The village of New Cumnock is steeped in history dating back to the 13th century. The famous Scottish poet Robert Burns frequently visited the nearby beautiful river valley of Glen Afton, and made the River Afton famous in the song 'Flow gently sweet Afton among thy green braes'. A memorial cairn has been created partway along the Glen by local Burns enthusiasts, and it has an attractive picnic area. Ideally situated for exploring the stunning scenery of Ayrshire and the Isle of Arran, the area boasts the stunning links courses of Royal Troon and Turnberry, both well worth a visit, as is the historic seaside resort of Ayr, which offers excellent shops, bars, restaurants and sandy beaches. Wonder at the spectacular 18th century Culzean Castle, in its picturesque cliff-top setting, or enjoy the 600 acre country park complete with deer park and swan pond. Visit Drumlanrig Castle to take in the fine art, antiques, impressive gardens and tearoom, or take a trip to Dumfries House to view the collection of Chippendale furniture or explore the grounds of the estate - you may even encounter the resident ‘smelly’ ghost! A lovely part of Scotland, with something to suit all tastes.

Previous visitors' comments about Mote Cottage:
Lovely cosy cottage!
Mr Playford, Gateshead, December 2011
A lovely quiet cottage set in beautiful country away from any traffic or the noise of a big city. Ideal retreat for anyone wanting to get away from it all. The use of the cottage garden was a wonderful idea and the children enjoyed the animals to visit. It was a good base for visiting Glasgow and the trip to Edinburgh didn't take too long either. Worth a stay.
Mrs Taylor, Peterborough, August 2011
The location was central for the places that we chose to visit. It was set in fabulous countryside and was perfect for our needs.
