Kitty’s Cottage lies only 150 yards from Girvan’s lovely sandy beach and promenade, with stunning views over to Ailsa Craig and the mountains of Arran beyond. Girvan also has a wide range of shops and a modern leisure centre with a swimming pool. There are a number of good restaurants, take-aways and friendly pubs. Girvan Golf Course is a short 18-hole par 64 course, and is an interesting mix of links and park land golf. Girvan has a fairly busy historic harbour with a small marina, rnli station, and a busy working boatyard servicing vessels from all over the country.
Girvan makes a really good base for day-trips, historical, cultural and outdoor. Here are a few suggestions the owners recommend. The historic town of Ayr is only 20 miles away to the north, and en route you can visit the clifftop Culzean Castle, designed by Robert Adam, Turnberry Lighthouse and the remains of Bruce’s Castle. Also on the Ayr coastal road you can visit the historic villages of Maidens and Dunure, beaches and castles. Closer to Ayr is Alloway, home to the Burns Birthplace Museum, a must-visit. Ayr itself merits a whole day out, with its fantastic town beach, interesting river front, historic buildings, a good shopping centre, and countless pubs, restaurants and cafés.
Heading south from Girvan, head down the coast road with its views to Ailsa Craig, the Mull of Kintyre and even the north of Ireland on a clear day. Visit the historic village of Ballantrae on the way to Stranraer, the Rinns of Galloway and the historic village of Portpatrick with its spectacular clifftop walks, remote coves, pubs and restaurants.
East and south from Girvan lies the Galloway Forest Park with great scenery, easy and difficult walking terrain, and some of the most attractive uplands in the south of Scotland. Carry on south to visit the market town of Newton Stewart on the River Cree, and the quaint villages of the historic Isle of Whithorn on the Solway Firth.

Kitty’s cottage is very warm and comfortable; very well equipped with comfy beds. It’s ideally placed for exploring the Ayrshire coast or visiting Glasgow, and is about 100m from Girvan beach, which our dog loves. The shower looked like it might be tricky for headroom as the smallest of us is 5’10”, but it was fine.

We had a wonderful stay at Kitty’s cottage. The cottage is so homely and feels really welcoming. It’s lovely and warm, even when the weather outside was freezing. It was super clean and very well equipped. We loved walking on the beach, which is only moments away, with such beautiful views. Driving over Galloway forest park, we stopped to feed the goats and deer, which was wonderful. You need to take your own carrots or other fruit / veg to feed them. Galloway forest is also a dark skies park, we drive up to Loch Trool to see the stars, which was amazing. This is a beautiful area with lots to see and do, we had a wonderful holiday.
