What our customers say about their holidays

  Rusko Stables is a lovely, well equipped holiday accommodation. We enjoyed staying there and found it was generally well suited to our needs. We know the area and this was a very good base to visit from. Having an en suite for each bedroom was perfect. The description of the accommodation was accurate, but it would have been helpful to know that the middle bedroom didn’t have a wardrobe or storage. With an adult and a 17 year old sharing it as a twin room, it was a bit awkward as they had to store their clothes in the cupboards in the hallway outside. The kitchen, lounge, dining area is very nice and a social space, although some side tables would be handy. The view from the patio at the back is beautiful, but the space could be better equipped and utilised, and could use some shade or a canopy. It’s also a bit impractical to take food and drinks all the way down the stairs and around the building. A garden space at the front would be easier to access for outside dining and drinks. Overall we had a lovely holiday and really enjoyed our stay at Rusko Stables.

  Had a week at same cottage in July , so was return visit November 3 days.

  Beautiful cottage inside & outside. Looks exactly same as photos. Spotless clean. Broken kettle was replaced quickly. Owner Caroline very helpful & obliging. Secure garden for our young Cavapoo dog. Handy local shop across road. Lovely local walks lots grass across road and entrance to the right to beach. Nice Walk to harbour area with lots of seats. 10 min coastal drive to Girvan. This time round due to health issues we drove car to furthest away car park towards caravans then it’s approx 25 min walk along caravan pathway & into back of Culzean Castle grounds & Swan pool with castle another 30 min walk . In summer we walked along beach & first entrance at a small waterway (which we missed ) or can climb the wooden steps further along (steep climb) Dog settled well in cottage & loved beach & our walks. Great family cottage & great for dogs too.

  Sadly a bad start that got worse.

  Lack of towels on arrival but quickly rectified in fairness. But it was similar to July review (not seen by me previously) and I agree it is very much in need of a deep clean. Little cleaning products supplied. Poor quality pans I wouldn’t bother using. Stained bedding which was very off putting. Shower not useable for 3 days because thermostatic control was broken, eventually fixed by cleaner who turned boiler down. Water cloudy and we needed to use bottled. Power went out in the middle of the night (it’s on a meter unbeknown to us as no warning info supplied) we left 2 days earlier than planned. I wouldn’t normally give a bad review but reported to owner the issues. He assured us it would get sorted and offered discount if we booked again. But it wasn’t sorted after last review… so not good enough!

  This property lives up to its photographs.

  Clean, modern and with everything you need. Open plan downstairs makes the property very spacious. The garden is first class for dogs, completely secure and I had no worries letting my little pooch wander whilst the enormous patio (triple windows) were wide open, giving a real inside/outside feel. Maidens is a gem and you really can see the sea (and the Isle of Arran) from the property. The beach is literally two minutes walk from the front door. Ayrshire was lovely to explore, lots of lovely dog walks (Culzeon Castle is a must visit), although we did struggle to find anywhere to eat inside with the dog. We even took the ferry across to Arran for the day. I cannot recommend this property highly enough and will definitely be coming back. Thank you for a lovely stay.
