My family plus our five boarder collies stayed here over the August Bank Holiday and had one of our best breaks yet. The house was clean, spacious and well set up with everything we needed and the grounds were absolutely fantastic for the dogs who I think had a better time than we did. Easy to get to and perfectly... More

We stayed at Doonbank Cottage back in June and we thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful setting the cottage provided. Set back from the estate you totally feel like you're in the country rather than a village. The gorgeous flowers were in full bloom during our stay and we had Rabbits grazing on the lawn morning and night ( much to our... More

The house is set in wonderful grounds and having good weather for the week meant we could use it to the full. Great walks along the river. Very relaxing.Easy access to Ayr as well just 10 mins drive away. Ample grounds for our dog Sweep to roam freely as well. Spotlessly clean. As I mentioned earlier we used the cottage... More

The house looks even better than the photograph suggests. Unfortunately January is perhaps not the best time of year for a garden to look... More

The best... More

The time we spent at Doonbank Cottage was one of the most enjoyable that I have had in years. I can still hear the calming sound of the river and recall those long relaxing walks with the family and the dogs. This holiday was pure escapism for all of the family. The children never got bored and my wife and... More

We were able to relax completely, we became so stress free. The house and the grounds are beautiful and only occasionally ventured out from the grounds. Our family dog loved running free in the grounds. A wonderful holiday was had by all. Thank you very much. We enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, the wildlife was wonderful, we fed Hamish on a...

We have stayed in a few self-catering cottages in England over the last few years, but Doonbank certainly gave us more value for for our money than experienced in the past. For a golfer, the location is ideal. Alloway is a treasure - check out the local post office shop. It has many goodies. The Brig O Doon restaurant is... More
