The Old Church was a stunning venue, perfect for 12 guests including toddlers and grandparents. It was spacious, beautifully designed and spotless, with plenty for everyone to enjoy. The ping-pong table was a winner for all ages, and the kitchen was extremely well equipped. We couldn’t believe our luck finding this first-class spot!

We loved our stay at Kyle Lodge so much that we booked again. It is an incredible place for a relaxing weekend, with everything you need to feel at home—and the bed was wonderfully comfortable. The hosts were extremely helpful, and the guidebook was full of useful local recommendations. A real gem when you need to slow life down.

Carrick Lodge was a great base for exploring nearby beaches and Culzean Castle—and we could bring the dog. The accommodation looked even better than the photographs and had everything we needed, with thoughtful touches including the record player, smart TV and fairy lights. The hosts communicated clearly and provided an excellent local guide. Perfect for a relaxing weekend away.
