This collection of holiday cottages in Ayrshire are settled on the south-west coast of Scotland. A refreshing escape, home to sweeping countryside, sandy beaches, and coastal paths to soak in the splendid sights, self-catering in Ayrshire is idyllic for solo travellers, couples or families looking to enjoy a rural retreat in Scotland.
Why Ayrshire?
Ayrshire, the birthplace of Robert Burns and the home of rolling green hills, makes a superb base for cyclists, avid walkers, golfers, and those who enjoy sight-seeing. Test your stamina with an uphill trek, delve into deep, dark woods or visit cascading waterfalls to see Scotland's gems. Lodges in Ayrshire are great for a coastal escape, where the little ones can let off steam on the fine, sandy beaches and paddle in crystal clear waters. Hop aboard the Waverly, a magnificent old paddle steamer and enjoy a leisurely cruise. Love sailing? The Firth of Clyde is naturally sheltered and offers wonderful conditions - and there are three outstanding marinas at Largs, Ardrossan and Troon.
