Pleasant

A nice property west of Ayr, nice views of the countryside. A bit like stepping through a portal and arriving in 1975, I expected to see Tom and Barbara making nettle tea, the decor would fit perfectly and the kitchen is a bit limited in terms of knives and other utensils. Just a minor point.

Another wonderful stay

This is the second time we stayed at the cottage. The location is excellent, there is so much to do nearby and we found new places to visit this year. There is a garage and small shop in the village but also a short drive to large supermarkets. Being away from the main road means that it's very quiet and peaceful with lovely views which we enjoyed throughout the week. The owners are nearby if we have any questions but we also have plenty of privacy at the bungalow.

Lovely stay

We stayed at this property as it was situated near family that we were visiting. Cottage was clean and the children loved the toys that were there. Lovely views of Arran and the sun setting out of the living room window in the evening. The cottage was a lot bigger than expected and also now has lino in the bathrooms. Well equipped kitchen. Good location. Approx 20 minute drive to Ayr beach which has free parking. Two small shops in village although we didn't use them. My dad visited the chip shop and enjoyed his meal.

A week at Auldbyres Bungalow

Spacious, isolated but not remote, stunning views all round, ideal for a peaceful break away from it all. Comfortable, warm and traditionally furnished, and although the kitchen and TV could do with a tiny bit of upgrading, we loved it.

Welcome break from lockdown

This is a well appointed and spacious property with lovely grounds, garden and setting. It is clean and well kept and the decor is of a period which is charming in its own right. If you want super modern then this may not be for you but there is everything here that you need to be comfortable and in touch with the world if you need internet etc. Everything works! Privacy and quiet in a handy location to explore from.

geräumiger Bungalow mit supernetten Vermietern

Die Unterkunft ist praktisch eingerichtet und bietet ausreichend Platz für max. sieben Personen, es gibt viele Kinderspielsachen, DVDs, Bücher... Die Vermieter sind ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit, wir wurden mit frischen Eiern vom eigenen Bauernhof sowie einem megaleckeren Schokoladenkuchen verwöhnt. Die Wohnung ist ein sehr guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in Richtung Süden und auf die vorgelagerten Inseln. Wir kommen sicher wieder.

Lovely, private location, fantastic hospitality. Amazing stay.

Sue and Marshall were so warm and welcoming. The children loved feeding the hens and the freedom to play in safety. The fresh farm eggs and some milk were a nice touch upon arrival. Large, comfy bungalow...had great nights sleep. Great location for exploring Ayrshire. Sue and Marshall gave us as much privacy as we required but were a great help and on hand if we needed guidance or assistance. Love this place and hope to return in the summer. We stayed with our children 5 and 17 mnths. Amazing.

An Authentic Scottish Farm Stay

We fully enjoyed our stay at the Auld Byres bungalow and farm. Quiet, peaceful, and just a very short drive off of the main roads. The owners were extremely pleasant, helpful, and very accommodating. It was clean and private, just a little bit musty and dated (exactly what we expected from an authentic Scottish home), but totally charming and comfortable. Our son loved feeding the chickens and even got a ride on the tractor. It was a great home base for exploring the Aryshire area and Isle of Arran. If we ever come back to this area, we would definitely look to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Sue Veitch

Sue and husband Marshall have lived and worked at Auldbyres Farm for over 30 years.
Our 3 children have left home so we have been welcoming guests to our farm cottage for the past 10 years, many of whom have become 'regulars' and family friends.
Please note that we are only a very small 'family' business - just the 2 of us - and the 1970's bungalow is 'dated', so, if you are looking for a chic, modern place to stay, this holiday rental is NOT for you!
It is however clean, quiet and comfortable - an ideal base for work teams or outbound guests who want to explore beautiful SW Scotland.
The large cottage/bungalow has its own private driveway, with lawned garden and rosebeds, and is secluded by a hedge on 3 sides, but we live just 'next door' and so are on hand in case our help and advice is needed.
Sue is an enthusiastic and knowledgable gardener and keen to show her much admired herbaceous borders to interested guests.

Why they chose this property

We bought the typical Ayrshire family farm over 30 years ago and now stock it with sheep and hens and grow lots of lush grass for hay and silage!

What makes this property unique

We love the freedom, privacy and spaciousness of our farmland with its mile of river bank and extensive woods and ponds - perfect for wildlife.
We live on a hill with panoramic views and beautiful sunsets.
A rural retreat ...and only 5 miles from a busy town and the sandy beach!
