Cottage vacation rentals in Ballantrae

We had a beautiful stay at Seaview Cottage. Niall was there to greet us on arrival and show us around. The attention to detail and little touches made us feel so welcome along with the friendly host and unbelievable views made for a peaceful and relaxing stay. We highly recommend staying at Niall and Janeen’s cottage, thank you both very much for having us!

Lakeside Cottage is beautiful, peaceful, steeped in history & easy to access once you know where it is, we drove past it 3 times lol. We were greeted with gorgeous fresh flowers in each room & a very tasty bottle of prosecco. Most Definitely will be going back at some point in the near future & can't recommend it enough as a quiet getaway - listening to the river Ayr was blissful!!

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!

This is simply a delightful place to stay: peaceful, beautiful and with a rare spiritual dimension in that so much of Mike's personality, passions and enthusiasms infuse everything within and without. We felt totally at home and left feeling refreshed and restored in a way seldom experienced before. Indeed, we felt we were departing from a friend.

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!

Gorgeous place with beautiful scenery! Rebecca and Dave were super attentive and helpful. Would 100% recommend this place.

The most relaxing stay we have had. Hidden away from the hustle of the town, this was just bliss for a peaceful getaway

The cottage was the perfect base for us to explore the local area & catch up with nearby family. The cottage is well equipped & surrounded by a beautiful landscape. Thank you for a wonderful stay. 💛

Karen's cottage was a great base from which to explore Kintyre. She went above and beyond to assist us. The welcome treats were much appreciated. Thank you, Karen

Had a great stay at Lynn Allan cottage. The cottage is stunning with a great view and very relaxing. House was spotlessly clean and very well equipt for our stay. Thank you

We had an excellent stay in Sue's well-appointed, comfortable and cosy accommodation. We loved the view from the dining table! Nothing is very far from anywhere on Arran and Pirnhill proved to be a good base. Sue was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended.

We had a great stay at Calgow Cottages! The cottage itself was lovely and homely, whilst being well equipped with high quality furnishings. The kitchen had everything we needed and we had a very comfortable stay. We often holiday with our dog in self catering cottages and we felt this was a very high quality stay in a nice clean cottage. It just felt like home :) Graeme and Phillip were very easy to contact with any questions and very responsive. Area was very handy for visiting the 7stanes mountain biking trails and lots of lovely walks. Overall a lovely relaxing break!

We had a fantastic stay. The property had plenty of room for our small family and dog. The location is so picturesque, we wish we didn't have to leave. There's beautiful walks to be had nearby and the drive out to the nearest villages or towns are quiet and stunning. Amber and Chris were very responsive and gave us loads of ideas for things to do. We would highly recommend visiting, and I'm sure we'll be back in the future. Thank you for being such great hosts.

David’s place is breathtaking! The views from every room are stunning. It’s out of the way up a farm track. It’s very comfy and super clean. Thats the upside of the “no dogs upstairs” policy , which is in place. It’s a place which will remain in your memory forever…. West Kilbride town is also a joy. The artsy side of Scotlands’ Craft Town, the fabulous red coffee shop, the Kandy bar bakers, Climies butchers and the greengrocers shop, all on the main street… makes you feel like you’ve stepped back to a time pre supermarkets. The town park is fabulous. You can walk from the town all the way down to Seamills beach, walk along the beach and then cut back up to the main Street where The Barony Arts Centre and cafe is also well worth a visit. All in all a wonderful place to be. An exceptional air bnb in a great little corner of the country. Loved it.

Gorgeous rural location. Very friendly host & family. Cottage was much larger than expected. We had a lovely stay.

This was our second stay at Bernard's place and it was just as we remembered. It is spacious, comfortable, practical, and in a great location. Our dogs had plenty of space in the secure private garden. We have enjoyed both stays very much as we have found it a very relaxing place to stay. We can also highly recommend the meals at The Catch at Find restaurant where we have always had a first class meal. Richard & Sharon

There was everything we could possibly need in the cottage which is so tastefully furnished including two reclining chairs in the conservatory which is where we spent most of our time. Even on the days it rained we could relax in the conservatory, reading or doing a jigsaw, and unwind. Gina and her husband are very friendly and helpful, making us feel at home. If we could give it six stars we would!

Lovely peaceful stay in beautiful grounds. Lots of walks on the private grounds including walk to their private beach. Very tranquil and special place. We did a few day trips including Ayr PortPatrick some local areas for nice restaurants. My son loves football and we went to see local town Stranraer play on his birthday and they won. We saw lots of deer and nature everywhere. Children loved the zip wire and there was a games room which we didn’t manage to get to. Kate and Angus couldn’t have been more helpful, lots of great recommendations and wonderful welcome hamper which was delicious and appreciated. Beautiful place and private grounds bigger than expected. We were sad to leave and miss the lovely scenery. Thanks so much for a memorable trip.

Place was lovely...excellent for kids and or family, parents....huge rooms...with sofas...great freindly host...there were so many things that were welcoming but not listed on property...like 100s of kids books, adult books, movie selection of cds....TV had dish channels....etc Bathrooms had soaps, Complimentary breakfast breads, cookies, milk amd wine too...is so nice when you reach a place and dont have to worry about. Beddings were lovely like 5 star hotel. Clean comfortable 500%. Only area of improvement i would say is google maps location slight error by 500 meter and access gate should be morr space to allow some safe diatance of 3 car length with an inner door perhaps as road is 60mph Galston place was amazing, Churches nearby, amazing architecture

We have just had a great stay at Kevin’s place, an ideal place for a group to enjoy a weekend on Arran. Secluded cottage a short walk up the hill from Lamblash, Marbeth was lovely when she greated us and nothing was to much trouble. Thanks

We loved staying at Louise's place for a night as we travelled up the west coast. Check in was easy and everything was nice and clean when we arrived. The garden in the back is lovely and the two woodburners give a lovely cottage feel to the place.

We only stayed overnight and this place met our needs very well. The cottage was extremely clean, well equipped and with welcome extras like biscuits and coffee available. We enjoyed sitting out in the garden listening to the birdsong. Hugh was a welcoming host. Easy entry and departure. Both the bed and sofa bed were comfortable and the bedding was fresh and great quality. It’s obvious thought and care has been given to meeting guest needs. Recommended!

We had the most wonderful stay at Blackside Cottage and can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much care and attention Andrew and Elizabeth put into making the place welcoming, comfortable, and beautifully presented. The cottage itself is immaculate – stylishly decorated, cozy, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen was a real highlight – far better stocked than most places we’ve stayed – and the log-burning fire made our evenings incredibly relaxing. The setting is just magical. Peaceful, private, and surrounded by stunning countryside, it was the perfect place to switch off and unwind. The freestanding bath was a real luxury – perfect for a long soak after a day of exploring. Andrew and Elizabeth were brilliant hosts. Everything was smooth from booking to check-out. This place is a real gem!

Lovely farmhouse in a beautiful setting. The house is well equipped and very comfortable. The log stove was lovely in the evening. I will definitely stay here again, and happily recommend it to others with confidence.
