The road hugs the rocky coast with glorious views to the Mull of Kintyre and three fishing village cottages where modern comforts abound

Come for windswept family walks along miles of pebble beach, or take the road to Culzean Castle, high above the Firth of Clyde. Return to toasty floors and wood-burners, plump mattresses and kitchens that are a delight to work in. The cottages are independent but close enough for one bigger party and there’s a table for 12 in the largest.

Fisherman’s Cottage is just that and it’s a lovely renovation; the other two are attractive eco-builds. All three sit a ten-minute walk from untouristy Ballantrae (shop, post office, pub), a stroll from the old harbour, with safely fenced gardens from which you can sniff the sea. Interiors are spacious, fresh and fabulous, with themed furnishings and very comfortable beds. Views soar all the way to Arran on clear days.

Find freshly cut flowers, a box of Scottish shortbread and the first basket of logs for both fires. You're left games, books, bats and shrimp nets – head for the pebbled beach.

Local points of interest from Caroline Dalrymple:

Punti d'interesse locali da
Caroline Dalrymple:

  • Moments from the long dog-friendly beach - perfect for gentle strolls in the morning or watching the sunset over Ailsa Craig.
  • Home of the oldest major - golfers are extremely well catered for in Ayrshire. From the Championship course at Turnberry (only 18 miles away) to the local courses at Stranraer and Girvan.
  • Love the stars? Visit the Dark Sky Park at Galloway Forest Park (approx 40 miles) for an amazing experience on a clear night.
  • Relaxation? Can't miss out on the gym? Head to Pebbles Spa at Lendalfoot (approx 4 miles) - wonderful treatments and day packages available or pound the treadmill in an idyllic setting overlooking the sea.
  • Foodies? Treat yourself to a truly sumptuous meal at Glenapp Castle (approx 2 miles) - a real experience in a fantastic setting.

"Four of us (my husband, I, my brother, and brother's wife) stayed in Shore Cottage during our first trip to Scotland. The house is wonderful; the setting fantastic; the village people ever so friendly. We are all hoping to return to this fabulous vacation house in 2017."
