Cottage vacation rentals in Great Cumbrae

My friend and I chose this cottage for a quiet getaway with our dogs and it was just what we hoped it would be. We were welcomed by Barbara and Graeme upon arrival and they were very kind and helpful if we had any queries at all. The place was spotless and had everything we needed. The views from the bedrooms were stunning and there were plenty walks nearby the property, which were especially lovely in the evening with the sunsets. It was the perfect scenic escape we needed. Thank you Barbara and Graeme (and Rosie the golden retriever of course!).

Lakeside Cottage is beautiful, peaceful, steeped in history & easy to access once you know where it is, we drove past it 3 times lol. We were greeted with gorgeous fresh flowers in each room & a very tasty bottle of prosecco. Most Definitely will be going back at some point in the near future & can't recommend it enough as a quiet getaway - listening to the river Ayr was blissful!!

A wonderful location and accommodation was spotless. It had everything you could need for a short or long stay. Hot tub was private and very relaxing. Hope to stay again and would highly recommend.

Clare’s place was simply amazing! It is beautiful and well thought out. It has everything you need to feel right at home. We cooked some meals for our kids and the kitchen was well equipped for everything we made. The animals and wildlife around the house was an added bonus and kept the kids very entertained, along with the little play area to the side of the house. We will definitely be back if we were in this part of the world again :)

Rachel’s Farm ‘The Cottage’ was exactly as advertised. Perfect for the wife and I to have a last minute romantic weekend away. Booking was so easy, the property was very homely and welcoming and we immediately felt the worries of the world disappearing as we relaxed into the hot-tub listening to the wildlife. Also after a day of exploring the area to be able to slip into that awesome rolltop bath. I’m one of the larger built gentleman, and to have a bath that I can lay in and fit was sublime. You almost had to charge me for the cost of that bath as I was tempted to bring it home with me. 👍and then to climb into that bed. I haven’t slept that well for months..! Honestly, if you are considering staying here, I would 100% recommend it. You will not be disappointed.

We absolutely loved our stay here, the hot tub made it even better. Place was immaculately clean, no faults what so ever. Basic kitchen equipment which is all you need for a few days away. Plenty of restaurants, take aways and shop within the area if you’re driving so was able to have the option there if we fancied. Access was easy and it was easy to find, we both liked how it wasn’t on a public road etc and it was so peaceful at night. We were lucky to be able to see a sunset on our first night and that was fantastic, being able to be in the hot tub and have those views was just unreal. Even on our second night the weather wasn’t the best we still loved every minute of it. We cannot recommend this enough, we will definitely be back! Thank you both again

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Not only does the place look fantastic but it is extremely homey and comfortable. The host Lynne was super prepared for our stay and had a high chair set up for our baby along with baby wipes readily available. A lovely welcome pack left in the fridge for us which was greatly appreciated. The property had so much to offer from a large spacious garden with a games garage with a pool table and plenty of garden games, A hot tub and patio furniture (All of which in fabulous condition) to beautiful soft furnishing indoors, with comfortable bedding and fresh towels on each bed. An excellent kitchen with all the things you would need and a local shop at the end of the road that’s easily accessible. Short drive to Ayr beach and all that has to offer also so is perfect to be able to enjoy the sea side but come back to a quiet residential space at the end of the day. 10/10 stay and would highly recommend to anyone looking to visit the area.

By far our favourite Airbnb after 5 weeks of travel. Extremely clean, comfortable and well appointed. Donna has thought of everything! Located within a very quaint and quiet village. We loved all of it, just wish we had more time.

Really enjoyed staying here. Beautiful surroundings yet not too far from Glasgow. The cottage was spotless and a great size, felt right at home. Loved seeing the chickens. Host was really helpful and accommodating. Would highly recommend and hope to come back.

This little cottage is located in an ideal setting opposite a pebble beach which my Beardie absolutely loved. The sound of the gentle lapping of the waves was so soothing in the evenings. Whilst the cottage is not close to many amenities it was only a shortish drive to everywhere. The scenery all around was absolutely stunning and Sue was a mind of information and recommendations. The cottage was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed a very welcome break at Rose cottage - our 4 legged friend enjoying the most!

Wonderful stay at Fa’side Cottage. The cottage was immaculate, spacious and located in stunning surroundings. The gardens are beautiful. Ingrid was a fantastic host and everything we could’ve needed was provided. We hope to return soon.

Beautiful sage and friendly place to stay- thoughtfully finished and a gloriously good sleep! Thank you so much ! Would definitely stay again

Couldn't have been happier with the cottage or the location. The cottage was clean, well presented and had everything we needed. The beds and pillows were comfortable including the sofa bed. The kitchen was well stocked. Great to be able to log into Amazon and Disney on the TV and watch like at home. Drymen was only 20 minute walk down a quiet road with plenty of amenities. Pretty too. Just a bit further to Balmaha, Loch Lomond and Finnich Glen.

Awesome accommodation in a beautiful area. We enjoyed a lovely walk along the river and even took a drink to enjoy in the peaceful surroundings. Chris’s homemade scones were the best! Highly recommend.

Andreas place was absolutely stunning exactly as described totally worth the money. We were also able to take our cats as our sitter had bailed out which was totally convenient for us as we were there for the weekend. This Airbnb is located so close to Troon town Centre and the Royal golf course as well as Lochgreen House Hotel where we attended a wedding. We would have loved to have stayed for longer as there’s so much we could have done in Troon. this Airbnb has everything you need and Andrea has totally accommodated guest needs within this house, has thought of everything.

We had a lovely wee stay at the cottage. We were with our 16 month old daughter and Lyndsey provided us with a cot, high chair, food bins and toys. The cottage was cosy, had every amenity that we needed. Lyndsey was super responsive and even showed us where we could steal some pellets to feed the horses. All in all a lovely stay with a friendly and responsive host. Very close to Glasgow airport but also quiet and tucked away. Really enjoyed our stay x

What a perfect stay in Balmaha, I wish we could stay forever! Fiona's place is beautiful, all the amenities, fit our family of 4 with space left to spare.

Great cottage that was a lot larger than I expected it to be. Well equipped and a great location for walking into town. Really enjoyed having morning coffee in the garden and watching all the wee birds. The garden is beautiful - really well stocked and well looked after. Sunrooms at front and back of cottage are a highlight. Parking is on the road, which isn’t a problem as there is plenty of space for on-road parking, but not always possible to get parked immediately near the cottage.

This cottage is fantastic. Everything here has been thought of. If you were inclined you could literally prepare any main meal here. The location was perfect for us looking for a simple, peaceful base to explore Bute from. The host has placed in the cottage. plentiful maps, walks and references for things to do on the Island. Ettrick bay is a tranquil retreat with amazing scenery in every direction. It has good walks locally and an hourly bus back into Rothesay. If you wish you can walk the old Tram path back to Port Banantyne (about 90 mins). I have to say we were extremely fortunate with the weather (17-21 March) and it was wonderful at the end of the day to sit on the patio with a glass of wine staring out to sea and the Island of Arran. Simply Stunning.

Kevin was a fantastic host, and his directions to the cottage were perfect (thank you). I was unprepared for how beautiful the view was IRL and I loved the interior decor with amazing art work and sculptures, showcasing local artists. The home felt like a well curated art museum but with all the comforts of home. I also really enjoyed identifying the birds visiting the bird feeders in the garden (especially from the kitchen, and thank you for the book of birds left there for handy reference). I wish we had more time in the house and on the island but we will be back. I would definitely recommend Kevin’s cottage for a visit to Arran

We had a great stay for 5 nights in total, this AirBnB was in a very nice spot and it had everything we could need/want. Caroline and Stephen were great hosts, very responsive and approachable if we had any questions. Check in was flexible and worked well. Caroline made sure the place would meet our needs as we have a baby (which it did). Overall a very enjoyable holiday. Caroline and Stephen gave us advice on nice places to visit and it has ready access to the Dunoon ferry and the Highlands. Would throughly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay! The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The balcony was a real highlight — stunning views and a lovely spot to relax, even with a bit of rain! It was also super pet friendly — our dog felt right at home. Jo was very responsive and helpful with recommendations, which made exploring the area even better! The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, but still had plenty to do nearby. We’d definitely love to come back. Highly recommend!

Dot and Dougie were excellent hosts. The cottage is spacious with lovely decor. We felt at home straight away. Delightful garden and views across the valley. Lovely walk from just across the road by a river and gorge. We'd certainly want to stay here again if we come back to Arran.

A very special spot right on the loch with beautiful views from almost every room. The space has everything you need and is very cosy! Great and responsive host. Would most definitely visit again.
