Despite Yonderton being in the open countryside, Ayr is only 15 minutes away, where you will find almost everything! This Victorian seaside town is steeped in history and has great eateries where you can sample a wide variety of locally grown produce. Ayrshire’s many golf courses are only minutes away with Trump Turnberry and Royal Troon being some of the top-rated courses in the world. We truly are the gateway to the west of Scotland, with Glasgow only 50 minutes away, trips to the Isle of Arran are possible with only a short drive to the ferry terminal. You can also see the Isle of Arran from the farm - offering up some of the best sunsets you will ever see.
Ferry services go from Ardrossan, Gourock, and Wemyss to Arran, Argyll and Bute, Cumbrae and the Mull of Kintyre. Mountain bikers will love a visit to Galloway Forest National Park. Ayrshire is the heart of Burns’ Country and is steeped in tradition and history. The Ayrshire Coastal Path is a 100-mile-long coastal walk with one of the finest panoramic coastlines in the British Isles.
Crowned with a superb backdrop of the ever-changing profile of the mountains of Arran across the Firth of Clyde, this coastline is steeped in history and teeming with wildlife, including red squirrels, deer, otters and seals; it is also a haven for bird watchers. Culzean Castle, owned by the National Trust for Scotland, is spectacular and is Ayrshire’s most popular tourist attraction. Why not visit Dumfries House, renovated and brought back to life by HRH Prince Charles? Beach 9 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 2 miles.
Yonderton McGill Cottage can be booked together with Yonderton House (ref UK11181) to accommodate up to 18 guests.

It was really a home from home everything was thought of.
It was really a home from home everything was thought of. The little touches provided over the Christmas break was much appreciated. I cannot fault this cottage or the hosts Andrea and Andrew who were very helpful. We would visit again and recommend to others. Thank you both very much .
