Ayr Cottages

Nestled on the Ayrshire coast, where the River Ayr meets the sea, lies the historically rich town of Ayr. This charming coastal haven has a history that stretches back to the 13th century and even predates the Magna Carta, marking it as one of Scotland's oldest Royal Burghs. A favoured seaside resort, Ayr boasts a long sandy beach with breathtaking views out to sea and of the nearby Isle of Arran. Exploring doesn't end at its shores; nearby coastal towns such as Troon and Prestwick are well worth a visit. Within Ayr itself, you'll find historical gems like Louden Hall, Tolbooth, and Auld Brig. From spending an exhilarating day at the races to visiting local distilleries or wandering through heath-covered moorlands, there's something for everyone here. Come discover this remarkable area at your own pace from one of our cosy cottages in Ayr.
