Well planned, amazingly well equiped. This is by far the best self catering property that we've ever stayed in, and they've been many in New Zealand, France, Italy, Britain and the Scotland. The amount of wildlife in the area is wonderful. An added bonus, is the house is close to everywhere you'd want to visit but also out of traffic and flight paths. ##### Anne B.

Our granddaughter really loved the large garden and the woodlands and was amazed by the local wildlife which came into the Garden and which we could view from the house, many birds which included pheasant, woodpeckers various finches, crows and sparrows, red squirrel and deer. The location was great very quiet and relaxing but only a 15 minute drive from the local towns and beaches. We had a great holiday and may well come back to this property in the future. ##### William H.

The house is well equipped and has everything you could ever need for a comfortable stay. We loved the location, being close to lots of walks and within reasonable driving distance of attractions further afield. We could sit and watch the wildlife from the garden, spend time outside in nature and switch off, which is just what we needed. ##### Natalie Y.

Each room in house is well stocked and there is plenty of storage for clothes etc in bedrooms. This proved to be a fab base for us to explore the west coast. The only changes we feel the property needs is a little update to give the house a real wow factor which it could be more than capable of. Also while the house was tidy we did feel it wasn’t especially clean and found we had to wash a lot of the kitchen equipment, worktops and cooker before we could use them. Other than this, we found the house to be nice and well placed. ##### Kate E.

The property is very spacious, clean, and well equipped with everything anyone should need. It is set in beautiful and peaceful surroundings, with woods to explore, full of bluebells when we were there. Lots of birds including pheasants around, red squirrels too. We enjoyed exploring the area, with a trip to Portpatrick and the castle ruins on the cliff top, and a walk along the coast by the Killantringan Lighthouse - it was beautiful scenery! We also visited the nearby Galloway Forest and Loch Trool, and also took a boat trip to Ailsa Craig, a uninhabited small island, which is a bird sanctuary about 9 miles from Girvan. We would highly recommend Cairnhapple House to others - a first class property! ##### Elaine W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### jane H. 23 Apr 2019 #### Spacious house and grounds with a small wood A wonderful weeks holiday. Everything our family of 9 could ask for. Quality bedding and towels, fully equipped kitchen, beyond most holidays homes! Bedrooms large with fitted wardrobes and cupboards. Plenty of space in laundry/boot room . Many balls, racquets , foam cricket bat and other outdoor toys. The woods are super for the children especially great fun for the Easter egg hunt. Red squirrels, pheasants, siskins, rooks dashing through the outer areas of the woods, a good display daily. We all loved the house area and especially the lovely host Graham, nothing too much trouble for him. We hope to visit again. The Homer & Murdoch families. ##### jane H.
