Farden Cottage
Situated on a quiet country lane Farden Cottage has stunning countryside views and is the perfect location to relax after a day’s exploring the beautiful Ayrshire coast & countryside. The town of Girvan is only 10 minutes away and boat trips can be taken out to Ailsa Craig to watch the nesting birds or for fishing trips.
The town also has shops & a leisure centre with swimming pool. Only a 5-minute drive from the world-famous Turnberry Golf Course & resort where you can enjoy a round of golf, fine dining or indulge in the luxury spa. Walk along the beautiful sandy beach 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 Culzean Castle estate. The Ayrshire Coastal path runs along this route with its 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. Ayrshire is 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, 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. Also worth a visit is the 18th century Dumfries House, part of the Princes 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 30-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.
There are many pretty seaside towns to explore such as Ayr, Prestwick and Troon and there are very good rail links 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. Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park is just over an hour’s drive and is well worth a visit.
