Bring all your loved ones to this cabin-style retreat. Designed as a contemporary lodge, using the timber and materials from the surrounding landscape, this innovative property is a stylish way to experience the countryside of Ayrshire. Be at one with local wildlife unique to these climes. The property is set in rugged grounds and its interiors are cosy and spacious. It makes the ideal holiday for your troupe of adventurers, as you celebrate your next special occasion, or you can simply relax and get back to nature together.

The building sits on a vast timber deck, where you and your guests can soak in the atmosphere of the hills through the day and into the night. The exterior is timber with a grassed roof, making the house fit stunningly into its surroundings. Inside, the lodge-style rooms boast warm colours and authentic Scottish details.

The kitchen is the perfect space for assembling meals, with all the equipment your designated chef could wish for. The bedrooms — nine in total — are restful retreats.

As this is such a fantastic rural area of Scotland, it's ideal for those looking to step back from the modern world and get back to nature. Pull on your walking boots and head out on one of the many nearby trails which pass your front door. They include the River Ayr Way, where it's quite possible you'll spot an array of wildlife including black grouse, hen harriers and short-eared owls. Keep your camera handy! The town of Mauchline (7 miles) and the village of Muirkirk (10 miles) both have a variety of shops for picking up supplies, while the former has a traditional pub and restaurant as well. For a relaxing day on the coast, head 16 miles west where you'll find the many fabulous sandy beaches of Ayrshire. Keen golfers are spoilt for choice in this area, with the championship courses of Troon and Prestwick both within 20 miles of the cabin. Guests of all ages will love exploring the woods, beaches and parkland at the National Trust for Scotland's magnificent Culzean Castle, which is a 25-mile drive away. Perched on the cliffs, it's a super day out for all the family with 40 buildings and secret follies to be discovered along the way.

A perfect family getaway! We are a large family with great-grandparents as well as great grandchildren, and every age in between! Although we enjoyed glorious sunshine all but one day, it was chilly in the April air, but the cabin was warm and cosy and very easily accommodated all of us to sit together and just enjoy each others company in front ofRead more a lovely open fire. The children throughly enjoyed running outside and shouting into the wind with no one to hear. A truly fabulous break. Hide
