The new chalets at Machrihanish look as if they are going to be very nice. When driving through the village yesterday it had to be pointed out where they were. You would hardly notice them but then I suppose it was part of the planning application to make sure they ‘fitted in’ to the surroundings. I also like the way they are positioned handy for the pavement/main road. Not to mention handy for the new golf course!

Was in M village today also.... Never noticed anything different ATM....

I did have the wipers on tho !

Yes, I just wonder how they managed to get planning permission for those two storey chalets that 'fit' so well into the surrounding area.....I wonder how they are going to re-instate the pavement that has been halved especially when the entrance (door) to one of the chalets is right on it . We can only wait and see.........

My mum was telling me about this, does anyone have any pictures to post?

Once the roof goes on it will look like a new wee hotel to match the old big one.
The buildings will enhance the area, after all, it was only an old car park with a bit of an old wall round it so anything must be better than that.
Negativity now about this project is a waste of time, the plans have been passed and work will go on, and its bringing much needed work for locals, and for this it gets my vote.

This restriction thing for posting photos is daeing ma heid in so here is the proposed plan on image.

I can agree with that Ninja ...and glad it has brought work to locals (my son included) but it was just just a shock to see two storey buildings built right on the road.....on the pavement literally. Did see the plans beforehand and if all goes to plan the final results do look good and should bring alot of revenue to the area .

And thanks for the proposed plan .....looks good on paper ...hope they finish it .

It will be fantastic for the area when it's done - it's just such an eyesore at Ugadale just now but as one of the skeptics I am very pleased to see the work has actually begun! One of the local golfers voiced a bit of concern regarding bouncing off the windows on the way home on a Sunday evening so maybe reinforced glass in the pavement level windows might not be a bad idea
