Cottage holiday rentals in Kilmarnock

A very beautiful cottage in a private setting. We were met by George on arrival. George was very friendly and informative. We instantly felt right at home. Welcome basket on the kitchen table was a lovely touch. We settled in very quickly and with ease as parking was right outside the cottage. We enjoyed the very clean hot tub in the evenings after our busy days out as well as excellent carryout deliveries. Quality of food was very good. Another highlight was watching the various types of birds feeding, which we could see from the kitchen table and seating area. Especially the Woodpecker which made a regular appearance. We all enjoyed a truly relaxing break in very comfortable and private surroundings. Our check-in and check-out was effortless. Thank you George and Amanda, we will certainly be back.

A great getaway with loads to do close by for whatever mood you're in - great towns and cities like Calendar and Stirling less than half an hour away, equally beautiful countryside and multiple waterfalls, lochs and walks to choose from on the doorstep. Our toddler loved the on site swimming pool and the grown ups enjoyed the peaceful views from the hot tub too! Rosie was so friendly and accommodating.

An absolute stunning break, our third time here. A quiet, comfortable home and a spectacular garden space for my autistic son to be himself, and my 3 Chihuahuas felt like they were in heaven. The hot tub was well used, even my elderly mum had a go. We had some lovely visits to the surrounding areas but mostly enjoyed the rest and relaxation that we all needed. We can’t wait to come back again.

We absolutely loved staying at the cottage. This was our third place during our Scotland trip and I am so glad we booked it. It allowed us to explore more nature scenes across Scotland and simply have a safe and comfortable home after exploring all day. If we are ever in Scotland again, we will certainly book again.

I had a lovely weekend in Dawn and Darren’s wonderful cottage! It was clean and spacious, with great amenities . The added bonus of having a wood fire hot tub outside is fantastic! The cottage is in a lovely area for getting into nature, only a 10 minute walk to Loch Leven! Dawn was great to communicate with, very helpful and generous Will be back to visit again!

An absolutely wonderful stay at Tamano Farm for my partners birthday with our friends and toddler. The cottage is spacious, clean, family friendly and comfortable with all amenities you can ask for. The kitchen was well equipped and the large dining table was great for dining together. Our toddler especially enjoyed seeing the sheep, lambs and feeding the donkeys. The surroundings are very peaceful and scenic. We appreciated the effort to be as eco friendly as possible. Everyone loved the hot tub and sauna. Takes some time to set up, that is to be expected as wood fired but was well worth it and very relaxing. Very friendly hosts with great communication. No complaints about our stay at all we could have stayed for much longer. Thank you for having us!

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 .

We had a really lovely stay at the cottage, and as others have said the games room is fabulous fun, the horses were a huge hit with our kids, and we thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub after a fun day out! Thank you again Helen and family for a super place to relax and have great fun. We really enjoyed our visit.

We stayed at Hayley's place for a couple of nights to break up a long journey home from the outer hebrides. The home is really tastefully designed and decorated and we felt relaxed and comfortable from the moment we walked through the door. The one issue we did have was resolved immediately for ys us. Thanks Hayley for a lovely place.

It has been a pleasure to stay in Zan's house. Very comfortable, clean and makes you feel at home. The children loved the horses, chickens and all the animals. It was the perfect spot to recharge our batteries

Great small cottage as a base for exploring the Dunoon area, we had a lovely day at Benmore Gardens and a great trip over to Loch Lomond and Arachar. The cottage is compact but has everything that you need with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and bedroom. Top tip is to buy your tickets before getting on the ferry over from Gourock, if you’re coming that way as they charge a fortune if you buy on- board!

We had a fantastic stay at this cozy countryside cottage. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the cottage had all the equipment we could possibly need — from kitchen essentials to comfortable bedding and even thoughtful little extras. The location is perfect if you’re looking to relax and unwind in beautiful natural surroundings. We enjoyed the fresh air and the calm of the countryside. The host clearly put a lot of love into the place, with plenty of charming details that made it feel both homey and special. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet, well-equipped escape in a lovely setting!

First of all can I just say what a beautiful cottage this is, you certainly will not be disappointed. We had a fantastic week here beginning with the lovely welcome gifts left by Kate. We made full use of the opportunity to walk our dog across the farm and the surrounding area, he loved it. Far enough away for a complete relaxing get away, but close enough to all the attractions of central Scotland to fill your days. We fully intend to return next year. Thank you

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

Beautiful cottage with everything you need to make you feel at home. Lovely location with lots to do in the nearby area. Thank you for a wonderful few days. Would definitely return!

We had a wonderful time at Alison’s place and Alison was so lovely and informative, letting us know all the good walks and things to do nearby! We can’t wait to come back to this peaceful gem in the trossachs and loved how close Nether Glenny is to Aberfoyle if we did need anything! Fantastic stay and host, can’t recommend enough! :)

We loved the Studio, had a great 3 day stay and hope to visit again. The Studio is large, airy, well laid out, and well equipped, and we particularly appreciated the very comfortable beds and furniture. It's set in a large garden with great views. Very quiet and peaceful. The kitchen has a wide range of everything you need when you're self catering, all very clean. For a retired couple like us, it was ideal - thank you Gordon and Maureen.

We went for peace and views, and we got that and more, the home was clean and tidy with a great information pack and yes we would return in fact we didn`t want to leave, The bed was comfy and the shower was easy to use. This home is in the ideal aera to go exploring this part of Scotland with all you need in Thornhill which is only 10 minutes away.

Very cosy comfortable stay. Would loved to have stayed longer than 2 days. Beautiful area, shame the weather wasn’t kinder.

I’ve stayed here on a few occasions both with family and on my own when touring the west coast by motorcycle. Every time i stay it gets better and more things are added to the beautiful garden for you to explore. Highly recommended and the Hosts can’t do enough.

Heather was a great host. Communicative, helpful and thoughtful. The accommodation is a unique space with very quirky features. The bedroom is serene , tranquil and the peacefulness assisted in a great nights sleep. It is a retreat from a busy world in the most marvellously scenic village. For the price we paid, it was great value for money. Thank you Heather.

We loved the place. Comfortable, clean, close to town. Gill was a wonderful host!

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!

I absolutely cannot recommend Amanda’s place enough, we thoroughly enjoyed our week there. Everything was spotless, beautifully finished, with homemade cake to top it off. It’s in a great area, lots of walks nearby, close to the seaside & other amenities. A very enjoyable & peaceful stay, we would love to return to the area to stay again!
