Staying here also puts you within easy reach of Ayr, which is 20 minutes north and home to a long sandy beach, and Alloway, birthplace of Scotland's national bard, Robert Burns. It’s also a handy base for exploring Ayrshire and taking advantage of the opportunities for activities including kayaking, white water rafting, climbing and mountain biking, and for heading to the offshore islands of Arran, Cumbrae and Bute.
