You can also see the Isle of Arran from the farm - offering up some of the best sunsets you will ever see. Ferry services go from Ardrossan, Gourock, and Wemyss to Arran, Argyll and Bute, Cumbrae and the Mull of Kintyre. The Ayrshire Coastal Path is 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; it is also a haven for bird watchers.

We had a great three generational, two week family holiday at Yonderton House. The house was a perfect size for my extended family and not having a long drive or flights worked really well with young kids. The house is very well appointed and everything provided including wood for the log burners. We only had the fire on the first night, thereafter it was a heat wave and the weather was unbelievable. The view from the front of the house over the hills to Arran is stunning and plenty of car parking space (easily six cars). Large grass, child friendly back garden with a very large patio with dining table and chairs. We would definitely return for a family gathering in future.
