Cottage vacation rentals in Ballantrae

Absolutely amazing place for a getaway. The cottage was spotless, smelt beautifully, nicely equipped kitchen and the hot tub was a great addition too! Martyn is very friendly and responsive when messaged. In short, if you’re looking for a quiet place away from everyone,surrounded by stunning scenery and a warm/cosy cottage, then don’t look further and get this booked! 100% recommend!

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!

Lovely place. Accurate pictures, though when you get there it feels even nicer than photos can show. Very friendly and responsive. Sometimes it can be quite a vulnerable experience travelling as an LGBTQIA+ couple, but here we felt welcome and safe. Hope to visit again with friends and family.

For what our group wanted it was perfect not a bad word to say about the place, perfect or group weekend away in the country side just what a place!

Had a lovely stay! Would definitely return!

We really enjoyed this little cottage. It provided everything we needed. Janet had provided welcome snacks and wine. She also responded quickly and kindly to any questions we had. We had sunny weather and sat out in the back garden which was well kept. Thank you Janet for being lovely host.

We absolutely loved our stay here, the hot tub made it even better. Place was immaculately clean, no faults what so ever. Basic kitchen equipment which is all you need for a few days away. Plenty of restaurants, take aways and shop within the area if you’re driving so was able to have the option there if we fancied. Access was easy and it was easy to find, we both liked how it wasn’t on a public road etc and it was so peaceful at night. We were lucky to be able to see a sunset on our first night and that was fantastic, being able to be in the hot tub and have those views was just unreal. Even on our second night the weather wasn’t the best we still loved every minute of it. We cannot recommend this enough, we will definitely be back! Thank you both again

We just had a great stay. Great communication, Lynne was always responsive and lots of information provided. House was extremely clean, good quality bed linen and loads of lovely fresh towels. Beds comfy. Outside area was perfect for our family lots of space to run around and play plus the hot tub to relax in. Location was perfect for us visiting family and close to the beach and gardens and other places to visit. Thanks for a great stay

We stayed at Shurig cottage as family of 4 (kids 4 and 2 years) and grandad! The hosts were really helpful with pre trip and during the trip especially with recommendations of things to do and places to eat. The accommodation was spotless and had all amenities needed. We loved the modern cosy cottage feel! The outdoor space was great too! Highlights of the trip included blackwaterfoot beach which was a great sandy beach for the kids and we even had the kayak out too, Mara fish restaurant in Corrie, seals seen on the west coast, hiking to Machrie Moor standing stones and Kings cave! Both Brodrick castle and the Thyme cafe had great outdoor play areas for the kids (we loved the Pide there too)! We also loved Arran butchers and the bakehouse in Blackwaterfoot! Hamilton cottages is a perfect base for these activities and we will hopefully be back soon! Thank you!

Delightful cottage - very comfortable and cosy with everything we could need provided. Kate and Angus were very welcoming and friendly. We particularly appreciated the invitation to roam anywhere on the estate and the welcome extended to our little dog. The snowdrops were especially beautiful at this time of the year. Lady Bay on the estate was a great place to walk the dog at low tide. The welcome pack provided by Kate was also well received and there were plenty of basic supplies provided - tea, coffee, milk, bread, butter, brownies and shortbread! Thanks for a great vacation.

We had an excellent stay in Sue's well-appointed, comfortable and cosy accommodation. We loved the view from the dining table! Nothing is very far from anywhere on Arran and Pirnhill proved to be a good base. Sue was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended.

Super cottage, perfect for enabling a wonderful stay on Arran. Easy access to both the mainland and all that Arran affords. The cottage was full of character and charm and was perfect for us and our 2 dogs. It had everything we could possibly need, was extremely clean and well equipped.

Excellent modern cottage on the outskirts of Gatehouse of Fleet, in the hills up to Galloway forest. A great retreat for quietness and to get away from it all. The hosts are excellent, this being on a farm it was nice to see the animals. Would love to be back someday. Enjoyed having 7 days of sun sitting on that patio.

I had a lovely few days at Lesley's place. It's secluded and quiet which is just what I was after. The views are beautiful and I was lucky enough to have clear skies to do some stargazing. The house itself is well set up and comfortable. Lots of great locations within a short distance and Lesley had some nice recommendations of places to go. I would advise to arrive in good daylight as the track to and through the farm is very dark.

Doonbank Bothy was lovely. Very peaceful surroundings and the river and woodland were beautiful. Chris was super helpful and responsive and we found the place very easily. His scones were warm when we arrived and lovely with a cup of tea after a long journey. We thought the added touch of his honey and Scottish tablet a nice thing to take home with us. Also to note the bed was very comfy like many of the other reviews have said. Thanks Chris. 👍🏻😊

What a fab find! We stayed here for 5 day's and really enjoyed our stay as did Sacha cat! It’s in a beautiful spot and very peaceful. The cottage is a fantastic space it has everything you need for your stay, the wood burner keeps the place cosy for lovely relaxing evenings. Would highly recommend the cottage and look forward to visiting again!

From the moment we arrived we felt at home, the milk and eggs were a loving touch but the millionaire shortbread blew us away! The cottage was spotless and had some lovely features. The children adored the log burner and the goats and sheep out the back. We felt comfy, cosy and the cottage was highly maintained. We all had a great nights sleep, thanks for a fab stay…we would return in a heartbeat.

Really nice and private space that felt like a home away from home would highly recommend

My son and I stayed at the cottage for 4 nights whilst we went to watch the Open golf at Troon. It was a lovely, peaceful location to return home to, to relax after long days walking round the golf course. The cottage is well equipped and situated in the beautiful grounds of Cloncaird Castle - stunning.

Anne is a fantastic host, available but discreet. We stayed at her house on the way up to the highlands and on the way back as we were visiting fanily in Glasgow. Both times Anne had left some essentials for us and a lovely bottle of wine. On out second stay she has even got Easter eggs for our kids which they really appreciated :-) Anne's home was pristine and cosy, the kitchen is very spacious and the lounge comfortable. We loved having all the bedrooms on one level as sometimes the kids get a little scared in new places. The beds were very comfortable and there are good curtains as well. the bathrooms were clean and functional. We would definitely recommend and stay again!

The cottage was great... clean, comfortable, plenty of space (bigger inside than what you would think) and very quiet. Was ideally situated for us, visiting family in nearby Dalrymple. Would happily stay here again.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Andrea’s property and as before it was a pleasure, walkable to the beach which the dogs loved and Andrea gave us the names of various dog friendly cafes, which we made good use of. I would highly recommend this propert. Great hostess.

What a beautiful airbnb home. It had everything we needed with a welcome basket also that Brendan and Rhona had kindly done for our arrival. Milk, jam, butter and hot cross buns for easter. They even had a caffetire of hot coffee ready for our arrival and a beautiful vase of flowers. The accommodation was so compy and clean. Set in the lovely friendly Newton Stuart. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend. Thank you Brendan and Rhona for our home from home. 🩷

We had a very comfortable stay. The cottage was beautifully decorated and very homely which was what we wanted after a long day of walking / sightseeing. Arran is a beautiful island and the cottage is in a great location for exploring it.
