MAUCHLINE

Ayr 12 miles.

The lovely village of Mauchline quietly nestles amidst glorious hills and farmland and is ideally situated for exploring the stunning scenery of Ayrshire and the Isle of Arran. The village is most recognised as the home of Robert Burns, who lived and farmed in the area with his wife Jean Armour for many years. The house they shared is now a museum and forms part of the Burns Trail. The Royal Troon and Turnberry links courses are both nearby, whilst the historic seaside resort of Ayr is just 12 miles away, offering excellent shopping, bars, restaurants and sandy beaches. Visit the spectacular 18th century Culzean Castle with its picturesque cliff-top setting, or enjoy the 600 acre country park complete with deer park, swan pond, adventure playground and delightful beaches. A truly delightful part of Scotland with something for all tastes.

Previous Visitors' Comments
The property was modern, clean and well maintained. There were plenty of places of interest to see. Culzean Castle and Kelburn Castle were particularly interesting. Great places to eat are the Fairlee Arms and, for something a bit posher, the Sorn Inn.

The owners could not have been more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and they made us feel very welcome. The cottage was first class and even better than the excellent photographs in the brochure.
