This beautifully appointed single storey cottage with its delightful sea and countryside views is over 100 years old and has lovely feature stone walls reflecting its history. As its name suggests, Gardener’s Cottage was the former residence of the gardener of Ardmillan Castle located just over a couple of miles from Girvan in Ayrhsire. 400 years ago the castle was described thus, “The Castle of Ardmillan looked like a palace with its deep cut ditch, its large courtyard, its capacities for siege-standing, its early pears and apples.” Originally a fishing port, Girvan is now a small seaside resort and during the summer it is possible to sail around local landmarks on the lovely paddle steamer, the Waverley.
While the garden is totally enclosed, there is a pond and hens in the vicinity of the property.

This is a returning visit to Gardeners Cottage and was just as good again. We love the quietness and easy access to the beach/coastline for our dogs. The owners are so helpful and friendly and there if you need them. The cottage itself has everything you need for a very comfortable stay and the eggs Anne leaves from her hens are very welcome. The garden is dog friendly and secure and they can wander around on their own without fear of escape! Remember to bring basic cooking items with you eg oil, bread, milk and butter although Asda is only a short drive away for a larger shop as is the high street too. Enjoy your stay you won’t be disappointed.

A warm welcome from the Anne on arrival and always very friendly and helpful throughout our two week visit. A lovely dog friendly property and very comfortable and spacious and we were happy to spend more time there due to the mixed weather we experienced!! We loved the cottage and can highly recommend it.
