The Cottage is a cosy, clean and beautifully decorated home with everything you need for a self catering holiday. The bed is very comfortable and a bonus is having access to a garden sun room looking out on a surprisingly large garden. The overall location is very quiet.The Cottage is within walking distance of the beach, coastline, harbour and small shops. An Asda is the only large supermarket - 5 to 10:mins by car.Girvan is a good location to explore Ayrshire including Colzeath Castle and the Robbie Burns town of Alloway.Recommended
