This was a very quiet spot compared to what we normally choose however we had a very relaxing time with wall to wall sunshine every day. We were happy to leave the car and go for walks in the countryside. The summerhouse was a bonus and we spent most of our time on the decking with our books only once venturing on the bus. We can recommend the Brae for meals out.

We stayed 8 to 15 May 2026.The cottage was spotlessly clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The sun room was an added bonus along with incredible views. There's extra garden furniture in the shed to be able to sit outside on the decking.The neighbours are very friendly and helpful and always spoke when they saw us.It is very well placed for getting out and about and there's plenty to see and doWe will definitely stay here again when we return to the area.

We love staying at honeysuckle it only five minutes down the road from our friends and it very clean and we’ll kept holiday home. All the neighbors are very friendly also close to Irvine beach and our little dog loves chasing balls on the beach. We like so much we have booked in November for a week. Can recommend it for a wonderful holiday
