Cottage holiday rentals in Ayrshire

Absolutely amazing place for a getaway. The cottage was spotless, smelt beautifully, nicely equipped kitchen and the hot tub was a great addition too! Martyn is very friendly and responsive when messaged. In short, if you’re looking for a quiet place away from everyone,surrounded by stunning scenery and a warm/cosy cottage, then don’t look further and get this booked! 100% recommend!

We had a great stay at the Seaview Cottage! Hosts are really friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we had really wet weather but we still managed to enjoy our stay and got use out of the hot tub! This place would be unreal in sunny weather! Lots of nice places to see and take your dog which is a bonus for us! We’ll definitely be back!

Charming cottage well renovated, with everything you need, fantastic location for walks/cycling and a short drive to other attractions, would definitely come back, the views alone make you feel lucky to be here.

Booked this cottage as a getaway to propose to my partner. She said yes, which was great, and the cottage is fantastic. The photos really don't do it justice, the bathroom is massive, bed really comfy and the hot tub is incredible and feels really private (pack flip flops for getting to and from the hottub). The gate to the river is lovely but it's steep so make sure you've got some hiking boots with you. If not, just leave via the front door and turn left to get to the same place. 20 minute drive to Carlisle and about 10 mins to Gretna. Plenty to see and do but you will need to drive, couldn't find a taxi service that was open. Had a really relaxing time here and can't recommend it enough. ps. avoid the cows in the field next to the river walk (the public footpath going to st Michael's well) - they will chase you.

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.

Had a wonderful stay at Lizzies cottage which was hosted by Vince who is such a lovely friendly guy and wants to make your stay as comfortable as possible, a super host, loved hearing about the history of the cottage and you can see the hard work and love that was put in to it, will definitely be back for another stay.

My best friend and I rented the place to celebrate our birthday with some beautiful countryside and a hot tub, it really exceeded our expectations. We had issues turning the hot tub on and off again but in terms of using it was perfect. All the amenities were in great working order and beds were very comfortable. Would recommend for families as well with the massive garden and barbecue:)

Very well designed cottage making the best possible use of quite a small space - with both a shower room and bathroom , utility room as well as kitchen/living space and the patio with hot tub. Although near to the High Street with a range of takeaways and a superb butcher (Hunters) the cottage is in a very quiet street. The nearby Curate Wynd free car park was very handy and we could unload from there. Although Dawn and Darren were away Dawn was on hand to answer any queries. We had a great three day break - spending the days at the RSPB Nature Reserve in stunning weather. We ate out one night at the Balgedie Toll Tavern - highly recommended for great food and very good service.

Lovely time with family at this great cottage. We had never been to this part of Scotland before and Penpont was a very convenient base to explore from. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay for four adults - we loved the log fire and the hot tub! The kitchen is well equipped for self catering and the beds are comfortable. An excellent place to stay for small groups.

wardhall cottages is a perfect peaceful retreat. Great fire, laid and ready to light on arrival. Huge bath beautiful countryside with easy walks to a woodland with the dogs. Near to Cockermouth for shops and cafes and close to Allonby for beautiful beach walks and sunsets.

Our stay at Laura's house was incredible. She provided everything we needed and more. We had our 1yr and 3yr with us and she had a toy for them, provided a high chair and bath seat along with the cot we requested. The house was so clean and beautiful, everything was perfect! Loved being surrounded by farm land, you can see Wallace Monument from the back of the house. The back patio is fenced in so our boys could play safely. We loved the hot tub! What a bonus! Laura responded to every message immediately, she had a welcome basket of food and champagne for us, she was so helpful and accommodating. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The cottage was excellent Linda was very friendly the village doesn’t have anything in it bar a hotel and shop but it’s really good for dog walking which was what we were after. Highly recommend if you want it quiet

We spent a lovely few days in Portpatrick staying at Hill Street Cottage. Couldn’t have asked for a better location and the cottage is absolutely perfect! Lesley has thought of everything and communication from initial booking right through to our departure was faultless. We would love to return in the future. Thank you Julie, Steve & Shadow 🐶

What a fab find! We stayed here for 5 day's and really enjoyed our stay as did Sacha cat! It’s in a beautiful spot and very peaceful. The cottage is a fantastic space it has everything you need for your stay, the wood burner keeps the place cosy for lovely relaxing evenings. Would highly recommend the cottage and look forward to visiting again!

This is a super little cottage in a quiet, private lane but an easy walk from the middle of Moffat. It's outstandingly well-equipped, nicely decorated and very clean. Two things in particular stood out. First, the quality of the bedding. It's depressingly common to arrive at an Airbnb and find a cheap, thin, flimsy duvet and bobbly poly-cotton bed-linen, even in places where money has obviously been spent on things such as the television. Not so here, where there is a gorgeous feather duvet and pillows in cotton covers. Second, being able to control the timing and temperature of the heating rather than having this imposed by the owner. I was working all day and needed only a bit of heating morning and evening, not all day, and it was good to be able to organise a cool bedroom at night. Both these things made my stay memorable for all the right reasons. The owners are friendly, helpful and responsive and I'd recommend this wee place to anyone.

If you value peace, quiet, beautiful surroundings, do not hesitate to visit this place. I definitely recommend it, the house is equipped with everything you need, spotlessly clean, drinking coffee in the garden you can admire the walking deer, you really don't need anything more to relax .

We really enjoyed our stay at Corrie Cottage. The fires were perfect for evenings and the bed was very comfortable. The fish van stopping outside the house is a must if you’re there on the right day, it was the best fish we’ve ever had!

What an amazing cottage and location! Fiona was an exceptional host with outstanding responsiveness to a very late booking on our end with an early check in provided. The cottage has everything you could need and there is so much to do in walking distance and so much more with a wee drive away. We will return very soon as six days wasn’t enough! This is an outstanding option if your heading this way with a fantastic host.

We had a lovely stay at Cornelius's place. The location was great, cottage was comfy and warm (we loved the wood stove, kept the whole place warm). Our only regret was that we only had three nights there. There is so much to do you could easily spend much longer there. Thanks. Andy, Zara and Ayesha

We had a beautiful stay at Calair cottage and would love to return another time. Thank you, Tom and Lisa!

Had a lovely couple of days here for my birthday- the cottage really feels like a home from home and there are lots of little extras which make the experience, such as games, paintings, pantry items and we loved watching the birds on the feeders - we saw wood peckers and a buzzard sat in the tree opposite. Adrienne is really responsive and made the experience really easy for us! Thanks again x

An amazing place where we will definitely return!! The cottage had a really peaceful and good vibe to it, very clean and cozy! Georgina was very accommodating to our needs and we found lots of unexpected goodies (Prosecco/fresh local bread etc etc). Just perfect! 👌

We loved Fairy Cottage's location, very peaceful, but there is lots to do in the surrounding area and it's very close to Lochside where we were attending a wedding reception. Hugh was so helpful and friendly - nothing too much trouble. He greeted us when we arrived and showed us around. The cottage is beautifully decorated and has everything you could possibly need for a stay in this area. We only wished that we could have stayed longer - we were there for just 1 night. Angela had left us some little cakes which were much appreciated by us with a cup of tea after our 5 hour jorney from Lancashire after delays on the M6. Would definitely recommend Fairy Cottage if you're ever in New Cumnock area. Many thanks Hugh and Angela! Peter and Diane

A cosy, welcoming and stylish little cottage on an Incredible little island, with wonderful history and amazing views across the coastline. Very friendly and helpful locals and ferry men. Could have stayed for longer!
