Situated only yards from a beautiful sandy beach, Rose Cottage is perfect for a relaxing seaside break.
Located in the lovely village of Maidens with its quaint harbour, village shop, café, bistro and award-winning restaurant. From here you can walk along the beach up into the beautiful Culzean Castle estate with stunning clifftop views over the sea to Arran and Ailsa Craig.
The Ayrshire Coastal Path runs along this coastline and is very popular with walkers. The area is steeped in history with many ruined castles to explore, such as Dunure, Turnberry 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, as is a trip to the 18th century Dumfries House, part of the Princes Foundation and home to an unrivalled collection of Chippendale furniture. The 2000-acre estate has been beautifully designed with stunning walks throughout the grounds. The world-famous Turnberry Resort is within walking distance and in addition to golf has a fantastic spa and outdoor centre. Take a boat trip from Girvan out to Ailsa Craig to see the nesting birds or a fishing trip. The town also has a lovely leisure centre with swimming pool. The pretty seaside towns of Ayr, Prestwick and Troon are only a short drive and there are very good rail links from Ayr for a trip to the cosmopolitan city of Glasgow and also historic Edinburgh. 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. Beach 150 yards.
