Cottage holiday rentals in Ballantrae

Lakeside Cottage is beautiful, peaceful, steeped in history & easy to access once you know where it is, we drove past it 3 times lol. We were greeted with gorgeous fresh flowers in each room & a very tasty bottle of prosecco. Most Definitely will be going back at some point in the near future & can't recommend it enough as a quiet getaway - listening to the river Ayr was blissful!!

We had a lovely stay with our 3 dogs at heron view, we enjoyed the spacious living area and comfortable beds. The utility space was a great nook for the dogs if they were wet from walking. Lovely local pub (the Masonic) with friendly people and bar staff. The hot tub was a massive bonus! Thanks Donald We will be back!

Perfect cottage, lovely scenery. Lots of local recommendations from the hosts. Well worth a stay

We had the perfect getaway with friends in this beautiful house by the sea. We were 4 adults and 3 young children and there was plenty of space for us all. There are lots of stairs which were difficult at times for the younger ones. But that didn’t take away from our stay. We got the hot tub which we thoroughly enjoyed once the kids were in bed. Would definitely recommend.

Gorgeous place with beautiful scenery! Rebecca and Dave were super attentive and helpful. Would 100% recommend this place.

The most relaxing stay we have had. Hidden away from the hustle of the town, this was just bliss for a peaceful getaway

The cottage was the perfect base for us to explore the local area & catch up with nearby family. The cottage is well equipped & surrounded by a beautiful landscape. Thank you for a wonderful stay. 💛

Had a great stay at Lilac Cottage, we were staying there as our son’s wedding was at Orangetree House, lovely cosy sitting room, well stocked kitchen and the cottage was spotless. Unfortunately we didn’t get the full benefit as it would be a great location for anyone to explore the Ards peninsula and across to Strangford and Mourne Country and come back to relax in the garden. Janet had also left us some ‘goodies’ and even Pooh bags for the dog! Apologies I took her for a walk and still have them 🙈 would 100% recommend and all being well will use again

Booked the stay for 4 members of my team. They couldn’t have spoken more highly of the property. Clean, well appointed and perfect for what they needed after a long day.

We had a lovely, relaxing stay at Sunnyside. The cottage was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed - probably the most well-stocked Air BnB I’ve stayed in. The milk and snacks left for our arrival were an added bonus. Communication with Peter was excellent and there was lots of helpful information in the booklet. The garden leading down to the river was very picturesque and peaceful. We enjoyed really nice walks around the village using one of the many guides in the cottage, and day trips including Kircudbright, the coast and Glasgow. We also enjoyed making use of the record player and Scrabble in the cottage in the evenings after a day exploring.

Accommodation was booked for colleagues for business purposes. Everything was exactly as described and suited out needs perfectly. Very friendly host and communicative hosts. Would definitely stay here again!

Our host, Karen, was perfect. She was polite, friendly and extremely helpful. Her property was stunning and had everything we needed to be a a home from home. Her particular attention to our dogs needs really stood out. We were welcomed by milk in the fridge, fresh fruit, treats and toys for the dog and a plethora of leaflets books and dining out ideas for the area. Loved the little touches like notes on the OS maps…it really is the little details that count. We had an amazing stay in this beautiful and peaceful property. Creetown had so much to offer in such a welcoming and subtle way, everyone in the community was friendly and took the time to talk about places to go, local history…and even helped us deer spot literally meters from the front door. Perfect week away.

Luxurious accommodation in stunning location. The open plan cottage with beautiful views and bedroom on mezzanine floor gives a feeling of complete luxury - beautiful furniture-well fitted kitchen and extremely comfortable bed and bedding. Stayed here for 2 nights at the end of road trip for NC500 to visit family - so not much time to explore but will definitely be back and stay for longer next time. Extremely good value

We had the most wonderful stay at Blackside Cottage and can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much care and attention Andrew and Elizabeth put into making the place welcoming, comfortable, and beautifully presented. The cottage itself is immaculate – stylishly decorated, cozy, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen was a real highlight – far better stocked than most places we’ve stayed – and the log-burning fire made our evenings incredibly relaxing. The setting is just magical. Peaceful, private, and surrounded by stunning countryside, it was the perfect place to switch off and unwind. The freestanding bath was a real luxury – perfect for a long soak after a day of exploring. Andrew and Elizabeth were brilliant hosts. Everything was smooth from booking to check-out. This place is a real gem!

We had an incredible stay at Dunskey - it is definitely worth the effort!! Our cottage was perfect. Equipped with everything we needed, decorated beautifully and comfortable. The estate itself is wonderful with beaches, lochs, waterfalls, a maze and plenty of walks so we barely left. We enjoyed a fishing lesson with Steven the head groundsman, he was knowledgeable, friendly and we throughly enjoyed it, even though we unsuccessfully at getting a catch. Port Patrick is lovely with a nice beach, pubs and a local village store. We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back again!!!

We had an incredible stay at Dawn and Paul’s they have the most beautiful place beside the beach, a very special spot. We have 2 young kids and a dog and everyone had such a good time - I look forward to going back already. The place was so clean and smelt amazing thanks to Dawn’s lovely candles and diffusers and had everything you need.

There was everything we could possibly need in the cottage which is so tastefully furnished including two reclining chairs in the conservatory which is where we spent most of our time. Even on the days it rained we could relax in the conservatory, reading or doing a jigsaw, and unwind. Gina and her husband are very friendly and helpful, making us feel at home. If we could give it six stars we would!

Drumla Cottage is a beautiful place and the views are stunning. Catherine is very friendly and couldn't have been more helpful throughout our stay. Everything that we needed was available at the cottage and it could not be faulted.

Really lovely place to stay with fabulous views. It was our 1st Wedding Anniversary and Audrey had left a card with a single red rose which was a really thoughtful thing to do. Fresh flowers were in the kitchen as which was a nice touch. The water went off due to a burst somewhere down the line and Audrey communicated immediately, plus there was plenty of bottled water in to use so it wasn't an issue. Overall, a beautiful place to stay, clean and a great base for exploring the island.

The Net Shed lived up to our expectations and beyond. It was bigger than we expected and well equipped. Sitting area was so bright and provided fantastic views. The back garden was a wonderful little suntrap if you can pull yourself away from the front sea views. We wish we had taken our kayaks with us!

The cottage is an extremely comfortable and warm haven. Set in picturesque surroundings at the end of a farm track. It is extremely well equipped and the large hallway and utility/ drying area was excellent for all our coats and shoes etc. I would definitely recommend this place x

We loved staying at Louise's place for a night as we travelled up the west coast. Check in was easy and everything was nice and clean when we arrived. The garden in the back is lovely and the two woodburners give a lovely cottage feel to the place.

The cottage is full of character and very cosy. It’s in a great location with fantastic walks on the doorstep. Bea was at the cottage when we arrived. She was super helpful with advice and very friendly. She was the perfect host. Would definitely recommend any one staying here.

Dot and Dougie were excellent hosts. The cottage is spacious with lovely decor. We felt at home straight away. Delightful garden and views across the valley. Lovely walk from just across the road by a river and gorge. We'd certainly want to stay here again if we come back to Arran.
