Cottage vacation rentals in Ballantrae

Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away, even though it was raining most of the time. We loved the location on the river especially when sat in the hot tub relaxing.

We had a lovely stay with our 3 dogs at heron view, we enjoyed the spacious living area and comfortable beds. The utility space was a great nook for the dogs if they were wet from walking. Lovely local pub (the Masonic) with friendly people and bar staff. The hot tub was a massive bonus! Thanks Donald We will be back!

Lovely place. Accurate pictures, though when you get there it feels even nicer than photos can show. Very friendly and responsive. Sometimes it can be quite a vulnerable experience travelling as an LGBTQIA+ couple, but here we felt welcome and safe. Hope to visit again with friends and family.

We have just returned from the most wonderful long weekend stay at the Coach House, and we loved every minute of it. The setting is so beautiful and peaceful, and we were so lucky with the weather to be able to enjoy the outdoor space all day and into the evenings, watching the little lambs in the field and the wildlife come and go from the pond, and listening to the bird song, it’s was glorious. The house is lovely, spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. We loved sitting out at the campfire at night and stargazing, and having a soak in the wood fire tub. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to return, it’s a very special place. Thanks so much to the Slogarie team for such a wonderful getaway, we will be back!

For what our group wanted it was perfect not a bad word to say about the place, perfect or group weekend away in the country side just what a place!

Perfect cottage, lovely scenery. Lots of local recommendations from the hosts. Well worth a stay

Had a lovely stay! Would definitely return!

We really enjoyed this little cottage. It provided everything we needed. Janet had provided welcome snacks and wine. She also responded quickly and kindly to any questions we had. We had sunny weather and sat out in the back garden which was well kept. Thank you Janet for being lovely host.

We stayed at Shurig cottage as family of 4 (kids 4 and 2 years) and grandad! The hosts were really helpful with pre trip and during the trip especially with recommendations of things to do and places to eat. The accommodation was spotless and had all amenities needed. We loved the modern cosy cottage feel! The outdoor space was great too! Highlights of the trip included blackwaterfoot beach which was a great sandy beach for the kids and we even had the kayak out too, Mara fish restaurant in Corrie, seals seen on the west coast, hiking to Machrie Moor standing stones and Kings cave! Both Brodrick castle and the Thyme cafe had great outdoor play areas for the kids (we loved the Pide there too)! We also loved Arran butchers and the bakehouse in Blackwaterfoot! Hamilton cottages is a perfect base for these activities and we will hopefully be back soon! Thank you!

We had a fantastic stay in the cottage, it was a lovely cosy space, with everything we could need. Particularly appreciated the cot and highchair, and the washing/drying facilities for soggy walking clothes! Lorna was super friendly and helpful and we look forward to staying again on Arran!

2 Calgow Cottages is a fantastic cottage in a peaceful setting with lots of bird life in the gardens. The cottage is equipped with everything you need for a short or long stay, with a well equipped kitchen, lovely inside and outside seating areas, and three good sized bedrooms. Philip and Graeme were really helpful via message, giving recommendations for places to eat and generally being friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend this property to others, and hope to stay again on a future visit to the area.

Absolutely loved our week stay, didn’t want to come home. Lovely cottage in a perfect remote location

Excellent modern cottage on the outskirts of Gatehouse of Fleet, in the hills up to Galloway forest. A great retreat for quietness and to get away from it all. The hosts are excellent, this being on a farm it was nice to see the animals. Would love to be back someday. Enjoyed having 7 days of sun sitting on that patio.

The house was warm and comfortable with everything we needed. We appreciated the Christmas tree and decorations which made it feel especially welcoming. It is in a scenic and peaceful area with some interesting places to explore nearby. The conservatory and garden would make it an ideal place to visit in the summer. We would certainly recommend this property.

Had a lovely stay at the byre. Nice property and very central to be able to travel around for great woodland dog walks and exploring the lovely small towns. Such a beautiful part of the country.

I had a lovely few days at Lesley's place. It's secluded and quiet which is just what I was after. The views are beautiful and I was lucky enough to have clear skies to do some stargazing. The house itself is well set up and comfortable. Lots of great locations within a short distance and Lesley had some nice recommendations of places to go. I would advise to arrive in good daylight as the track to and through the farm is very dark.

perfect for two couples. had everything we needed for a short stay. the view of the Holy Isle made it for us and luckily we had beautiful weather in the early part of March which was a bonus. loved it

Really nice and private space that felt like a home away from home would highly recommend

Loved our stay here. Property is well laid out with great amenities. Really clear instructions on how to get there as it's a bit off the main road. Beautiful location.

The cottage is an extremely comfortable and warm haven. Set in picturesque surroundings at the end of a farm track. It is extremely well equipped and the large hallway and utility/ drying area was excellent for all our coats and shoes etc. I would definitely recommend this place x

My son and I stayed at the cottage for 4 nights whilst we went to watch the Open golf at Troon. It was a lovely, peaceful location to return home to, to relax after long days walking round the golf course. The cottage is well equipped and situated in the beautiful grounds of Cloncaird Castle - stunning.

The cottage was great... clean, comfortable, plenty of space (bigger inside than what you would think) and very quiet. Was ideally situated for us, visiting family in nearby Dalrymple. Would happily stay here again.

Had lovely stay in this beautiful little house and we were also very lucky with the weather on our visit.Andreas place also has a little garden which was just the perfect place to relax in.

What a beautiful airbnb home. It had everything we needed with a welcome basket also that Brendan and Rhona had kindly done for our arrival. Milk, jam, butter and hot cross buns for easter. They even had a caffetire of hot coffee ready for our arrival and a beautiful vase of flowers. The accommodation was so compy and clean. Set in the lovely friendly Newton Stuart. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend. Thank you Brendan and Rhona for our home from home. 🩷
