ordered breakfast pack was waiting for us in the fridge. The kitchen area was well-equipped with high-quality appliances., though I couldn't find a teapot anywhere . Could one be put in?- (it's a generational thing seemingly!!) The Birdbox has a pull-down bed so can accommodate up to 4, but we didn't need it and used the sofa for watching TV. We chuckled while reading the welcome card and hot-tub instructions, so felt immediately relaxed. We didn't know at that time that Adam and Daniel had kindly started up the hot tub for us, or we would have been in it on the first night, but were able to warm it up enough quickly for our second night. The spacious shower room had luxurious toiletries,big,thick towels, and even bathrobes, and the lighting and blinds could all be controlled from the small tablet beside the bed. We had a slight problem with the toilet flushing and the shower could be tricky to regulate, but Adam and Daniel were around and in touch on text to help out. We appreciated their personal attention and friendly presence on-site. Altogether our stay surpassed our expectations and was a delightful base to explore the island and a cosy retreat in what was a cold wet couple of days. We would recommend Alt-stays for all the above reasons. We arrived at 8.00 pm on Wednesday 1st April. a short distance from the main First impressions were good, with parking areas clearly marked, and the outdoor space at the Birdbox looked attractive and well-maintained. The interior of the Birdbox is beautifully designed and very well-equipped, with high quality kitchen area, large TV, spacious shower room, and pull-down sofabed. Everything was spotlessly clean. Helpful notes and hot-tub instructions were written in a fun way on laminate cards, so this brought a smile and made us feel welcome. We were glad to see the pre-ordered breakfast pack in the fridge, and supplies of teabags, biscuits, hot chocolate and even mini-eggs!Posted on Tripadvisor Chris F Relaxing Cabins were immaculate and had everything we needed. Very well thought out design to give you enough space to get about but give you that comforting cozy feeling. Hot tub was amazing and easy to start up yourself thanks to the well put together guides provided. Location is easy to get to and is peaceful. Will defo be back :)Posted on Tripadvisor Janice Lovely cosy cabin Great little cabin with all you need for a cosy stay, hot tub was great even on a wild winter night it was lovely stepping into the warm water and relaxing. The cabin was well equipped, kitchen had everything needed for cooking. Tea, coffee and hot chocolate supplied and plenty biscuits too. Huge bathroom with walk in shower and lovely toiletries and the bath robe was a nice touch getting in and out the hot tub and keeping warm stepping out the cabin. Lovely comfy bed and the blackout blinds were great, not that there was much light coming in but kept the cabin feeling cosy. It’s a lovely quiet place, the other cabins were in use but you wouldn’t know anyone else was there. The village is only a short walk away to shops, bars and restaurants and for a walk along the seafront. Would recommend a stay here.Posted on Tripadvisor Angela B Perfect relaxation & chill place Just back from another break here and honestly wish I could give it more than 5 stars. The guys are so helpful & accommodation is spotless & ideal place to switch off and relax with the hot tub. Will definitely be back soonPosted on Tripadvisor Dorothy F Amazing! This is our third stay at Jacks Alt Stays, another amazing stay at first class accommodation, the cabins have everything that you would need, so clean, comfortable and welcoming, we relax as soon as we enter the cabin, staff are amazing and so helpful, looking forward to our next visitPosted on Tripadvisor greenockian9 Jacks Alt stays Brilliant retreat to relax, would highly recommend staying at jacks alt stay. 5 min walk to front of millport.Cabins are spotless, has everything you need in cabins,well thought out. Adam was great very friendly nothing any trouble, loved all the wee extras, hotter brilliant, we will be backPosted 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.
