Property Description
S88157 is situated in an elevated position with views over open countryside. It is a semi-detached courtyard cottage, adjacent to the owner's home, and located on the outskirts of the village of Dalrymple, in the Doon Valley. Nestled in the heart of 'Burns Country', the area is steeped in tradition and history. Fans of Burns will be able to visit many attractions including Burns Cottage, the Burns Memorial Museum and the Brig o'Doon – the bridge from the famous poem 'Tam o'Shanter'. Ayrshire is home to the Ayrshire Coastal Path, 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. The River Ayr Way, a 40 mile, source to sea walk, is also easily accessed. Inland, there are gardens and castles to visit and activities such as riding, racing and golf to enjoy. The many golf courses include the world famous Turnberry course which is close at hand, and also has a fantastic spa and outdoor centre. Culzean Castle (owned by the National Trust for Scotland) is spectacular and is Ayrshire's most popular tourist attraction. Day trips to Ireland can be taken from Cairnryan, and a short drive leads to Ayr, a traditional seaside town.
