From the owner

200 year old cottage set in the heart of beautiful village. This former weaver's cottage has a large open fire for cosy, romantic evenings and a generous amount of logs is provided for your stay. There's a well equipped kitchen: electric cooker with ceramic hob, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, toaster and a good selection of cooking equipment. The pantry houses the fridge and freezer and more cooking equipment. The sitting and dining room has Sky TV (basic package), a large selection of books, games and films, local information, a DVD and CD player and free WiFi. We've a travel cot, a comfortable chair bed for an older child and a high chair.

It's a short stroll to the pub, coffee shop, general stores, village hall, church and play park. Also within walking distance is the start of several signposted walks, fishing on the river Girvan plus road and off-road cycling. We're right next the Galloway Forest Park with lots of trails and the Dark Sky Park for star-gazing.

Within a short drive are some world-class golf courses, great beaches, numerous castles including Culzean and Dumfries House, horse-riding establishments, busy towns such as Ayr, Prestwick and Troon, sea-fishing and trips around Ailsa Craig are available from Girvan and a trip aboard the Waverley Paddle Steamer is a great way to visit Arran and take in the glorious coastline. Inland is beautiful Loch Doon, with its rugged scenery, ruined castle, great walks and Ospreys.

Glasgow is only an hour away with its excellent shopping, museums and art galleries.
