Luxury Self-Catering Cottage in Rural Ayrshire
Blackside Cottage sits on a working farm with 9 acres of private land - woodland, open moorland, and a meandering burn, all yours to explore during your stay. The views stretch for miles across Ayrshire moorland, and when night falls, the dark skies offer some of the best stargazing in central Scotland.
No traffic noise, no streetlights, just space and quiet. You'll see deer at dawn, squirrels and pheasants in the woods, and buzzards overhead. It's the kind of place where you actually switch off.
Your Base for Exploring Ayrshire
Blackside sits in the middle of everything Ayrshire offers. Beaches, golf courses, castles, and Burns country are all close by. Explore the River Ayr Way, or just stay put and enjoy the farm. The cottage makes a proper base - comfortable, well-equipped, and genuinely peaceful.
We're 45 minutes from Glasgow but genuinely remote.
