The Cottages
Located on the South West Coast of Scotland, Firth View is perched on the Carrick Hills with stunning views across the Firth of Clyde to the Isle of Arran and, on a clear day, Northern Ireland. Just 4 miles south of
Ayr town centre turn off the coast road to Firth view’s private road and instant tranquility – surrounded by sheep, cows and an array of natural wildlife. Switch off in your spacious new home from home, soak in your wood fired hot tub or sit back and just take in the views with a chilled glass or two.

One of the most beautiful locations and accommodation we have ever stayed in. The house is adorable, extremely clean and welcoming, and the views across the Firth and to the Isle of Arran are stunning. Clare is a great host (thanks for the welcome gifts Clare) and a great communicator. Highly recommended!

A delightful spacious cottage set on a farm with wonderful views to the coastline. So peaceful and restful.
Julie
This cottage was an absolute gem of a property to stay in, everything from the little welcome gifts to the fact it even had washing up liquid, shower gel etc!! It was so peaceful and the views were outstanding. Everything was spotless, comfortable beds, and everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. Clare was very responsive to us when we had a query about the internet. The location was also excellent and I loved seeing all the farm animals too!!

Was very grateful for this peaceful break away in beautiful surroundings.
Thoughtful touch in the welcome 'pack' including milk, butter, ice lollies, Tunnocks' Snowballs and a bottle of Prosecco. Generous.
Lovely to have a decent break, and visit some amazing coastline.

Balig is set in a fantastic location. We really enjoyed looking over the fields to the sea and Arran beyond, and watching all the wildlife. The cottage itself was spotless and had everything you needed and more.
Lisa
This was a lovely comfortable home to stay. Amazing views over the sea to the islands and horses in fields around the house. Everything was clean, comfortable, well provided and thought about. We had an 8 month old with us and she provided a high chair and travel cot. Clare was lovely and helpful. Couldn’t have been better. This area is also a hidden gem we loved it. Thank you!
Lindsay
Just back from a lovely few days at Clare’s cottage. The cottage is beautiful and the sea views were absolutely stunning. I’d highly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle.
Sheila
Gorgeous setting, amazing sunsets, perfect cottage! Great for our family for the few days visiting Ayrshire. The cottage is really suitable for young children, and it's warm, safe and stylish. Clare was really helpful, answered our messages quickly (even when I messaged at 8pm Saturday night!) and suggested places for us to visit. We'll definitely be visiting again.
George
The cottage was so lovely and in a beautiful location. It had everything you could possibly need and was so quiet and peaceful. The children loved the games in the cupboard! It was so kind of you to put up some decorations for my 40th birthday and to leave some Prosecco for us. Thank you for the milk and butter in the fridge too, so thoughtful so we could have a cuppa when we arrived! Thank you for the very quick and friendly messages too!

The cottage is perfect in every way. It has everything you'd ever need to relax and explore Scotland. Check-in and out was super easy, everything was clean and setup on our arrival. Thank Clare for a lovely relaxing stay.
Rob
The location was breathtaking, and it's the perfect place to spend some quite and quality time. The cottage was spic and span, and everything was provided as per the listing. It is very close to the Ayr farm, which is a must visit. The three days went by too soon (doesn't the vacation always end sooner than you expect :). We would love to come back!!
Jatin
We really enjoyed our 5 nights stay in Clare's cottage. Its a relaxing location with great views. Our toddler loved spying at all the wildlife and farm animals. The furniture was modern and comfortable, stylishly contrasting with the traditional cottage interiors. A great place for a family to stay. Highly recommended!
