We are located in the heart of Burns Country in Ayr, beautifully situated at the estuary of the River Doon, right by the famous Ayr Beach. Burns Cottage, Museum and the famous Brig O'Doon are all within a 20 minute walk . There are beautiful river walks and stunning beach walks on the doorstop and Ayr Town Centre is a 5 minute drive or 30 minute walk from the house.
There are top class restaurants, cafes pubs and shops within easy walking distance.
South Ayrshire is also golfing country and there are two excellent local courses within a ten minute walk from the house and several other top flight links courses within a 20 minute drive including Prestwick Old Course, the site of the first ever Open Golf Championship and the British Open courses at Royal Troon and iconic Turnberry.
Further afield Glasgow is within an hours drive or 40 minute train journey from Ayr Station. Edinburgh is about 90 minutes drive from Ayr. There are plenty of public transport options nearby
The property itself is beautiful with all the facilities you will require for your stay. Both bedrooms have King Size double beds, one of which can be split into 2 singles if required. There is a "Jack and Jill" bathroom between the two bedrooms and another shower room downstairs.
We look forward to welcoming you to beautiful South Ayrshire and our lovely home.

Well-equipped, very nicely presented and comfortable house in a fabulous location next to the river and beach. It’s a lovely quiet location and we enjoyed seeing a couple of deer trotting up the street, whilst we were there.
Gary very kindly left us a large selection of breakfast items in the fridge, plus tea, coffee, milk, condiments etc, all of which were much appreciated on the morning after attending a wedding.
We’d love to stay again in future for a weekend break and to bring our little dog who would love the proximity to the beach and the safe enclosed garden.
Really clear and helpful communication with Gary in the run up to our booking and, although we didn’t cross paths on our stay, his son was ion hand in the adjoining house if we needed anything.
Thanks for a lovely stay.

The property was advertised as a 3 bedroom property however it is only a two bed.
The property and the owner were fantastic and the location is great for long walks on the beach.
We would definitively stay there again.

Convenient location - only a few minutes walk to the sea and about 15 minutes walk into Ayr along the seafront. Well appointed property and a welcoming host. Will definitely use again and would recommend to others.

What a great place to stay. Very comfortable and no distance to the most beautiful part of Ayr beach. We were staying whilst visiting family and definitely hope to come back.
4.9
The house is a great base for exploring Ayrshire. Ayr beach is right on the doorstep, Alloway and Burn's country is just a short drive down the road and it's not too long a drive or train journey to get through to other town and cities. Gary was a great host and was onhand to help whenever required as he stays in an attached annex. The house was well equipped and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend this house to stay in.
4.9
Restful retreat yet just off the beachside walk and with good pub/restaurant at top of road. Ideal for visiting Rabbie Burns birthplace and the museum (both National Trust Scotland).

Excellent property, clean, comfortable and a fantastic location.
Thoughtful extras that made a late evening arrival so much easier.

The perfect location for a trip home to visit family. The Retreat was the perfect base - clean, spacious and modern. Close to the beach and all amenities. The host, Gary, made us immensely welcome and went the extra mile to make our stay memorable! We will heartily recommend this property and definitely will be back in future.

Fantastic weekend with wider family and we had the space to host all for dinner! A fantastic indoor outdoor space with a well equipped kitchen. Beds very comfortable and bathrooms well appointed and modern.

Great Location
This property is in an ideal location for quiet sea front walks and close enough for all the amenities in Ayr. Culzean Castle is a short drive away and a great day out for all ages. Loved the Burns experience in Alloway. The property is modern and well equipped, beds are extremely comfortable. Great place to just relax.

Booked this property for myself and my groomsmen the night before our wedding at brig o doon house hotel. The accommodation was perfect in every way , Gary replied to any queries almost instantly and cannot fault anything . Full breakfast and bottle of wine in the fridge on arrival was a lovely touch too. 10/10.

Beautiful condo, it exceeded all our expectations. Stayed here with my husband and daughters aged 6 and 14.
Plenty to keep us all entertained, the girls particularly like the local equestrian center and had 2 lessons/hacks. We enjoyed the local castles,parks and tree top adventure.
The accommodation itself is stunning, like home from home, everything you need is provided.
Even got left lovely breakfast goodies and prosseco in the fridge. Bonus of a dishwasher and washing machine to use.
I would definitely recommend this property to anyone and would definitely stay again.

My son, his partner and I were attending a wedding at Brig o’Doon last weekend , and only a short taxi ride from the property. We absolutely loved our stay , so lovely, and in such a nice location. Such a surprise to go in and find the fridge full of breakfast items and a nice bottle of wine! Also what a nice touch to have the Xmas tree up and it all looking very festive when we arrived. Thank you Gary for being so helpful and considerate and would highly recommend a stay at the “retreat” .

The property was lovely, modern and bright. It’s in a great location, 5 minutes walk from the beach. It’s a good base for sightseeing, we visited Dumfries House and Calzean Castle which are only about a 20 minute drive away.
Would totally recommend.

We were delighted to stay at Gary's property. He was the perfect host and we had a fantastic time staying there. The house is located right on the beach within easy walking distance of Ayr town centre and Alloway. There were plenty of amazing walks and also restaurants and pubs within walking distance. There are also lots of places of interest to visit in Alloway. The house itself is very modern with everything you need and has a lovely terrace with tables and chairs. The garden is very safe for children and pets.
We'll definitely return again in the future.

Unwind
Lovely place to relax and unwind. The owners are lovely and check in was a breeze and your pretty much left to it. There is everything you will need here from toiletries to food basics to a little cake on arrival, delish!
With everything going on out there we didn’t do much but there are plenty of shops and the beach right on your door step is beautiful.
It really is a home from home and are planning on returning next year with our son.
