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.

Fantastic cottage!Lovely decorated cottage that had everything we needed for our stay. Beautiful surrounding areas. Nice drives, walks, views and places to explore. Sally the owner was brilliant. Very helpful and quick to respond if we had any questions. Bob and Chester (cats) welcomed us when we arrived along with 2 Chickens and 2 Ducks. So friendly. Will definitely be back. Would highly recommend.

Dairy cottage is amazing, in a fantastic quiet area on the outskirts of Maybole, it's extremely quiet and peaceful but not far to popular villages and towns. The hosts are absolutely lovely giving you space but equally always around should you need them. The cottage is the best equipped and comfortable home we've rented and believe me we've stayed in a few. There's everything you need and more with a beautiful welcome basket full of goodies. Free range hens and ducks are wonderful to watch and our favourite little buddies, Bob and Chester are always around for cuddles, pets and purrs and welcome any dreamies you may have to hand. We hope to book this cottage again in the near future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend, you truly won't be disappointed. There's lots to see and do out and about, it's easy to take a trip to the Isle of Arran from Troon which is only around a 30 minute drive, Trump at Turnberry is well worth a visit for lunch and only 15 mins away, The Corsewall Lighthouse in Stranraer is approx 1 hour 20 mins away and the food and views are amazing, there's lot's of shopping in Ayr and Prestwick, Kilmarnock, there's too much to mention but this beautiful cottage is situated perfectly for fun and exciting days out. Thanks once again to our hosts, we honestly enjoyed our week with you and hope to return soon x
