Touring holidays & breaks in Ayrshire and Burns Country, Prestwick airport, Scotland

7 day break

Here is a little 7 day mixed touring and activity holiday we have put together for you to demonstrate just a little of how much you can see and do, and why your time with us will be too short!!

Day 1

Arrive at the inn, chill out, unwind, relax over a leisurely dinner and a few malts or local ales. Get a good nights sleep ready for the next day.

Day 2

Get into the spirit of the area with a Heritage tour. Start at the nearby Bachelors Club, then to Ayr, Alloway and the Burns Heritage Park. Then head south via the coastal road through Dunure and Dunure Castle, to fabulous Culzean castle. Return north via soter Johnnies Cottage at Kirkoswald, past famous Turnberry Hotel, back to Ayr and Stair.

Day 3

A day ‘on foot’. Perhaps a round of Golf in the morning at Belleisle (or a ‘warm up 9 holes at Belleisle Seafield in the morning followed by 18 at the championship course in the afternoon). Alternatively help us choose a sensational local walk for you. For the more adventurous – a trip to the Galloway Hills to climb the Merrick – the highest peak south of Glasgow.

Day 4

A leisurely day tour will take you through Largs to the Erskine Bridge and onward to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Return to Glasgow for a spot of shopping, via Aberfoyle, then back to the Inn.

Day 5

Country sports for the men, shopping for the ladies. Ladies visit the excellent shops in Ayr in the morning, followed by a spot of early lunch there, then an afternoon train trip to the superb Buchanan Galleries in Glasgow. Gentlemen – a day’s river fishing or shooting we’ll help organise.

Day 6

We highly recommend a day trip to beautiful Galloway, via Kirkcudbright to the Book Town of Wigtown, then along the Solway coast to Rockcliffe and Kippford. Stunning!! Get back in good time for an early supper before contemplating an evening’s entertainment at the cinema or the Gaiety Theatre in Ayr.

Day 7

On your last day its your choice. Another round of golf perhaps, this time at glorious Royal Troon, or Kilmarnock Barassie. Something from the above you didn’t do? A day trip to Arran? Or the sensational Vikingar Museum at Largs? Then return to the inn for a ‘taste of Scotland’ farewell dinner.

Day 8

A hearty Scottish breakfast and a fond farewell. Haste ye back!
