Ballantrae River Cottages - Self-catering in Ayrshire
Mains Road
Ballantrae, Girvan, KA26 0NJ, Ayrshire
Scotland,
Regno Unito
Smell the sea air as you drive into sleepy Ballantrae – a food store, a thrift shop, a pub and lots of friendly locals. 1870s Stinchar, originally the toll house for the bridge, is the smallest and High Mains the largest. Sitting along a small road, both cottages face south and have a well-tended garden and terrace, so sit out with a G&T, fire up the barbecue and drink in the peace.
High Mains is enclosed for little ones. Inside this big attractive whitewashed house all is light, bright and inviting with a scattering of old and the very best of new. There are log fires for chillier evenings, refurbished and sleek bathrooms with soaps from Arran Aromatics, and books, games and country magazines – a ‘home-from-home’ without the clutter.
You're left Scottish shortbread and freshly cut flowers; the village shop, pub and post office are a 15-minute walk.

Local points of interest from Caroline Dalrymple:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Caroline Dalrymple:
- 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.
- Minutes from the long dog-friendly beach - perfect for gentle strolls in the morning or watching the sunset over Ailsa Craig. Otherwise drop down onto the beautiful River Path for a walk and the dogs can enjoy a dip in the River.
- Love the stars? Visit the Dark Sky Park at Galloway Forest Park (approx 40 miles) for an amazing experience on a clear night.
- Foodies? Treat yourself to a truly sumptuous meal at Glenapp Castle (approx 2 miles) - a real experience in a fantastic setting.
- 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.
