Escape to rural Scotland in this idyllic holiday lodge just outside the conservation village of Ochiltree. The light-filled property welcomes four guests across two bedrooms, and makes the ideal base for couples and small families looking to explore Ayrshire’s beautiful countryside and vibrant seaside towns. After a day of adventure, rest weary limbs in the hot tub or enjoy a tipple overlooking the water.

The timber-clad lodge sits alongside one other retreat next to a river on a working farm. Inside, the contemporary home has an open-plan layout with a colour scheme that complements the surrounding landscape. At the heart of the lodge is a sociable lounge/kitchen/diner with comfortable seating arranged around a Smart TV and a dining table by the window for sharing mealtimes together. In summer months, open the doors to the terrace for indoor/outdoor living. The rural retreat has two inviting bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room. Completing the accommodation is a sleek family shower room. Outside, dine alfresco on the enclosed decked terrace or down by the water, followed by a dip in your hot tub under the stars. Private parking is provided for two cars.

The seaside town of Prestwick is 14 miles away. Here, you can stroll along the esplanade or head down to the sandy beach for a picnic as you admire the stunning views of the Isle of Arran. The village of Alloway (13 miles) is also well worth a visit, thanks to its literary heritage as the birthplace of Robert Burns. Other nearby days out include Culzean Castle, Galloway Forest Park, and the world-famous golf courses of Turnberry and Royal Troon (all within 25 miles).

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful holiday cottage. The interior is modern and tastefully decorated, and finished to a very high standard, making it feel like a real home away from home. The location is perfect, with lovely views that can be enjoyed from the cottage. We were fortunate to have great weather during our stay and spent many relaRead morexing hours sitting by the waterside next to the cottage, taking in the peaceful surroundings. We would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. Our thanks to Paul and his wife for providing such a lovely place to stay. Kind regards, Marion & Herman Hide
