This setting gives all our properties here magnificent views across the Firth of Clyde to the island of Arran; watch the fulmars coming and going from their precarious nests on the cliffs, enjoy the spectacular sunsets and let the rhythm of the waves lull you to sleep. The 228 hectares (565 acres) of Country Park surrounding the castle offer a stimulating variety of countryside to explore, including clifftop and woodland walks, a delightful Swan Pond, and many fascinating small buildings contemporary with the castle, such as the Gas House and the Ice House. Children, especially, will enjoy the adventure playground, the Deer Park and the rock pools on the shore. A Visitor Centre and ranger service will enhance your experience of the castle and park, and there are two restaurants on site. Shops are 5 miles away in Maybole or in Ayr, 13 miles away. The beautiful hills and coastline of Ayrshire provide a wide range of attractions. The region is home to over 30 golf courses, including the famous championship link courses of Turnberry, Royal Troon and Old Prestwick. Long sandy beaches at coastal villages such as Maidens, and the fascinating museums and monuments of Burns Country make this an ideal area for visitors. Ayrshire also offers excellent fishing, cycling, horse riding and clay shooting.

Accommodation details:
Sleeps 4. Accommodation comprises: spacious sitting room with feature fireplace, dining room, one double and one twin bedroom, fully fitted contemporary kitchen and bathroom with electric power shower over bath.
There is a garden area to the front and rear of the property, but this is not enclosed and parents should supervise young children playing out here.
Services: night storage heaters, water heated by immersion. Digital TV is available at Linwood Cottage.
Additional information:
Parking is available at the side of the cottage for up to 3 cars, on a private drive.
Please also note that there is an overhead electricity pole at the bottom of the back garden. Whilst this is perfectly safe, please be aware of this and avoid any activities that might come into contact with the overhead wires (kite flying, carrying and assembling fishing rods, etc.).
About the area:
Close to the Cottage you can find Crarae Garden which is also owned by the National Trust for Scotland. Its main garden is unique, with a strong 'sense of place'. Set on a hillside, down which tumbles the Crarae Burn, the scene is reminiscent of a Himalayan gorge. The surrounding tree and shrub collections are rich and diverse, planted for artistic and naturalistic effect. The garden contains one of the best collections of the genus Rhododendron in Scotland, is unusually rich in cultivars, and also contains part of the National Collection of Nothofagus as well as particularly good representations of Acer, Eucalyptus, Eucryphia and Sorbus. The autumn colours of the leaves and berries are a perfect balance to the earlier blooming rhododendrons and azaleas. The Garden is not just worth visiting in spring and summer , it will also dazzle you with its beauty in the colder months of the year.
Extending to around 25 hectares, the garden was traditionally accessed by a network of paths that criss-crossed the burn via a series of footbridges.
