Cottage holiday rentals in Ayrshire

Incredible views around Elie, the coast and golf course. The property is highly specced and we could not be happier with our visit. Fiona provides clear instructions on how to access the property. Will definitely be back!!

Beautiful little cottage. Loads to do without leaving the front door including hot tub, fire and BBQ. Area and garden is stunning! Jane was very helpful and communicative on check in and check out, very friendly! Clean and as described in photos.

We loved our stay! The views were wonderful. The host and surrounding people are so welcoming. 10/10. The brownies and champagne are truly an adorable touch.

We had a fantastic time at The Stables celebrating our rescue greyhound’s fifth birthday - she got to run around happily in the enclosed garden whilst we enjoyed our complimentary Prosecco in the hot tub!Secluded location, relaxing and everything you could need thought of by Paul & Fiona. Highly recommend!

Beautiful location for a lovely farm stay, great views from the hot tub! Loved being able to watch the cows and sheep. Claire was lovely and was ready to help at any moment despite us arriving so late at night! Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!

Dina was great. She was away while we visited but was still helpful and responsive from Australia. Beautiful peaceful little home with views of the pasture, cows, and rabbits from the hot tub area.

We had a wonderful stay with my family at this historic cottage. Especially loved the easy access to the Fife Coastal Path that we walked daily into Burntisland or Aberdour. Excellent hosts as well. Thank you for your hospitality, we would highly recommend this property!

Had a lovely stay at this cottage . Near to Edinburgh as my son was doing the marathon but in a lovely location . Kylie was response to our messages and a lovely homemade loaf gave that extra touch for our arrival . Would definitely recommend and stay again .

The cottage was perfect , so well equipped and cosy. The bed was incredibly comfortable with gorgeous linen. Plenty of towels and little extras. We didn’t need to use the log burners as was great weather but must be lovely in both rooms with the burners on. We had a slight issue with hot water and Diane drove from Glasgow to resolve the problem for us Amazing service by Diane who was so friendly and helpful. Loved our stay here. Lovely walks and beaches around plus a great visit to the Isle of Gigha.

Lovely residence exactly as described even down to little things like fresh flowers in every room and fresh milk in the fridge. Bed lovely and comfy so had excellent nights sleep. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful hosts, even offered to pick us up from the ferry port. Very welcoming and kind. The cottage is beautiful and in a lovely location. Very well equipped, including hair dryer, iron, and anything you could need in the kitchen. Highly recommend, we will definitely be back.

Fabulous wee cottage in a beautiful garden overlooking the sea. Worked perfectly for us as a ‘micro break’ allowing us to forget the time pressures and responsibilities of the real world for a few days. Tastefully decorated with seaside vibes and everything you needed on hand. Want to tell folks how great it was but the same time want to keep it a secret so that there will be space to book again!

Lucy is a very kind and generous person. She will do her utmost to help with any problems. Yesterday, I went out the back door to find a box of eggs from her chickens. She leaves them regularly. I know if there is anything where I need assistance I just need to ask and she's there. A truly super host

Peel lodge was just a perfect stay for us. We were near to one of our daughters who was preparing for her imminent wedding. But also easy access to go exploring for our future home. The lodge was clean and tidy on our arrival . We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay here and would highly recommend .

Idyllic place in a beautiful location - short walk to the beach and the rat race event. Was super clean, shower is great, bed comfy and perfect size for myself. I lucked out in a sunny week and the lil terrace table and chair got sunlight through the day. Lorna was super responsive and quick and efficient. Great stay in a beatific island - recommend Goat Fell and Massif hikes - thanks

Arlene's place is unique, a tiny cottage made for 2, in peaceful countryside. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed, including essentials for a cup of tea. Great for getaway away from it all, I would highly recommend and would stay again if I was in the area.

Had a brilliant stay. Middle of the countryside. Beautiful. Really felt relaxed and at home. Had everything that I needed. Claire is a wonderful person too. Glad she popped over for the chat. Even seen UFO’s Looking forward to going back someday.

Beautiful cottage - comfortable, cosy and equipped with everything you’ll need for a great stay. Lots of lovely original features - especially the wonderful bath and shower! Beautiful bedrooms with comfortable beds and beautiful views. Peaceful location and conveniently located. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend for your stay in the Lakes!

A lovely cosy little cabin in beautiful grounds of a large home, the gardens are gorgeous and I enjoyed walking around them and greeting the chickens. It was really nice to have a good log burner and wood in the living space, and a comfortable bed. Well equipped, lovely place and would stay again if in the area.

Alison is a delightful lady. So kind and helpful. Her cottage ( we stayed in Jemima Puddleduck) was very comfortable. Beds and pullows especially and all spotlessly clean. All we needed was provided Alison had thought of everything. We had a fantastic week. Thank you.

What a fantastic space. Beautiful cottage and gardens and stunning surroundings. Great friendly and helpful hosts. A good spot with lots of things to do and see. We had a wonderful week at Arrivain and would definitely go back.

We had a great weekend at Fiona’s cottage despite the rainy weather. The cottage is as described and would be absolutely delightful to sit in the beautiful garden enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The cottage is very private and well looked after. We loved lighting up the log fire in the evenings sipping a glass (or 2) of wine and watching the rain fall, absolutely magical. Fiona is a very responsive and helpful host, when we arrived at the cottage we realised there was no hot water, we contacted Fiona and whithin an hour (or less!) we had a technician come to us who solved the problem in a matter of minutes, we were very impressed by Fiona’s prompt action. We managed to bike down to Old Castle Lachlan and Kilmorie Chapel when the rain let up a bit, lovely scenery and an easy ride on our e-bikes. We dined at The Creggan’s Inn and spotted a red squirrel, 2 does and a fawn on the road down to/from The Oystercatcher, absolutely amazing! Thank you for having us Fiona, we will be back!

Very beautiful place to stay! The kitchen gave us inspiration for our own home and the bathroom was lovely. All around a very pretty home. Annie was very responsive and gave us some helpful suggestions on what to do during our stay. Also, if you like cows you may get to see a large herd of them right behind the rental! There’s a large sloped field that rises up behind the house and we enjoyed watching the cows come and go during our stay.

We had the most wonderful stay at Blackside Cottage and can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much care and attention Andrew and Elizabeth put into making the place welcoming, comfortable, and beautifully presented. The cottage itself is immaculate – stylishly decorated, cozy, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen was a real highlight – far better stocked than most places we’ve stayed – and the log-burning fire made our evenings incredibly relaxing. The setting is just magical. Peaceful, private, and surrounded by stunning countryside, it was the perfect place to switch off and unwind. The freestanding bath was a real luxury – perfect for a long soak after a day of exploring. Andrew and Elizabeth were brilliant hosts. Everything was smooth from booking to check-out. This place is a real gem!
