This spacious, semi-detached cottage is located in the village of Dalry and surrounded by the beautiful Ayrshire countryside. The entire area is known for its gently rolling landscape and is a hugely popular area with walkers and cyclists of all abilities. Ayrshire is home to the Ayrshire Coastal Path, a 100-mile-long coastal walk with one of the finest panoramic coastlines in the British Isles. Crowned with a superb backdrop of the ever-changing profile of the mountains of Arran across the Firth of Clyde, this coastline is steeped in history and teeming with wildlife, including red squirrels, deer, otters, and seals, and is a haven for bird watchers.
Inland there are gardens and castles to visit, horse riding, racing, and a choice of golf courses, with the world-famous Turnberry close to hand. Culzean Castle, owned by the National Trust for Scotland, is spectacular and is Ayrshire’s most popular tourist attraction. Ayrshire is the heart of ’Burns’ Country’, 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, which are a must for Burns fans. Day trips to Ireland can be taken from Cairnryan, whilst a short drive leads to Ayr, a traditional seaside town. Glasgow, Stirling, and Edinburgh are perfect for a day out, as is Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, with ferry links to the islands of Arran, Bute and Cumbrae all within easy reach.
The owner has a luxury hair, beauty, tanning and aesthetics clinic just a 2-minute walk from the property and you can book anything from a hair up to a pamper day or even a full face rejuvenation. Beach 8 miles.

Had a brilliant weeks stay, house was spotless, garden was nice and private. We got a wee visitor at night a hedgehog that would appear on the back wall coping and shout for food. The bairns loved that! If there was anything to change it would be a king size bed in the master bedroom but that’s just my thoughts. The shops were close to hand and Zains takeaway is highly recommended especially the milkshakes! Looking forward to booking the old foundry again!

Great value for money, unfortunately our stay was short, would loved to have spent more time enjoying the home. The host was amazing, ensured the lights, heating and television were turned on upon check in. Table was laid and looked amazing. Rooms were luxurious and showers at the perfect temperature. The hot tub was great with great views of the countryside.
