Eight of us stayed here as a base to watch The Open at Troon and play a few rounds of golf around Ayr. We loved how homely and cosy the Log House was, despite its amazing location about 1km from the main road. It was brilliantly kitted out in terms of fast internet, a well stocked kitchen and loads of space - including lots of bathrooms and toiletsRead more. James, the contact for the property, was also quick to respond. Overall a great few days. Hide

A perfect family getaway! We are a large family with great-grandparents as well as great grandchildren, and every age in between! Although we enjoyed glorious sunshine all but one day, it was chilly in the April air, but the cabin was warm and cosy and very easily accommodated all of us to sit together and just enjoy each others company in front ofRead more a lovely open fire. The children throughly enjoyed running outside and shouting into the wind with no one to hear. A truly fabulous break. Hide
