“We thought Grooms cottage was very unique & well decorated, lighting the real fire each evening was a treat that we enjoyed.”

We had a very comfortable stay & the castle & ground were amazing. Also good location to get around sites like the Galloway Forest & nearby Castles. Overall had a lovely holiday & would recommend

“Cool Cottage in Castle Grounds”

Wow! The setting within the castle grounds was beautiful! The cottage was even better than it looked in the photos. After a 7 hour journey by car we were in need of some luxury for our mini-break to Ayrshire. The cottage did not disappoint! Three large comfortable ensuite bedrooms - clean and comfortable. The kitchen and dining area were well-appointed with every utensil we required during our stay. Our teenagers made the most of the extensive castle grounds to complete their workouts and runs in beautiful settings around the castle grounds. The weather was amazing and we spent two days exploring local beaches - Maidens, Ayr and Troon. As well as experiencing the local phenomenon of the 'Electric Brae'!! The cottage is well-appointed for visiting a number of local places of interest and for catching up with our Ayrshire relatives. Only downside is that there was a limited range of eating options within a comfortable range of the castle and we were not inclined to cook! We resorted to takeaways until booking a meal further afield. Unfortunately the local pub was shut for maintenance which reduced our options. Contact with castle staff was minimal suiting the Covid-19 pandemic but all were welcoming and friendly when encountered. We did not book this cottage through Sykes but went direct to the castle website - a considerable saving. ;-)
