Cottage holiday rentals in South Ayrshire

My family and I stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday. The house was great, very spacious with everything you need. Great surroundings and most beautiful views over the sea. Lovely walks around about. And a really nice restaurant just a 5 minute walk away called the Anchorage, the food was 10/10. Everyone really enjoyed the trip here and we’d definitely love to visit again.

Lovely place. Accurate pictures, though when you get there it feels even nicer than photos can show. Very friendly and responsive. Sometimes it can be quite a vulnerable experience travelling as an LGBTQIA+ couple, but here we felt welcome and safe. Hope to visit again with friends and family.

place was really nice and clean host was a nice guy as well really nice hot tub and nice location

We had an amazing few days staying on the farm. Elaine was really helpful as soon as we arrived, giving us recommendations for things to do in the area and having the hot tub heated up, this made it really easy to settle in. There was also a welcome pack provided on arrival too, which included Prosecco, biscuits and crisps. It also included a really helpful booklet, which showed things to do in the area, including walks, places to eat and other activities. This only helped in making us feel more at home As for the property itself, we were in the middle pod of 3 but it felt so private and secluded with great views all around you. The sunsets and sunrises were gorgeous here as well. The inside of the pod was immaculate on arrival and it had everything we needed. The hot tub was lovely, you could easily spend all day in it if you chose to as the fire wood was well stocked and it was maintained by Nick and Elaine every day. We could not recommend this more, it was a lovely trip for us.

Absolutely fantastic couple of nights away with friends. Can't recommend this accommodation enough, the attention to detail was fantastic, had absolutely everything you could need or want for a few nights away & a lovely touch from the host with wine & snacks on arrival. The location is just perfect as well, views were incredible & you really feel that you're getting away from it all. Hot tub is an added bonus! First time booking this accommodation but definitely won't be the last. Thanks again for everything Clare, we had a wonderful time. 👌

We booked this cottage as a meeting place for family coming together for a wedding in Ayr. Half from Buckinghamshire in England and the other half flying in from Austin Texas. Youngest 25 and eldest nearly 90! The accommodation was a perfect fit for us all. Plenty of space to spread out. Gorgeous, peaceful outlook to sit and watch the wildlife or to take a stroll along the path to the front of the property. Local restaurant The Holly Bush is very close, with wonderful views. Food was delicious and the owner super friendly and welcoming. Dumfries House is well worth a visit. With its free gardens to explore and take in nature. Plenty to keep all ages entertained. We also visited the beach at Maidens. Paddled in the sea, strolled along the pathway to take in a drink at the Ropes Bistro. A visit in to Lagg, another stroll along the seafront and a stop for tea and scones at Nardini's which is best known for its Ice Cream. Loch Doon Castle is worth a visit to take in the scenery alone.

Gorgeous place with beautiful scenery! Rebecca and Dave were super attentive and helpful. Would 100% recommend this place.

We absolutely loved our stay here, the hot tub made it even better. Place was immaculately clean, no faults what so ever. Basic kitchen equipment which is all you need for a few days away. Plenty of restaurants, take aways and shop within the area if you’re driving so was able to have the option there if we fancied. Access was easy and it was easy to find, we both liked how it wasn’t on a public road etc and it was so peaceful at night. We were lucky to be able to see a sunset on our first night and that was fantastic, being able to be in the hot tub and have those views was just unreal. Even on our second night the weather wasn’t the best we still loved every minute of it. We cannot recommend this enough, we will definitely be back! Thank you both again

Just arrived home after a great week in Girvan. We used the cottage as a base as we were visiting family and wanted our own space. The cottage was as described it was clean and comfortable. We had a rotten storm unfortunately and with the bedrooms being in the loft space it was a little noisy but obviously we can’t control the weather! We had everything we needed though and was warm and comfortable. The owner was very helpful and flexible to us possibly arriving a little early. Only small complaint was the small velux window in one bedroom let the light in quite early and we like it pitch black so maybe a blackout on those that don’t have them. Apart from that everything was lovely for a comfortable stay and very peaceful. 2 minute walk to a beautiful beach!

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage was very cosy, and the gardens and surroundings were beautiful. It was great to meet Karen and Scott who are lovely hosts.

Really great cottage in a beautiful setting. Superb hosts who went above and beyond. Thank you. We will definitely visit again x

We had a wonderful stay at the Wee Bothy! Our flight was delayed for a whole day but the communication with Adrienne was very good and she even offered us an extra night which was very gracious. The cottage was very charming and very well equipped and the bed was comfortable with luxurious bedding and feather pillows. It was a nice touch to have bird feeders in front of the living room window so that we were able to watch the birds from the sofa. The estate and the gardens were vast and beautiful and we even bumped into Michael who gave us a little tour of the grounds on his cart. Do watch out for the pheasants when arriving by car as they do wander on the roads.

Lovely cottage in walking distance of Ballantrae beach. Cottage was very comfortable and had everything you need for a quiet break in beautiful surroundings. The stone beach is amazing - deserted most days, clear water and a great view of Ailsa Craig. It was a perfect base for our week's holiday - about an hour to drive out to Portpatrick or head north to Troon for the golf.

Luxurious accommodation in stunning location. The open plan cottage with beautiful views and bedroom on mezzanine floor gives a feeling of complete luxury - beautiful furniture-well fitted kitchen and extremely comfortable bed and bedding. Stayed here for 2 nights at the end of road trip for NC500 to visit family - so not much time to explore but will definitely be back and stay for longer next time. Extremely good value

Absolutely lovely wee cottage. Everything you could want or need for a couple of nights break. Wif was a bit hit and miss, mostly showing no internet connection but to us that appealed as we felt “ away from it all “. Would really recommend and love to visit again in the future. Thanks Neil

The Wee Beach House was a peaceful haven on the stunning Isle of Arran. Everything was as described & we truly enjoyed the fireplace and comfortable furnishings. I’d recommend Louise’s place to anyone looking for a relaxing get-away.

Booked the stay for 4 members of my team. They couldn’t have spoken more highly of the property. Clean, well appointed and perfect for what they needed after a long day.

We had a great stay. The property is on a country estate and there are walls within the estate that the owners kindly give access to. The property is in a quiet and peaceful location but the drive to Ayr or the coast is not too long. We were really comfortable at the property.

Very peaceful stay in a great location with stunning views right out the window. Great to explore the Ayrshire area, very close to the Burns birthplace museum, and to Ayr and local area. The hosts were very friendly over the phone, clear instructions for check-in and checkout and this place was the definition of getting exactly what you paid for with no surprises. The description on the listing, the photos and the T&C’s didn’t leave out anything. Only points for improvement: - the WiFi can be a bit slow - the kitchen has all cooking tools you might need but isn’t stocked with some essentials (salt, cooking oil, etc). Again, this was clear from reading the listing, but I can see how international travellers might find it inconvenient to have to buy certain items for their stay. Overall, a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend

I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Girvan area. The castle grounds are beautiful and the house was very well equipped and clean.

Beautiful cottage in a quite private area. very homely and had everything we needed and more, even bread, butter and milk. Had prime etc. so plenty to watch on TV. Highly recommended if taking dogs on holiday as we were able to walk round the estate/paths and fields with no livestock so the dogs loved it, they appeared relaxed in the cottage and even had treats, towels and a bed left. They were able to be let out in an enclosed garden. Host was easily contactable with any questions and went above and beyond. although we did not take a third dog, when asked the day prior arrival if we could add a dog, there was no issues. I also left clothing which the host posted to my home address which was above and beyond given the inconvenience it would take to post this. The area is ideal as close to Troon (best fish and chips) , Kmarnock, Ayr and Dunfries house, so plenty to do, particularly with the dogs. I will defo stay again, in fact I just did not want to leave.

Wonderful cottage in beautiful surroundings . Had all you needed in kitchen and dining area , comfortable lounge and spotless everywhere . Will definitely return

We really enjoyed staying at Ningzhou's house. The photos don't do the house justice I would highly recommend anyone wanting to staying in Prestwick. Close to bars and restaurants. It was a big bonus that it was a house and not an apartment.

The cottage was a great, very comfortable and pleasant space. A good mix of new and old with everything I needed. A great nights sleep, after checking the starlit sky. Highly recommend for a quiet get away.
