Guests can follow the beach walk up into Culzean Castle estate with woodland walks through the grounds. The seaside town of Girvan with shops, leisure centre and swimming pool, is only a 5-minute drive away and boat trips can be taken to Ailsa Craig for bird watching. Ayr, Prestwick and Troon are all close by with beautiful sandy beaches and the islands of Arran and Cumbrae and easily reached by ferry and well worth the effort.

Ayrshire, also known as ’Burns Country’, is steeped in tradition and history. Visit Burns Cottage, the Burns Memorial Museum and the Brig o’ Doon, the bridge from the famous poem, Tam o’ Shanter. Inland, the Galloway Forest Park is a short drive away and is Britain’s largest forest park with 300 square miles of wild beauty waiting to be explored. The park boasts tranquil valleys, rugged rock faces, forest, moorland, lochs, ancient woodland and a huge diversity of wildlife including red and roe deer, wild goats and many birds of prey. The park has also been awarded the status of one of only four Dark Sky Parks in the western world and when the sun sets, enthusiasts come to wonder at the universe revealed above. Dalmellington is home to the Scottish Dark Observatory and is only a short drive from the property. Day trips to Ireland can be taken by ferry from Cairnryan. Glasgow and Edinburgh are easily reached for a day out. Beach 20 yards. Shop 50 yards, pub 3 miles and restaurant 100 yards.
