Great stay in a home my grandfather had built for his family in 1902. Wonderful family home with lovely garden and sea views. Spacious and perfect a large gathering. The photos do not do the house justice.

Troon Golf Trip

The property was absolutely perfect for our group of 12 golfers aged 45-70.. Host Mike and Dow were great - we asked if we could access the house early - and they were very accommodating .. A pleasure to stay here . Thank you

Great house for our golf trip

Great house. Plenty of room for 7 guys on a golf trip. Beautiful backyard. Plenty of the everyday necessities like glasses and such. Would have been nice to know that the room with the two twin beds was extremely small, but every other bedroom was huge. We made it work. Would definitely stay again.

Weekend in Troon

We had a lovely few days in Mike and Dow's home in Troon. The location was perfect for us, with easy access to the beach across the road. The garden was fantastic, and perfect shelter when the wind picked up a bit! Thanks for having us!

Plenty of room

It is a beautiful house and the garden is stunning. Some of the rooms could do with updating and some painting needs to be done but overall it was lovely. The only downside was the driveway is shared with the owner, we managed to squeeze 3 cars on the drive but watch out for bin day as you have to re-shuffle cars. All in all it's a lovely place to stay.
