Situated in rural Ayrshire with easy access to the town of Maybole with shops and eateries, Dairy Cottage is a semi-detached cottage providing an ideal base from which to explore the glorious Ayrshire countryside and coast. It is only a short drive to the harbour village of Maidens where you can walk along the beach up into the fantastic Culzean Castle estate with stunning clifftop views over the sea to Arran and Ailsa Craig. The Ayrshire Coastal Path runs along this coastline and is very popular with walkers. The area is steeped in history with many ruined castles to explore, such as Dunure, Turnberry and Greenan. A visit and tour to 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, part of the Princes Foundation and home to an unrivalled collection of Chippendale furniture. The 2000-acre estate has been beautifully designed with stunning walks throughout the grounds.
The world famous Turnberry Resort is just a short drive and in addition to golf has a fantastic spa and outdoor centre. Royal Troon is also easily accessed. The Galloway Forest Park is only a 30-minute drive away and is Britain’s largest forest park with 300 square miles of wild beauty waiting to be explored. The park boasts tranquil valleys, rugged rock faces, forest, moorland, lochs and ancient woodland and a huge diversity of wildlife including red and roe deer, wild goats and many birds of prey. The park has also been awarded the status of one of only four Dark Sky Parks in the western world and when the sun sets enthusiasts come to wonder at the universe revealed above.
The pretty seaside towns of Prestwick and Troon are close by and there are very good rail links for a trip to the cosmopolitan city of Glasgow and also historic Edinburgh. The islands of Cumbrae, Arran and Bute are all easily reached for a day out while day trips to Ireland can be taken from Cairnryan. Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park is just over an hour’s drive and is well worth a visit. Beach 3 miles.

The cottage was superb and exceeded our expectations. It was very comfortable and spacious. The location was perfect for the places we wanted to visit on our holiday. Lovely walks from the cottage to enjoy the countryside surrounding Maybole. The farmyard animals were very entertaining! We would very much recommend to others.

Traditional cottage with a modern, fresh feel inside. Very spacious. Well equipped with everything you’d need for a self-catering break. The owners were really helpful and shared local knowledge to help us make the most of our break. We really enjoyed walking in the area and did a mix of hill, coastal and forest walks. A peaceful, relaxing break.
