We had a fantastic week in the lovely cottage set in its own grounds. The cottage was beautiful and very modern. Everything we needed was provided. There was plenty of room for parking and the outside area at the back of the cottage was ideal for sitting out with a drink after a day out. Although the main road was nearby, you wouldn't know it, as iRead moret was very peaceful. Maybole has a good restaurant, Greensides, where we had a great dinner. We recommend the cottage for a place to stay. Hide

We can't fault the Wee Dipper. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped, and comfortable. It was also ideally situated for touring the area. Sally, the owner, was most kind and helpful when we had occasion to contact her. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage to anyone planning a visit to Ayrshire.
