Cottage vacation rentals in Ballantrae

A 40 year celebration of being married. It was the perfect place for us to relax and enjoy our time together. Many highlights the hot tub view the peacock and peahen dance every night... The night flyover from the herons. Martyn was a perfect host very helpful. Perfect memories thank you.

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!

We had such a lovely stay! It was well located for getting out for local walks and was wonderful to come back to at the end of the day (the hot tub and sauna were wonderful after a day hiking!). The place had everything we needed and Jane and Steve were really helpful - thank you!

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!

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

We had a lovely stay at the gate house. It was beautiful, clean and very tidy. The hot tub was an added bonus which we thoroughly enjoyed with the beautiful sunset. We also had a very warm welcome from Chris and Hannah. Highly recommend and we will be back ! 🤩🤩

We loved our trip to Galloway. Very peaceful, beautiful countryside. Lynne’s cottage was first class in every aspect, especially the private hottub! Lynne and Alistair were both very friendly and helpful. Would fully recommend this area and Claunch Farmstay

We had a fantastic stay in the cottage, it was a lovely cosy space, with everything we could need. Particularly appreciated the cot and highchair, and the washing/drying facilities for soggy walking clothes! Lorna was super friendly and helpful and we look forward to staying again on Arran!

2 Calgow Cottages is a fantastic cottage in a peaceful setting with lots of bird life in the gardens. The cottage is equipped with everything you need for a short or long stay, with a well equipped kitchen, lovely inside and outside seating areas, and three good sized bedrooms. Philip and Graeme were really helpful via message, giving recommendations for places to eat and generally being friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend this property to others, and hope to stay again on a future visit to the area.

Perfectly hosted, lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful location. Definitely recommended and would stay again. Thanks to Amber and Chris

We have just returned from the most wonderful long weekend stay at the Coach House, and we loved every minute of it. The setting is so beautiful and peaceful, and we were so lucky with the weather to be able to enjoy the outdoor space all day and into the evenings, watching the little lambs in the field and the wildlife come and go from the pond, and listening to the bird song, it’s was glorious. The house is lovely, spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. We loved sitting out at the campfire at night and stargazing, and having a soak in the wood fire tub. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to return, it’s a very special place. Thanks so much to the Slogarie team for such a wonderful getaway, we will be back!

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.

Even better than expected! We were delayed because of travel challenges and Alison was extremely helpful, even offering to help us when our rental car had a flat tire. The Airbnb was beautiful and the location was exactly what we hoped for: peaceful, quiet, private and surrounded by rolling hills and stunning countryside. We felt safe and welcome by Alison and her family. I’ve stayed in more than 60 Airbnbs around the world and this was one of the best experiences. I loved the cleanliness and solitude, perfect for anyone looking for a relaxing retreat. I would absolutely stay at Alison’s property again.

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.

What a lovely little gem , me and my best friend jayne had a lovely day&night, really wished we could have had longer. Chris welcomed us with freshly baked scones with butter&jam, they are truly scrumptious. Getting down to see the bee's was a highlight and then able to buy the honey from Chris was just a lovely touch,as was the fresh free range eggs from his own hen's, all those little touches add another level off enjoyment for this little gem off a place . The bothy has everything and it's surroundings are truelly magical. I will for sure return and stay longer next time. thankyou Chris was very relaxing and so very peaceful.

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!

Lovely cottage with stunning views of Lamlash Bay and Holy Isle. Found the kitchen light, clean and well equipped, could never get fed up of dinning at the table with that view. The cottage has a two bedrooms, double bed and two singles, very comfortable, ideal for both family and friends. We found the cottage warm and cosy for the two of us and very conveniently situated near the bus stop. Fiona’s instruction was clear and concise. The Co-op is a 5/10 minute walk away and open till 20:00 if you arrive late in the day and need supplies for the morning, no welcome pack provided.

Loved our stay here. Property is well laid out with great amenities. Really clear instructions on how to get there as it's a bit off the main road. Beautiful location.

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

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 house was warm and comfortable with everything we needed. We appreciated the Christmas tree and decorations which made it feel especially welcoming. It is in a scenic and peaceful area with some interesting places to explore nearby. The conservatory and garden would make it an ideal place to visit in the summer. We would certainly recommend this property.

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.
