This is the ideal base for not only families but small groups of friends to explore the delights of beautiful Ayrshire and this stunning coastline. The local town of Girvan has been voted the ‘Most Dog Friendly Town in the UK’ and Ardstinchar Mews welcomes your four-legged friends.
The property looks across the mouth of Loch Ryan towards Corsewall Point and Northern Ireland, and Ballantrae itself is a pretty village overlooked by the ruins of Ardstinchar Castle. Guests will find plenty of opportunities for fishing nearby, and during the summer months the village hosts a variety of events. There is a visitor information point to help you plan your days and being situated on the Ayrshire Coastal Path (a fantastic 100 mile walking route), this coastline is steeped in history. Teeming with wildlife, including red squirrels, deer, otters and seals it is also a haven for bird watchers.
Heading north, the seaside town of Girvan with its harbour and leisure centre with a swimming pool, is only a 15-minute drive away and boat trips can be taken out to Ailsa Craig to see the varied birdlife. The towns of Ayr, Troon and Prestwick are all good for a day out, with plentiful restaurants, shops and bars. Heading further down the coast, ferries can be taken over to the islands of Cumbrae, Bute and Arran. Glasgow and Edinburgh are easily accessible for a day out. Further south, you will find Stranraer situated at the head of Loch Ryan. The town has an array of shops and there are plenty of places to dine out. There are many castles and gardens to visit as well as lovely harbour villages including Portpatrick, Drummore and Scotland’s most southerly point at the Mull of Galloway. Beach 500 yards.

Home from Home. This cottage was ideal. The cleanliness was to a very high standard. The kitchen had everything and more you could need. The pool table was loved and very well used. Would have no hesitation on recomending to others.

This accommodation was amazing, everything we needed and more. Brilliant location, lots to see and do.The house was equipped with everything to make our stay, towels, bedding, etc even a welcome pack and milk in the fridge was amazing!!Was contacted by owners just before our visit and seemed very nice and helpful. Definitely think about using this house again if we plan another stay in the area. 10 out of 10!!

Home spotlessly clean and everything inside that you could need.We did have issues with downstairs bathroom smell from drains which was not resolved. The hot tub broke down which I appreciate was out of the owners control. It was however one of the main factors when booking the accommodation. I feel pictures are slightly misleading as only small seating area at top of steep stairs. We had my mum who has mobility issues so outside space not accessible which confined her to indoors. The owners where very approachable and immediately tried to resolve issues.Overall lovely accommodation but unfortunately did not meet our needs.
