Cottage holiday rentals in Kilmarnock

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!

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.

We loved our stay at Rosie’s, she was very welcoming and friendly, great comms. The views are stunning; and a pint and food in the walkable Black Bull Inn is a must. Incredible view of the night sky if you get lucky with the weather.

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!

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 and peaceful, with super loch views and a relaxed vibe. Nicely curated and perfect for our elderly golden retriever as everything was, bar a few steps here and there, on one level. The covered deck is ideal whatever the weather. Would recommend.

We have just returned from the most wonderful long weekend stay at the Coach House, and we loved every minute of it. The setting is so beautiful and peaceful, and we were so lucky with the weather to be able to enjoy the outdoor space all day and into the evenings, watching the little lambs in the field and the wildlife come and go from the pond, and listening to the bird song, it’s was glorious. The house is lovely, spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. We loved sitting out at the campfire at night and stargazing, and having a soak in the wood fire tub. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to return, it’s a very special place. Thanks so much to the Slogarie team for such a wonderful getaway, we will be back!

Wonderful stay. The location is absolutely superb. What amazing views and so peaceful and remote. Sitting in the hot tub looking out over the hills was pure bliss!! And the stars you could see on a clear night, wow. Despite being so remote it’s close enough to Edinburgh that you can drive in and do all the attractions. So just perfect. Kylie was a fab host too, leaving Easter eggs for the kids and letting the kids feed her kunekune pig one day! The animals are great, especially Karen then hen, although she will come inside if allowed haha! All in all, we had a fantastic stay. Thank you Kylie

A lovely little flat, ideal for 2 people, but we managed with a child and... a dog! Whilst the space is rather limited, Anne ensured that it is functional and well thought through. She's also provided coffee (which was delicious with our breakfasts), milk and snacks, which was a lovely bonus. The flat is newly refurbished and modern and it was very, very clean when we arrived! The bed is on a small end of things, so I opted to sleep on the sofa with the child, which was extremely comfortable. Location is a good compromise for visitors who want to be close enough to Edinburgh, but also have quick access to the north. Thanks Anne, you are a great host!

We had a great time at Libby’s. We used this location as a central landing place after exploring around St Andrew’s, Stirling, Falkirk, Culross. We felt well taken care of and appropriately checked in on. It was a very cosy stay!

Loved my stay at this beautiful cottage. Such a spacious, homely cottage with an amazing big enclosed garden for the dog. I’ll definitely be back!

Lovely cottage, very clean and had everything we needed. Nicola was lovely and really helpful

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

Lovely and tranquil, would love to return in the summer.clean and fresh.another great Airbnb experience.easy to find and all essentials there too like teabags/coffee .my dogs first night away and she loved it too..thanks Vicki

As a group of 5 girls visiting the area for a wedding 20 minutes away in Culross, Pascale's Lodge was everything we could have wanted. Pascale is so great to communicate with guests, we amended our booking to add the 2 extra people in February and she immediately adjusted the cost and informed me that it was all ok. The house has everything you need, and was comfortable even at full capacity. The countryside is so beautiful, we were sorry not to have the time to explore! It was easy to arrange for local taxis to and from the wedding venue and an Uber from the airport was reasonable too. There is just one bathroom, so we needed to stick to a rota but water was hot for every shower. We cooked on the first evening and the kitchen was perfect. It was so quiet overnight, and everyone had plenty of space to sleep. An added bonus was meeting Hector and Buddy, Pascale's beautiful dogs. This place is incredibly good value, the host is kind and communicative, we highly recommend!

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.

Great location and great place to stay, well fitted kitchen, ample room and lovely knowledgeable host. Would highly recommend

fantastic property, very clean and as described on the write up. very scenic views and great for walking. easy chdck in and we would definitely stay again. great location for the Kelpies, overall really great!

This was the most incredibly beautiful property in a stunning location. Pier Cottage is so private and peaceful with views over Loch Striven where you can sit and relax whilst watching the array of wildlife around you or take the kayak out on the loch. The cottage was extremely comfortable and well appointment with everything you would need for you stay. If you are looking for somewhere to unplug from the world and completely relax - this is the ideal place.

The cottage is in a beautiful location, with walking from the door and useful nearby amenities in Strachur. The space is well thought out and the garden and seating lovely to enjoy a cup of tea in the sunshine. The bed was lovely and comfy and the shower was great too! Well equipped kitchen for self catering, we also tried The Creggans Inn and had a lovely meal there especially the local seafood. Highlights for us were walking the Cowal way from the door toward Curran Lochain which makes a beautiful spot for a picnic and visiting Inverary and castle.

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

Nothing short of amazing! A nature lover’s paradise (even with the Scottish weather). Got dry weather for an hour one morning haha so had a lovely breakfast in the garden. Met two tiny (literally newborn) lambs in the field next to us! All wobbly on their feet. So cute!! Friendly hosts, very clean and well decorated.

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage! We had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The views were absolutely stunning. It was the perfect escape for me and my 9-year-old daughter; we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The cottage was cozy, clean, and just what we needed to unwind. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat and very close to Loch Lomond.

Heather's place in Tighnabruaich was perfect for our long weekend exploring the Argyll. The cottage was warm, cosy and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I would definitely recommend staying here.
