Romantic leisure breaks Scotland country inn hotel accommodation touring travel Ayrshire Scotland

Location & Directions

The inn is in a stunning little rural location, 7 miles from Ayr and Prestwick Airport in Strathclyde, South West Scotland.

Getting to both Ayr and Prestwick Airport is easy. The main A/M77 Glasgow to Stranraer (and the ferries to Northern Ireland) trunk road skirts both Prestwick and Ayr on the landward side and at the first roundabout south of the Airport – known as the ‘Whitletts Roundabout’, take the left turn to Auchincruive Agricultural College and onward to Mauchline, following the local directions below(link).

The M77 is easily linked to, south west of Glasgow city centre off the main M8 Edinburgh motorway which cuts through the centre of the city.

Prestwick Airport is now Scotland’s leading hub serving Ireland, London Stansted and Western Europe, courtesy of Ryanair. Car and van hire is available at the airport as well as a 24 hour taxi rank.

Main rail links are to stations at Prestwick Town and Ayr, both of which have ½ hourly services to Glasgow and Paisley (for Glasgow Airport) from 5.45 a.m. to 11.30 p.m. daily
