Laighdykes Guest Cottage - Charming Coastal Getaway
Welcome to Laighdykes Guest Cottage – your cosy coastal retreat just minutes from the sandy shores of Saltcoats Beach on Scotland’s stunning west coast. Whether you're seeking a peaceful escape or a base for exploring Ayrshire, our recently refurbished cottage is the perfect home away from home.
Tucked beside our family home, this charming cottage blends comfort and style with thoughtful touches throughout. Inside, you’ll find a bright, open-plan living area with a fully equipped kitchen and breakfast bar – ideal for leisurely mornings or relaxed evenings in.
The cottage comfortably sleeps four guests across two inviting bedrooms:
A double bedroom with a private en-suite shower room (please note this is the only bathroom in the property)
A twin room with two single beds
Please be aware:
There are two steps at the entrance to the cottage
One step into the double bedroom
Two steps into the twin bedroom
No guest access to the garden (though you can still enjoy the view!)
This is a strictly non-smoking property
Whether you're strolling down to the beach or exploring local gems like Arran, Largs, and Ayr, Laighdykes Guest Cottage is your welcoming base for a memorable getaway.
We can’t wait to host you!
