Our featured holiday cottages in Scotland include this property in the beautiful little coastal village of Maidens on the Firth of Clyde. The harbour, like many west coast harbours, was originally built for fishing but today is mainly used by those who sail for pleasure. There is a lovely long sandy beach around the bay which, as a RSPB designated Ornithological Site, is popular with birdwatchers. It is frequented by redshank, oystercatchers, shelduck, sandwich terns and golden plovers.

The delightful harbour village of Maidens, situated on the largely unexplored coastline of southwestern Scotland and just 1.5 miles from magnificent golf at Turnberry, is the enviable location for this lovingly restored fisherman’s bothy. Boasting its own private decked sitting out area, it is surrounded by the owners’ pretty garden, complete with pond, whilst the harbour, village green and coastline abundant with birdlife are almost on the doorstep. Close by, Culzean Castle is well worth a visit as are Souter Johnnie’s Cottage at Kirkoswald and the Burns National Heritage Centre at Alloway. Trips to the island of Arran depart from Ardrossan and day trips to Northern Ireland from Stranraer are easily possible. Troon is 20 miles. An excellent restaurant is within a short stroll and Maidens has a village shop.
Studio style accommodation. Open plan sitting/dining room with wood burning stove and 6’ zip and link double bed (twins by arr). Kitchen. Shower room/WC.
