Old Garden Cottage, Straiton, Ayrshire.. Walking, Golf, Fishing & Relaxation.

Straiton, voted one of Scotlands top 10 villages, is set in the glen approaching the Galloway Forest. The village is known as 'The Rambling Territory' due to the number of walks available. Within Ayrshire we have a number of world-class links courses within easy access. The Old Garden Cottage is ideally suited to access the golf available within Ayrshire, with the Open Golf links courses Turnberry, Royal Troon and Prestwick only short distances away.

There are also a great number of additional courses available. Fishing is on the River Girvan where good late season Salmon angling can be found. The River Girvan is a five minute walk from The Old Garden Cottage and Trout and Salmon fishing is available with a permit. Sea Fishing can be done to the south of Girvan where species such as cod, coalfish plaice and bass can be had.

Two double rooms, (one a superking with en-suite and the other a double with exclusive use of a spa bathroom), to a very high standard, are available, each with TV and tea/ coffee making facilities.

Wifi is available. There is a guest lounge with Sky TV.

The village has a hotel, The Black Bull Hotel, where meals to a high standard can be bought, all cooked by mild mannered Kenny.

There is also a very good tearoom, The Buck, where fantastic home baking is available. Indeed Dorothy's Carrot Cake come with a high recommendation, some would say famous.

The village also has a community run store where a wide range of local products and essentials are available.

Nearby, you can pay a visit to Culzean Castle or Blairquhan Castle or indeed visit the Robert Burns National Heritage centre in Alloway.
