    Although we enjoyed plenty of walks around the estate, it would have been nice to have had a small secure and enclosed garden at the property itself, so as to have somewhere to let the dog off the leash safely.

    The estate and property are beautiful. The bothy cottage felt like a well-looked after wee home, with all the mod-cons and tasteful decoration. The hosts were very helpful and thoughtful, having carefully catered for pets needs and provided some welcome groceries. We arrived a bit late to the estate and struggled to find out way in the dark, but the hosts very graciously met us and showed us the way. During our stay, we enjoyed watching all the wee songbirds that would visit the bird feeders by the lounge windows. A very restful stay.

    Everything was perfect no faults

    We spent the afternoon/night in the beautiful wee bothy cottage with serene views. Adrienne was the perfect host and pulled out all the stops. Everything was perfect. The cottage is absolutely beautiful and so homely with the added extras of bread, milk , eggs tea, coffee etc. Cosy fire pit and seating area outside with loads to explore n see.

    There was nothing not to like about Wee Bothy and its very quiet location. we would definitely stay again

    The grounds of Carnell Country estate were stunning, beautiful gardens with 1000,s of baby pheasants roaming around. Met Adrienne - the owner and her 2 labs, very friendly and responsive, checking in to make sure everything was ok. Lovely welcome pack of bread, milk, butter, eggs, fruit plus all necessities there - condiments, oil, spices. It really wasn't a rental property, was a home - beautifully decorated - loved it

    Internet would drop out occasionally although it proved a minor inconvenience as it would soon reconnect.

    Very comfortable with ample provisions provided. Loved the estate with its variety of animals including hairy coos .The small forest adjacent to the Wee Bothy and the stream flowing through was so serene. The bird feeders in front of the lounge windows led to a steady stream of varying birds with pheasants cleaning up the spillage. The accommodation was everything you would need for a long or short stay.

    Wonderful apartment in the main house of the estate with its own entrance and courtyard parking immediately outside. Very spacious, comfortable, and beautifully appointed kitchen/diner, bathroom, living room and bedroom. Extremely welcoming - with tea, coffee, breakfast items including milk, fruit juice, bread and eggs to help guests feel at home right away. The grounds are stunning with formal gardens, woodland and a small lake with swans and heron. Highly recommend this location for anyone visiting Glasgow, Ayr/Ayrshire, Troon or the vicinity. Easy drive to the coast and into surrounding countryside. A real gem!

    We had to leave

    First stay in the Wee Bothy, it is a beautiful, very clean cottage with excellent facilities. Even our wee dogs were well looked after. Adrienne and her team supplied a starter food package for us and a dog bed, bowls, towel and treats for the dogs. Bird food is provided so you can watch a variety of species come to the feeders, from the comfort of the settee. Games, books and dvds are provided. Every detail is considered in order to make your stay most enjoyable, from the luxury toiletries to the torch which is very useful when out in the dark. The Estate is beautiful and walking through it is most enjoyable. Thank you Adrienne and team - a very much needed time out from our busy lives. X

    We honestly loved the property, if it was a bit closer to the estate or to the town/local inn it would have been perfect! But it was lovely to get away from the city.

    Very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed and more. Loved the little touches (chocolates, wine, eggs, etc.).

    There was nothing to dislike. I can’t wait to go again

    Perfect cottage in a perfect location with perfect hosts. The cottage was comfortable and fully equipped with everything u need and more. It was in a beautiful, quiet location and the hosts were friendly, on hand without being too much and very helpful. They couldn’t do enough. Definitely somewhere you could completely relax and recharge your batteries! I have never bothered to do a review before after a holiday but this little gem couldn’t be left without sharing all the amazing attributes it had. Definitely got holiday blues on returning. Nearest beach about 20 mins drive away. Definitely 5 Stars.
