Situated in the coastal town of Girvan on the west coast of Scotland, Miner’s Cottage is just minutes from the town’s sandy beach which has the most amazing views over the sea to Ailsa Craig and the Isle of Arran. The sunsets are something to behold and the beach is large and sandy. The town of Girvan has shops, restaurants, and a leisure centre with swimming pool, children’s play area and golf course. If you fancy something a bit different, you can book a boat trip from Girvan harbour out to Ailsa Craig to see the nesting birds or book a fishing trip. Girvan also has great train links to the towns of Ayr and Stranraer and onwards to the city of Glasgow - perfect for a day out if you want to leave the car behind. Situated on the Ayrshire Coastal Path, with over 100 miles of coastline to walk, the area has a stunning backdrop of the ever-changing profile of the mountains of Arran across the Firth of Clyde, this coastline is steeped in history and teeming with wildlife, including red squirrels, deer, otters and seals and is a haven for bird watchers.

The world famous Turnberry Golf Course and resort is only a 5-minute drive away where you can enjoy a round of golf, fine dining or indulge in the stunning spa. There is also a lovely spa at Pebbles where day spas can be booked, which is again only a 5-minute drive from Girvan. Turnberry beach is a beautiful sandy beach where you can walk along to the Turnberry lighthouse for a coffee or a spot of lunch or continue on to the pretty harbour village of Maidens where you can walk along the beach and up into the National Trust Culzean Castle estate with its dramatic clifftop walks, swan pond and beautiful gardens. Ayrshire, also known as ‘Burns’ Country’ is steeped in tradition and history. Visit Burns Cottage, The Burns Memorial Museum and the Brig o’ Doon, the bridge from the famous poem, Tam o’ Shanter. The area is steeped in history with many ruined castles to explore, such as Dunure and Greenan.

A visit and tour to Culzean Castle, designed by Robert Adams and truly one of his masterpieces, is one not to be missed with its dramatic clifftop location. Also worth a visit is the 18th-century Dumfries House, part of the Prince’s Foundation which is home to an unrivalled collection of Chippendale furniture. The 2000-acre estate has been beautifully designed with stunning walks throughout the grounds. The Galloway Forest Park is only a 40-minute drive away and is Britain’s largest forest park with 300 square miles of wild beauty waiting to be explored. The park boasts tranquil valleys, rugged rock faces, forest, moorland, lochs and ancient woodland and a huge diversity of wildlife including red and roe deer, wild goats and many birds of prey. The park has also been awarded the status of one of only four Dark Sky Parks in the western world and when the sun sets enthusiasts come to wonder at the universe revealed above. Glentrool (the nearest visitor centre) is one of the Scottish forestry commission’s 7-Stanes cycle routes. The pretty seaside towns of Ayr, Prestwick and Troon are also close by and the islands of Cumbrae, Arran and Bute are all easily reached for a day out while day trips to Ireland can be taken from Cairnryan. Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park is just over an hour’s drive and is well worth a visit. Beach less than 1 mile..
