About this property

A stylish property to base an escape to the Ayrshire coast of Scotland, Ardlochan Lodge is surrounded by the beauty of the National Trust for Scotland’s Culzean Castle & Country Park, on the outskirts of the charming town of Maybole. Set just 100m from the beach, accessible via a public footpath from the front of the property, this contemporary cottage provides a couple, small group of friends or family with all you could need for a wonderful self catering stay. The last remaining gatehouse on the estate, this unique property has been renovated to provide you with every contemporary comfort; the open plan living space offers a place to spend quality time with loved ones whilst gathered around the woodburning stove, with a TV and radio to keep everyone entertained. The kitchen is well equipped with utensils and appliances to assist you with any home cooking, while the dining table in the centre of the room provides the perfect space to indulge in a glass of wine. Find two beautiful bedrooms to rest your head after each day of adventure, taking your pick from the master double or the twin room, which can be conveniently made into a double on request to offer you a flexible sleeping arrangement, while both bedrooms benefit from being served by the sleek family bathroom. Enjoy a moment's peace outside each morning, soaking in the splendour of your surroundings from the private lawn and patio garden, before exploring the 600 acres of woodlands, the formal gardens and three miles of coastline. In easy reach of the golden sands of Maidens Beach too, Ardlochan Lodge is an exceptional choice for your escape to Scotland. Note: This property can be booked with Refs: 1060512, 1060513, 1060514, 1060515, 1104229, 1104228 and 1104230 together sleeping 31 guests.

Maybole is a coastal town in Scotland, known to be the ancient capital of Carrick, with rich history dating back the 1100s. There is plenty to discover within the town including the 19th century town hall and the imposing Maybole Castle, with plenty of shops and pubs to while away the hours in. Venture further afield to find even more wonder in Ayr, with the Galloway Forest Park and Culzean Bay being just a scenic drive away too.

    The property is in a gorgeous location, we were able to walk around the castle grounds at leisure and it's just a few minutes to the beach. Plenty of outside space and generally comfortable inside. During our stay there was a significant problem with an ant infestation. Ants were on most kitchen surfaces, bathroom, bedroom. We were able to keep them reasonably under control with regular vacuuming during our stay but it was rather unpleasant, particularly around the food and we had to give all of our belongings a thorough clean upon our return.

    Lovely and cast with the underfloor heating. Beach and country park walks were on our doorstep. It was a nice touch to leave some milk and apple juice at the door one morning. Only possible gripe I would have is that the couches weren’t that comfortable but that’s just our opinion. Would highly recommend it.

    The manual controls made little difference and we slept badly as a result.
