About this property

Luxury Scottish Manor house + 9-Seater Jacuzzi + 21-Seater BBQ Cabin

Petite Chateau is an elegant Category A listed pavilion style manor house built in 1820. It was once crowned Scotland’s prettiest house (and we still think it is).

Lovely home in a stunning setting
We had such a fun weekend at Petite Chateau. Nice big bedrooms, beautiful sun room, gorgeous garden. We loved the hot tub, the BBQ hut and the large outdoor seating area, possibly because we were blessed with excellent weather.

Lovely home in Maybole
The Petite Chateau is a lovingly restored and cared for 200 year old home in a bucolic pastoral setting. Situated just outside the village of Maybole, the quiet surroundings are perfect for relaxing in the Scottish countryside. The hot tub and BBQ hut amenities, and the incredible Aga hob in the kitchen allow guests to be perfectly happy staying home on the days they’re not out exploring the Scottish countryside. Linzi and Kevin were a delight to work with and provided excellent recommendations for local dining and activities. They respond promptly to questions and are truly looking to make sure their guests have an exceptional stay.

No hesitation in giving this a 5+ star rating
From check-in to departure, this is a class act. Do not even hesitate for one moment to book this lovely property for any kind of holiday. It was the perfect "home" for our family who traveled to Scotland for our daughters wedding. Thank you Linzi.

I teach children in Moscow (for 2 weeks per month), and travel the world in the other free weeks in my expedition vehicle ‘Icarus’. Look up ‘Land Rover Icarus’ to find out more. I also enjoy scuba diving, snowboarding/skiing, dancing, hiking and painting.

It’s also 10 minutes to the beach and within a short drive to lots of tourist attractions including being in the middle of the world famous golf courses (Turnberry and Troon).

There are only two like this in the world. It’s grade A listed building and protected by Scottish heritage. It’s also been featured on TV including BBC Scotland’s Home of the Year
