We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Muirston Farm and would highly recommend it to others. The house was spacious, clean and comfortable. We loved the decor in the bedrooms. One of our party was my 81 year old mother who particularly appreciated how warm the house was and having a ground floor bedroom. The huge kitchen was well equipped and great for family meals. The hot tub was amazing even on a cold evening. Such a peaceful location and the views of Arran were stunning. All in all a great stay and would happily return

Lovely cozy farmhouse with great views. Adele was very welcoming and answered any questions we had really quickly. The cottage is well located with many things to visit in the vicinity (you need a car). Would definitely stay there again.
