Blackshaw Farm
Blackshaw Farm is located on the outskirts of West Kilbride; Scotland’s first accredited Craft Town. In a private position with views overlooking the surrounding countryside, you can relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings whilst having all amenities only a short 5 min drive away. Whilst being extended over the years, the farmhouse dates back to the 1820s and is rich in history and character. On two levels, it offers a high standard of comfort throughout and is a great choice at any time of the year. There are two bedrooms upstairs with king size beds and a large family bedroom downstairs with both a double bed and single bed. A travel cot can also be provided on request. The family bathroom upstairs has a walk-in shower. The large living room which has double doors opening on to the country kitchen/diner is a great social space, including a dining table with ample seating for 8 guests. Both the entrance hall and living room benefit from wood burning fires to keep you super cosy during your holiday. There is a pretty garden to the front of the farmhouse with a gate through a traditional drystone dyke leading to a large field, ideal for kickabouts or just letting off steam! Guests can enjoy 8 acres on the small estate with hills, and woodland to explore including a firepit and campfire area on the edge of the woodland just a short distance from the farmhouse. Logs sourced from the farm will be provided free of charge for the wood burning fires and campfire.
Just 3 miles from the farm, is the pretty seaside town of West Kilbride with fantastic views across the water to Arran and surrounding islands. Designated Scotland’s first Craft Town, visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll around the village where they will find a range of cafes, mini galleries, a dedicated craft centre, pubs, and gift shops. More practically, it offers a post office, small supermarkets, and a railway station. Ayrshire is famous worldwide for golf and offers world class championship courses at Turnberry, Royal Troon, and Prestwick. The West Kilbride Golf Club offers a championship links course located in Seamill, 5 miles from the farm. The popular seaside towns of Largs and Ardrossan are 8 miles and 7 miles away, and more locally a beautiful beach at West Kilbride Seamill just 3 miles away. There is excellent sailing in the Firth of Clyde with yachting marinas at Troon, Largs and Inverkip. There are also good opportunities for hill walking and mountain biking, field sports including horse riding, shooting, and fishing.
