"This is a beautiful cottage placed in a superb little hidden gem of the West coast."
The beach is a minute from your door- there views are stunning if you get good weather. The sun room at the front is a lovely haven to relax in. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need in the kitchen. The decor is well done and clutter free. Everything was very clean and tidy. The heating makes the cottage cosy and it is definitely needed on cold days. Unfortunately the beds were very uncomfortable- the mattresses were so hard and unsupportive with springs easily felt- our sleep was not great because of this. We would love to return to visit Maidens and would consider this cottage if they had better mattresses.

"My fiancée and I had a lovely, restful week at the cottage."
The cottage is decorated very tastefully and is much bigger than it appears from the outside, making it very comfortable/spacious for two occupants. The bathroom/ shower is excellent. There are beautiful views across towards the sea and there are some lovely attractions only a short drive away (Culzean castle being a highlight). We would definitely use the cottage again as we had a lovely relaxing week there.

"Such a beautiful cottage."
Very well equipped with everything you need and spotlessly clean . We Loved sitting in the conservatory with a couple of glasses of wine, looking at the water. We definitely want to come back and hopefully will! Thank you for a 5 star experience.

"Would only comment that the cottage was short on bath size towels."
Also the property was last cleaned on the 29th and we had a booking from the 31st with the same entry time of 17:00. Other sites would and have contacted you to say you can appear earlier. Than 17:00 again approx 14:00 would have allowed us more time to relax and enjoy.

"Lovely cosy place to stay and a beautiful location."
Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Only thing and it is small is the lighting is a bit bright for cosy nights in maybe some sort of dimmers, we used the floor lamp in the corner instead but other than that it was perfect. We'd recommend to anyone plus the price was reasonable as well.

"This is a beautiful property that has been well maintained."
It is clean and comfortable, with everything you require. Easy access to the beach. The local shop is literally a stones throw away, and was well stocked. We loved our time there, unfortunately it was cut short due to a family emergency. Definitely recommend this accommodation

"We have stayed at various dog friendly properties and this is the ultimate."
Caroline one of the owners contacted us prior to the visit to advise of roadworks affecting the route to Maidens. The property exactly as described and is luxurious throughout. There was nothing not thought about. The bathroom was huge and just right with the shower. The sun room overlooking the bay was fantastic for sitting looking at the the view of the Isle of Arran under various weather conditions. Huge grassed area and beach very good for exercising our hound. Saw seals and various birds up close from the beach. Easy access to the nearby Scottish National Trust castle with its massive grounds. All in all we would return in a heartbeat

The property
Nestled in the seaside village of Maidens, Ayrshire is this fabulous, single-storey, semi-detached holiday cottage, Rothiemay.
With sea views over to Culzean Castle and Aran, along with plenty of home comforts, this delightful home makes a perfect base for a family or two couples.
On arrival, off-road parking greets you, before stepping into the kitchen/diner, the ultimate space for whipping up a family meal.
From here, make your way to the sitting room, where a Smart TV rests for your entertainment, as well as a telescope for taking in the picturesque sea views and sunsets.
Moving through the property, two well-presented double bedrooms offer a place to rest your head before a day of walking, and on your return, a sleek shower room with an impressive contemporary design provides you with somewhere to rinse off the day.
Enjoy your morning coffee with a view in the conservatory, or out in the garden while your canine companion gives their legs a stretch on the lawn.
If you don’t fancy cooking one evening, head to the local pub and hotel for a delicious meal out, or pop to the nearby convenience store to stock up, or post a postcard to your loved ones at home.
There is a fantastic selection of attractions in the area, along with a wealth of coastal walks; head to Turnberry Lighthouse for yet more gorgeous views, or in the opposite direction, up to Swan Pond, a favourite among animal lovers for its natural beauty.
A popular tourist spot nearby is Culzean Castle, an opulent and stunning piece of architecture to explore, and for gentle strolls, the Dunure Labyrinth Park and Garden.
Into Ayr, you will find plenty of eateries and pubs to treat your loved ones to, followed by a walk along Ayr Estuary; animal lovers will also enjoy a visit to Heads of Ayr Farm Park!
Whatever the weather, Rothiemay makes a lovely base for a picture-perfect break to Scotland.

About the location
MAIDENS
Maybole 7 miles; Girvan 7.5 miles.
This fishing village sits at the south end of Maidenhead Bay on the Ayrshire coast and looks out to sea with views of Arran and Ailsa Craig and the distant Mull of Kintyre. It was here that Robert the Bruce is acknowledged to have come ashore when he sailed from Rathlin Island in Northern Ireland after his encounter with the spider in the early 14th century. The ancient Earls of Carrick had their seat at Turnberry Castle which today is a ruin. Today Maidens is a popular spot for visitors with its traditional harbour, extensive beach, a couple of restaurants and its close proximity to Turnberry and the spectacular Culzean Castle.
