Immerse yourselves in tranquil Ayrshire when you stay at this traditional cottage in scenic countryside 5 miles outside Ayr. Sleeping four guests and also welcoming two canine companions, the two-bedroom, single-storey cottage is in a prime position for anyone who enjoys walking, cycling or wildlife watching. Situated beside the entrance to Martnaham Nature Reserve and 5.5 miles from the coast, there is a myriad of picturesque footpaths and trails to follow in the area. Return from your adventures to soak in the steaming hot tub at the end of the day.

Wander inside this Scottish retreat to make yourselves at home in its bright, welcoming rooms. With a fresh, airy appeal, the attractive abode marries elements of the past, including sash windows, with more modern touches.

Head through to the kitchen/diner to make yourselves a cup of tea to enjoy with a slice of Dundee cake or shortbread from a bakery in Ayr. Prepare homemade meals to eat at the table in here too, opening the French doors onto the garden on summer days. While away your evenings in front of a roaring wood burner and a good film on TV.

Venture off to one of the two inviting bedrooms to enjoy a good night’s sleep after all your adventures. There is a double bedroom and a twin here, together with a family bathroom and a shower room. The bathroom has a spa bath.

Light the BBQ outside and enjoy the views out over the loch as it heats up. Luxuriate in the hot tub after dinner and watch the sun set over the hills from the garden. There is parking here for two cars.
