Ayrshire is home to the Ayrshire Coastal Path, a 100-mile-long coastal walk with one of the finest panoramic coastlines in the British Isles. Crowned with a superb backdrop of the ever-changing profile of the mountains of Arran across the Firth of Clyde, this coastline is steeped in history and teeming with wildlife, including red squirrels, deer, otters, and seals and is a haven for bird watchers.
There are many ruined castles to explore, such as Dunure, Turnberry and Greenan. A visit and tour of Culzean Castle, designed by Robert Adams and truly one of his masterpieces, is one not to be missed with its dramatic clifftop location, as is a trip to the 18th century Dumfries House. The 18th-century stately home is set in 2000 acres, with the architecture of Robert Adam and the furniture of Thomas Chippendale. The New Cumnock Swimming Pool, is unique in Scotland, being the only heated, open-air, freshwater swimming pool. It was opened in 2017 by Prince Charles who gave his patronage to ensure that it wasn’t demolished.
Ayrshire is also known as ’Burns’ Country’ and is steeped in tradition and history. Visit Burns Cottage, The Burns Memorial Museum, and the Brig o’ Doon, the bridge from the famous poem Tam o’ Shanter. The seaside towns of Ayr, Prestwick and Troon are all close by with beautiful sandy beaches and stunning views towards the Isle of Arran. Day trips can be taken to Arran and Cumbrae and are well worth the effort. Day trips to Ireland can be taken from Cairnryan. Glasgow and Edinburgh are easily reached for a day out.

Lovely few nights at Mossdale Cottage over the festive period. We had everything we needed and more for a relaxing break in the countryside. Some nice touches from the host with chest of games, complimentary firewood, personalised sign wishing us a happy new year, large towels for the hot tub and gorgeous festive decor. Location - amazing views, close to the impressive Loch Doon. Amenities - had everything we needed and the local town had a co-op, convenience stores, pub, butchers and pharmacy. Cleanliness - well maintained and we felt comfortable. Value - reasonably priced. Couldn’t recommend enough and will absolutely look to return.

We couldnt recommend Mosdale cottage enough! The location is perfect if you are looking for a quiet getaway, have a dog and enjoy walking! The cottage itself was amazing, fab views, clean and we felt right at home!! The enclosed garden was great for our German Shepherd and he loved watching the sheep dog herding the sheep in the morning We will 100% be booking again for next year and had the best stay we could have asked for!! Thanks for having us!!
