Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Ayrshire

We loved staying here. It is an exceptional setting with stunning views whatever the weather. The cottage is beautifully done out inside and feels like home away from home. You can completely cut off from the outside world and relax and unwind. Absolutely worth the 5 stars and we’ll definitely be booking to go back.

We had the best stay here for my sister’s bridal do! The house was spotless and Mhairi was super responsive. Really wanted a relaxed, homely space with beautiful surroundings and this home was perfect. No hesitation in recommending to family and friends in the future.

A great place to stay for a small group/family gathering. There are 2 living rooms and outdoor space so room to spread out. We loved the hot tub! The hobbit house is a cool addition with fairy lights, a Bluetooth speaker and is very well-insulated so warm even without the central fire going. The house has beautiful views and was a lovely place to relax and be cosy on rainy days. Only a short (15 mins) drive to the small towns of Kirkcudbright and Castle Douglas, Threave Gardens and the Kite feeding place at Laurieston.

Very well organised place in a good location. Lots of information on things to do in the local area, and the host is very helpful

Beautifully renovated and spacious property. Great home base for visiting mid and east Lothian. Very quiet surroundings and between rooms. Highly recommend for friend groups or families. Daniela is a very attentive hostess. Only downside- could only find 1 hair dryer and utility knives were dull.

what a fantastic stay! beautiful property and amazing owners! absolutely loved it and we were made to feel right at home. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your incredible home!

Had a fantastic 5 days stay in a wonderful home. Beautiful decor, gr8 facilities, easy to get into town. Very friendly host. Would definitely recommended and would definitely return

What stunning views and such a tranquil location. Loved our stay and hosts were so accommodating when we were a little late and they opened up for our grocery delivery driver! We are a family of four with a dog and loved using the enclosed garden, bbq and fire pit. Beds are comfortable and showers are super. Even the sofa bed is great! Would stay again. Many thanks to Jane!

This place is my heaven. Each morning I would look out at the view in complete awe. Claire, her husband, the place and location were absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to come back.

We had another highly enjoyable weekend at Swallows Nest, our 2nd short stay at this very peaceful and comfortable property. A home from home, in very beautiful and special surroundings. Already arranging our 3rd visit … :) Highly recommend for a family or couple. Thank you both!

Really lovely flat in the center of Edinburgh, lovely terrace and parking spot. Walking distance to the main tourist area, nice bakeries and restaurants in the neighbourhood.

We had a lovely stay and everything was as described. Lots of local shops are within walking distance, parking wasn’t an issue and we had a pleasant stay.

Hannah’s place is gorgeous. Very small kitchen, but well laid out and manageable, adequately stocked for our needs Hannah’s description and instructions are clear A lovely touch, a welcome basket of teas, coffee, milk and shortbread. Also shower gel in the bathroom

This bijpu bedsit is perfect for a single person. Peaceful and private, and with everything I needed. The bed was really comfortable, and the whole place was immaculately clean. I was really happy to see environmental measures in place. The location is perfect - spot on for accessing this part of the Lakes, with so many beautiful spots within easy driving distance. Kath's communications were clear and friendly and fast. I would recommend this accommodation and its owners without hesitation.

We loved our stay at 1881. The colour, furnishings, 2 great bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, excellent kitchen. Borrowed an excellent novel while there and finished it. Jak and Kerri are fabulous, friendly hosts who go above and beyond with info, communication etc. Short walk to the lovely Aberdour Silver Sands beach where you can get fantastic fish and chips, overlooking the water. On the Fife Coastal path and we stayed here rather than Edinburgh and caught the train in from Aberdour station, a short walk away. Highly recommend!

A comfortably restored flat in a Victorian villa. The location is convenient as it is within easy reach of dunoon either by car or bus. There is also a good path leading to the town if you like walking. Puck’s Glen and Benmore are easily reachable in the other direction. The place is quiet, clean and the instructions were clear. Would stay again.

We stayed at the accommodation for two nights with our two children. It’s an absolutely lovely little cabin. It looks even better in real life than the pictures, sure it’s basic but it has everything you need for a short stay. The kitchen is well equipped, the shower was lovely and hot and the compost toilet worked perfectly. The log burner heated the room easily and we only needed it for a short time. The beds and sofa bed were lovely and comfy and we had more than enough battery lights to last the night. The cabin isn’t actually on Loch Long but it’s only a short walk down a very quiet road and there’s a rocky beach where you could paddle, swim, paddleboard from. If you want to eat out we had a fab tapas meal in Helensburgh. Enjoy!

Very comfortable and well-equipped cottage, perfect for a quiet break. Set in a very nice garden, a short walk from the sea and with cycle routes directly into the forest. Host was very friendly and helpful, we had an excellent time.

Absolutely loved our stay here. It’s out the way, quiet, peaceful and perfect place to reset. The communication was fabulous, the owner was wonder was kind, friendly and accommodating. Love the fact it’s on a dairy farm! Would definitely go back!

Thank you Robin for a wonderful stay. The hot tub was amazing, as was the surrounding views. The bed was extremely comfy and the cabin itself is very cosy!

The cabin was exactly what we needed! Super comfortable and a lovely spot to sit outside on a summer evening. The living room is ideal for a glass or four of wine!

The place is just as described. Ideal for a romantic getaway. Myself and my partner had a lovely time. would definently stay again!!

We had a lovely 3 night stay at the cabin with our dog. It’s very well located, just over an hour from Glasgow but quiet and secluded. The cabin is comfortable and has everything one would need for a few days in the highlands. The wood burner is a lovely touch and keeps the place warm and cosy. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. The whole place was also spotless and well maintained. Cornelius was a very responsive and accommodating host!

Andy, Mea (frenchie) and I enjoyed an amazing stay. The place is lovely and there was lots to see and do. I would highly recommend this place.
