The house is amazing. Excellent quality and comfort. Well equipped. Warm and cosy. Very spacious rooms. The garden is huge and secure for dogs. Beautiful views. Each room has well chosen furniture and curtains. Log fire makes a welcoming telly night. Girvan has an Asda for shopping but sadly Girvan is a run down place not one to visit. Couple of walks from the cottage are lovely. Further afield there are lots of walks and places to visit.Sat in the garden in the sun in October it was so relaxing watching & listening to the birds. Would stay here again.

Pinclanty cottage was beautiful in a stunning part of Scotland! We had a great stay, there was everything you needed to make our stay extra special. Jack and Laura were easy to contact and very helpful when needed. The cottage was much bigger than expected, very clean and well presented, it had a real homely feel, would highly recommend staying there, The area is quiet and free from hustle and bustle, just what we needed. We were very lucky to have sunshine all week and no midges 😀 would definitely stay there again!
