On Scotland's southwest coast, the lively city of Ayr can be found.

Located just 40 miles from Glasgow, this famous beach town is ideal for escaping the hustle and bustle of city life. The town's seafront is charming, and there are plenty of restaurants, pubs, and stores for people of all ages and interests. Ayr Racecourse, which dates back to the 16th century, hosts the Scottish Grand National, the Ayrshire Handicap, and the Ayr Gold Cup. You can also visit Burns Cottage, Loudoun Hall, and St. John's Tower in the town, as well as many more historical landmarks. The spectacular Galloway Forest Park, located south of the town, offers breathtaking views and a dramatic landscape dominated by the Merrick, Mulwharcher, and Rhinns of Kells mountains.

    Although the home was in a busy area it was very quiet inside. It was a large and comfortable house which was extremely clean and looked newly renovated. The beds were super comfortable and the showers had very good water pressure and we did not run out of hot water. It was bright and airy inside and I would definitely stay there again.

  • Leonard

    Aye have no troubles with the house all in fantastic accommodations thank you so so much for letting us stay in your house

  • Louise

    There were only the 3 of us staying there so plenty of room. The loo on the landing wasn’t great for my 91 year old mother at night but we managed! It’s a lovely house - although the location - not near the seaside, on a main road but great for Morrisons! And near the railway station. Hope Ayr station will reopen soon!
