Great location for a base. Beautifully decorated and hot tub in secluded area to the rear, which was a sun trap the week were there.Ideally situated, to explore the Ayrshire coast and Isle of Arran.Would thoroughly recommend it.

House itself has been beutifully updated very spacious and well equipped. The communication with Yvonne was excellent and we very much appreciated the 'welcome pack' on arrival. Lovely to have the quiet rear outdoor space with the hot tub and designated parking right behind the house. Location for the beach and town is good albeit Girvan is like many towns, sadly a little run down. Jewel in the crown for us was Austins restaurant literally a few minutes walk along the road; everything food service etc etc was absolutely excellent and we'd highly recommend a visit (booking recommended)
