This was my second stay at Rowan Muir for one week.

This was my second stay at Rowan Muir for one week. This time with my husband, two adult children, my mum and dad, my sister, niece and two dogs. We all really enjoyed our stay from the youngest who was 17 to the oldest who was 84 year old. The cottage had everything we needed for a lovely stay. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, games room with pool table, darts & table football in the garage, gym in the outbuilding and hot tub in the garden which were all well used during our stay.Lillias was a great host with beautiful flowers and a lovely welcome basket with bread, milk, wine, crisps, biscuits and chocolates in the kitchen. It is a lovely welcome and just what you need on arrival after your journey. She came to check in with us at the start and end of our stay to make sure everything was okay which it was.I will be recommending this cottage to family and friends. I will definitely return again with family or friends in the future to this excellent cottage in a great location, it is clean, well equipped and everything you need for a great stay.

A Cracking Cottage in Kilmarnock!!!!

My family and I had a fantastic time at Rowan Muir!!! The property owners were so lovely, friendly and hospitable which put us at ease straight away. The beds are comfortable, the cottage is spotlessly clean, the kitchen has everything you need and more which helped us feel like this was a home from from! The hot tub and games room were amazing! It was hard to pull ourselves away from it and venture out as it is was so comfortable and has everything you can possibly need. We most definitely will be back again but for a longer stay next time. Thank you so much for a lovely holiday

Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022
