Iron your plus as there are championship golf courses nearby at Turnberry, Prestwick, and Royal Troon, all within 13 miles.

Cottage was lovely and comfortable and the garden was huge which our dog absolutely loved. The hot tub was fantastic and very relaxing at the end of the day. It was a very peaceful and relaxing holiday for all of us. The hosts were very warm and friendly especially when we had a power cut they came up to see us and couldn't have been more helpful.

Good location for exploring the area. The Drive down to the big house was useful for dog walk and a nice to have a secure garden. Traffic noise sometimes a nuisance but it was stated in the details so we expected it. Hot tub was a nice feature.

The cottage was ideal for touring South Ayrshire and only a 15 min drive from Dumfries House which is a must visit. The road is a busy shortcut across country but a high wall and fencing keeps the garden secure for pets. A pity that the landowner of the estate does not encourage visitors with appropriate signage but loads to visit all around

Good location for visiting places of interest and walking sections of the river Ayr pathway. Dean Castle, Kilmarnock, worth visiting for significant collection of musical instruments and armour. Dumfries House and grounds should not be missed. Plenty of interest for fans of Scotlands great poet, Robert Burns.

Had a lovely weekend at the property but there was no internet access as listed. The hot tub was broken although we were allowed to use another on the estate. I had elderly parents with me and they found the property cold at this time of year. Even after heating the rooms cooled down quickly. Road can be busy and noisy.
