Waterfront holiday rentals in Ayrshire

Lovely and peaceful few days spent fishing with my son. Perfect for our needs. Friendly and helpful host and beautiful surroundings,

I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb during Christmas! The cozy atmosphere, prime location, and festive surroundings made it a memorable holiday experience.

I had reserved this for a two night stay whilst I showed my parents around Scotland. They loved the property and the beautiful view of the Loch. The house is similar in description to the pictures and has a lovely sit out facing the Loch. Katrina & Brendan were responsive hosts and clear with their instructions. I loved the handbook of recommendations which has been written by Katrina which was quite helpful. Overall, a thoroughly peaceful and enjoyable stay!

Mandy is a great host always very quick to respond. We had a very comfortable stay in her spacious apartment. Everything you could want for a home from home. Position is ideal with Inverkip village a short walk away, with there local village hotel for something to eat and a few drinks. You can get the local bus from the village. There is also the Chartroom only a short stroll from apartment if you want somewhere closer to eat and drink. Inverkip train station is close to catch a train to Glasgow.

This apartment is gorgeous. Everything about it.... obviously it's location looking straight out onto the sea. near to the ferry over to Cumbrae. Very quiet street outside.... in fact, although the town was busy in the sunshine, it also retained its quiet family atmosphere. In the apartment everything was as described - a helpful welcome pack of bread, milk, eggs and chocolate biscuits! Spotlessly clean, everything worked, good WiFi, and a responsive host to find out one or two little questions. I would definitely recommend this apartment and would hope to come back.

My mother and I absolutely loved Claudio's flat. The view was incredible! The flat was clean and comfortable. Easy walk to town, ferry, train station, grocery store - everything you could need during your stay in Largs. So kind of Claudio to have some breakfast essentials in the fridge. We hope to stay again in the future!

Highly enjoyable, but ideally it would have received 4.5 stars. The negative aspect of this apartment was the rather noisy boiler situated in the second bedroom.

This was our third time staying at Neil’s place as it’s a perfect place to stay. Gorgeous apartment in a great area for the beach and close to town for restaurants,etc.

We had an unexpected family emergency and find this jam. Family had to travel in from a couple of different countries and the host was so flexible and so helpful. We love this place and will stay here again. Great views great space for having to work clean functional a hidden jam. Thanks so much.

Wow! Wow! Wow! We were totally blown away by how amazing this place is. What a beautiful, characterful home. Very easy space to relax in, with everything you need and more. Stunning location. Sitting in the window or on the front porch the views were mesmerising. Half an hour to Loch Lomond and The Cobbler. Discovered the sailing club across the road and watched sailing races while enjoying a G&T. Brian the host is so helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend staying here and would stay here again when we visit this part of Scotland. Thank you for a wonderful trip.

Absolute perfection- already trying to find dates to return. Beds were extremely comfortable, the place was completely spotless, property extensively spacious and the views! Oh my god, the views! Kitchen well catered for- Inc a Bosch coffee machine you should buy pods for. There is also a Webber kettle bbq outside. Hot tub was modern and just such a treat after the Glen Tarken hike. Thanks Lorna!

Secluded, peaceful, private property with a river at the bottom of the garden. Bright, airy, clean, well furnished accommodation. Loved the log burner. Very well attended clean hot tub. Owners were very attentive for any needs should they be required but not intrusive at all. The bedrooms were clean and well furnished with fully equipped bathrooms - upstairs and downstairs. Great towels provided. Plenty of space to have a quiet time inside or outside from the hot tub or seating area at the large table with chairs. Beautiful views of the river and fields through the French doors. Nice touch of freshly baked scones welcomed us on arrival. Unfortunately we could not spend much time enjoying the property over our 3 day stay due to our daughter’s wedding but we would definitely love to return again. A great property to spend time as a family with children as there is an outside play area for children and huge amount of board games and toys available in the house.

Lochranza is a lovely little village and Karen's house is right on the harbour with big direct sea views from the front room sofa...The house is ideal for two couples as we were, kitchen had all we needed for a couple of meals we had in. The Country Inn pub is just 2 minutes walk from the house and we received a friendly welcome there and had a great meal there too. The bedding in the bedrooms was great quality. Karen was very helpful with tips and information before we arrived. We had a marvellous stay and highly recommend Sea Breeze east.

Superb property. The house was very comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen. Bedrooms all a good size and plenty of living space. The views across the loch are amazing. The kids loved playing hide and seek in the large garden, which is very private and not overlooked. We should have made more of the outside patio with the well appointed garden furniture. Lynn the host sent us really useful info about things to do and places to eat in the area. We did quite a few and they were all great recommendations. She also responded to queries about activities really quickly and checked in to make sure everything about our stay was going ok. Location is really good. Easy access to nearby Rhu and Helensburgh. We found it a good base from which venture out for a range of activities and big enough to spend time in the garden and house - and enjoy the views. A great property and brilliant host. We would highly recommend.

This was our second stay at Grants home. A lovely house in an ideal location. We were blessed with great weather and with the beach in such easy reach we swam every day. We would not hesitate to recommend this house as the ideal location for a stay on Arran.

If I could give 6 out of 5 stars, I would. Antia’s place is a hidden gem – peaceful, personal, and located right by a beautiful river where you can even swim. Communication was smooth, and finding the place was easy thanks to her detailed instructions. The house is being lovingly built and upgraded by Antia herself, and that care is felt in every detail. Cozy bedrooms, a perfectly equipped kitchen, and a living room that invites long chats around the table. A true highlight: Antia arranged dinner by a local chef. At first I hesitated at the price, but it was worth every penny – fresh bread, a delicious starter, a main to heat up, and the most amazing cheesecake. Sitting in the warm kitchen, listening to Taylor Swift’s Folklore, the river outside… unforgettable. My stepbrother called it a “burnout retreat,” and he was right. We felt grounded, recharged, and very lucky to have found this place. Thank you, Antia – we’ll definitely be back.

We had an excellent stay at Cobblerview Apartment! The view was, of course, gorgeous - but the care that Carol & Don took in ensuring our stay was comfortable was greatly appreciated and made our experience especially enjoyable. The apartment is cosy and immediately inviting, with a sizable living room space and dining table positioned next to the window and looking out onto Loch Long. Though the view you have of the loch itself is expansive, we never felt as though we didn’t have enough privacy - aside from this window out onto the water, almost all of the natural light that filters in is through skylights. We never needed for utensils or utilities, Carol & Don provided a full range of crockery, cleaning supplies and towels It’s worth bearing in mind that as this is a waterfront property, the bugs are in abundance around summer and you’ll need to have your spray on if you want to sit out on the balcony this time of year!

Smart flat very handy to the conference centre. Good size for 1 to 2 people... Everything works well including the washer dryer. Quiet neighbours, easy access.. WiFi excellent. Highly recommended and Scott was very helpful and fast.

Our stay was lovely. The view and location are fantastic, as we were able to walk many places and catch the hop on hop off bus nearby. We enjoyed the space when we spent time in as well, found it comfortable. The vinyl and record player were also a fun feature!

The location was absolutely pristine with the most breathtaking views from every window. We slept so well! Jill and Simon were so proactive and easy to communicate with. we felt very welcome and loved our stay!

We were warmly welcomed by Cathy. She had bread and shortbread and jam ready for us. That she had made herself😋. The landlords were easily accessible when we needed them. The apartment had everything we needed and we received clear instructions on how to operate the equipment Furthermore, we had a fantastic view of Loch Long and the mountains. Beautiful garden and terrace with beautiful plants. And especially not to forget a nice one at 5 minutes walking distance to let the dog out. This is a place that we will definitely book if we visit the highlands again.😃

Great host, great apartment and a great holiday! We really appreciated how thoughtful Vincent was - from leaving fresh milk and some Scottish biscuits for us, to making sure that the apartment was equipped with everything we needed. Cove was also a wonderful surprise - what a beautiful place! We would highly recommend both Vincent's apartment and Cove to anyone.

I had a really nice time in Helensburgh and especially at the apartment. It had everything I needed. The bed was super comfy! The flat is really close to the Central trainstation, but quit a walk from the Upper trainstation. I underestimated that walk uphill. The flat is close to the waterfront, which I loved! All in all my stay was very nice and I can absolutely recommend it!

This is a fantastic apartment in a beautiful location. It’s well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay and the information provided by Ryan was really useful. It’s easy is remote as described so we came prepared with all of the food and drink supplies we needed for the three days we were there however there was a great little shop on the complex nearby where we stopped for a couple of things during our stay. As suggested by Ryan we did the Carrick Castle Loop walk, the Donich Falls Walk, the Bridge of Orchy drive and hired a boat on Loch Goil. All of which were fantastic and we’d highly recommend. The Goil Inn and Boat Shed Cafe both served good food and were friendly and welcoming places to eat. Would definitely recommend a stay in the fabulous place.
