Holiday Parks & Lodges in Ayrshire

Visit Ayrshire's best-loved historic sites on a short break or weekend getaway

Always a popular destination for tourists, Culzean Castle is a glorious 18th-century building that enjoys a stunning, clifftop view out onto the Firth of Clyde. Once the home of David Kennedy, the 10th Earl of Cassillis, the castle is filled with resplendent rooms and treasures, including flintlock pistols and military swords, that carry the history of its many previous residents. After you've marvelled at the interiors, roam the surrounding country park estate that leads out onto the sandy beaches of the coastline. Take in the formal gardens, complete with a swan pond, before letting your kids run wild in the Adventure Cove play area nearby. Other ancient castles in Ayrshire include the medieval Dundonald Castle, which has panoramic countryside views from its hilltop location, and Dean Castle and Country Park, which has historical collections to explore inside its medieval walls and a range of relaxing woodland walks within the grounds.

Discover Scottish heritage with a holiday in Dumfries or Ayr

This region is synonymous with two of the most famous Scots. One of Scotland's most famous monarchs, Robert the Bruce, has strong ties to Dumfries, and the tale of his exploits can be heard everywhere from the local museum to a pub named in his honour! Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the town is the magnificent architecture, best seen in Greyfriars Church and the bridge built by Devorguilla of Galloway in the 12th century. No visit to this region of Scotland is complete without visiting the home of the national poet, Robert Burns. Delve into his life and works with a holiday in Ayr, a coastal town in South Ayrshire. In the village of Alloway, just south of Ayr, you can visit Burns's Birthplace Museum, which includes the famous Burns Cottage, Burns Monument and Memorial Gardens. Stay in your own cosy Scottish cottage and enjoy your trip to Ayrshire.
