Cloncaird Castle Cottages

These luxurious cottages are set in the grounds of Cloncaird Castle in beautiful Ayrshire countryside near to the village of Kirkmichael, close to the town of Maybole and ten miles from Ayr. Parts of the castle date back to the 16th century and it is steeped in fascinating history. The cottages date back over 100 years and are built of either granite or sandstone and four of them are gathered around a central courtyard. They are superbly finished with underfloor heating, oak panels and a mix of slate and oak flooring and provide a mix of sizes and styles to suit all manner of guests. The cottages are set on a 140 acre estate encompassing walks, a pond, a fountain, a river with salmon fishing rights and wonderful gardens. Kirkmichael is just over a mile away and has a shop and pub, plus the nearby town of Maybole has a good selection of shops, cafes and restaurants. The Ayrshire coast is within ten miles and features a wide range of small villages and coastal towns, as well as Culzean Castle which is well worth a visit. Many championship golf courses are close at hand including the world-famous links at Troon and Turnberry, plus Prestwick Airport is only a half hour drive away. Alternatively, head inland to discover Loch Doon and the Galloway Forest Park, one of only four Dark Sky Parks in the western world. This group of superb holiday cottages will provide a memorable holiday as you relax in wonderful surroundings.
