Darnhay Milk House

Absolutely perfect place to escape , great base to visit Ayrshire,Aran, Glasgow etc a very well maintained cottage great hosts ,beautiful sunsets and a lovely welcome of a homemade Victoria sponge would highly recommend

From arriving to leaving Darnhay Milk House Jason and his family were very helpful and available if needed, with nothing a problem The accomodation was very clean and spacious, and the heating was available if required, plus the welcome home made cake was a very nice touch and very nice to eat, thank you The panoramic window offers a stunning countryside view

In spite of having to swap cottages at the last moment (same site),we had a lovely holiday.

Layout of the cottage and location for sight seeing was very good. Jason was friendly and helpful when required. Thank you.

As it’s a self catering holiday it would have been helpful to have a freezer.

The details did state it only had a fridge so we had to take food that had long dates on it. The cottage details stated that the heating programmes were already set times and set at 21 as per Scottish law. Considering we paid extra towards the fuel cost It would have been nice to have an over ride button so that we could have the heating on when we wanted as there were times we felt cold.

Darnhay Milk House was of exceptional quality.

One of the group was extremely ill whilst on holiday and the facilities provided enabled them to isolate in a separate bathroom to their partner. Its location is stunning. We loved the far reaching views and the sunsets each night. Once we navigated the country lanes, it was easy to find our way back but we got lost initially a few times!! Pity I couldn't find anywhere who sold Mauchline ware. I really wanted to buy some. Also when I wanted to send a postcard to Australia, the post office assistant in Mauchline didn't know where Australia was when working out the postage!! Apart from the challenging health issues, really enjoyed exploring a new area of Scotland.

We have just spent a fantastic week at this beautiful cottage.

The cottage is definitely one of the best we have stayed in. The cottage is so well equipped throughout, that there was nothing it didn’t have. It is extremely clean and comfortable to the highest standards, the views from the picture window are amazing and, the location is perfect for visiting Ayrshire completely. The homemade cake was delicious and Jason made us feel very welcome. It was lovely speaking to Erin about her painting and ours has pride of place in our home! We will definitely return in the future and, in the meantime, will recommend it to family and friends.

property in peaceful setting and was very clean and welcoming - especially the home baked cake !

Had everything we needed for a stay whilst attending The Open. Thanks to Jason and family.

A great cottage from which to explore Ayrshire, very helpful and friendly owners on site if required.

Very well equipped and comfy, happy to recommend.

Loved our stay here.

Perfect location to see the local places of interest. Enjoyed the peace and quiet. Comfortable property with everything we needed.

This place was in a beautiful location.

The cottage was stunning. We were so pleased when we arrived. Owner left a wonderful homemade cake for us. We had a few problems, nothing major, more annoying than anything else. No trays or dishes for oven. No rope or whirly to dry washing. No way to get air into main living space. The only windows that open are in bedroom. All in all, we had a great week. Just needed to buy a few things we expected to be there.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Milk House.

It's a lovely cottage, very comfortable and really well equipped. We were made very welcome by the owners and thank you so much for the Victoria sponge.

We loved Darnhay.

Great welcome. Excellent location for the Ayrshire Coast , Glasgow and The Burrell Collection. Fabulous view from the cottage.

The owners of this cottage have got this to a very good standard.

Very spacious, comfortable and a ' home from home'.!! ( A good Victoria Sandwich left for us by the owner, a welcome piece of cake on arrival with a cup of tea.!!) Good location for exploring Ayrshire...Many places to visit near to the cottage.

The cottage on the whole was lovely and well maintained and a good base for exploring the surrounding area, both coast and further inland.

Very peaceful and lovely views. The only things I would improve on are a lack of storage for provisions due to all cupboards being full of equipment and the lack of a shelf in the ensuite.

Lovely cottage, lovely host.

We will return :)

Warm & comfortable accommodation, lovely country views , plenty to do in the area

It’s rural situation but close proximity to local services is perfect.

The property is very well appointed and very comfortable and I could not find fault. I would have no hesitation in booking this property in the future and would highly recommend it to others.

Holiday property was very clean & comfortable.

Lovely setting. The only suggestion for improvement would be perhaps a small cupboard or sideboard as there was no room for food storage. Also we had elderly relatives in our party & they suggested a small stool in the bathroom - ample room for one. The homemade cake on arrival was a nice touch & very much appreciated.

A very comfortable cottage in a lovely, quiet surroundings.

We had a fantastic stay at darnhay.

The millhouse is perfect for a young family (toddler and baby). It is so clean and homily. The location is great, rural and secluded but towns and attractions easily accessible. The hosts are so friendly and helpful, highly recommend.

Over all good

Lovely well equipped cottage in the quiet Ayrshire countryside, but within easy reach of Glasgow and the coast.

We had a peaceful relaxing week to get away from it all. Jason, Cristy and Erin were excellent hosts and provided a delicious cake on arrival. Wouldn't hesitate to book again if we were looking to stay in the area.

We booked to attend a wedding and then explore the area.

The property was good value by the description but exceeded expectations- larger and more comfortable than expected, and with fabulous views. The hosts were fantastic and made great recommendations, and there is more than enough to do in the area- Dumfries house as a start. Even with poor weather we had a great time- the property is very homely and easy to chill in especially with great log burner. With X2 Tesco near by, self catering is easy and the kitchen is functional and Local butchers at Garson are friendly and sell great produce. Lucky to have one great sunset, and we would absolutely stay again- really enjoyed the property and chats with Jason.

Without travelling quite a way there was little of interest in this area.

Excellent cottage is a beautiful quiet location but close to local amenities and furnished to a high standard.

Jason and Christy very friendly and helpful.Would have no hesitation in recommending Darnhay Milk House.

Beautiful accommodation, modern facilities comfortable and wonderful views from the lounge.

Cottage was everything we hoped for, spotless clean and very comfortable.

It suited all our needs being all on the one level .Enjoyed the tranquillity of the countryside yet the easy access to the main roads and coast.Would definitely use again.

This was an absolutely beautiful place to stay.

Immaculately clean, so well equipped and. comfortable- we had everything we needed for a great base for our holiday. The Milk House is in a fab location too- lots of great places within a short driving distance.

We couldn’t have asked for a more lovely stay.

The cottage had everything we needed to give it a real home from home experience. If we were ever back in the area, we would definitely come again.

The cottage was very well equipped and had a lovely situation with panoramic views of the countryside.

There are lots of varied things to do nearby and shops within a short drive.

We had a great week, thank you.

Delightful cottage, very well equipped, peaceful and set in beautiful countryside with lots of wildlife. We were made very welcome by the owners on our arrival. There are many places of interest to visit in the area which are easily accessible and Glasgow is thirty minutes on the train.

Lovely clean cottage with beautiful views, it was perfect for us with young children.

Made to feel very welcome and there was a delicious homemade cake upon arrival, perfect after a very long journey. All the rooms are a good size, and the facilities are great as the owners have thought of everything you need during your stay. It is lovely seeing the cows and sheep outside the picture window and the kids especially enjoyed it. The cottage is a good place to explore South West of Scotland. The kids enjoyed their stay and we recommend Dumfries House on 20 minutes away and the Science Centre in Glasgow. We will be returning to Darnhay Milk House.

The location of the property is so quiet and peaceful and the view from the lounge window is beautiful.

This is our second visit to Darnhay but the first time in the new barn. It’s perfect for visiting family and exploring Ayrshire, including the Isle of Arran. The barn is clean and comfortable and well equipped and a pleasure to return to after a day out. We’ll definitely return in the future.

Staying at Darnay Milk House is a perfect base to explore this part of Ayrshire.

It is also secluded enough to escape from the hectic lifestyle most of us lead. The cottage is beautifully decorated to a very high standard. I myself am disabled and it wa perfect for me.It even has two accessible showers. I would recommend this place 110 percent. Jason and his family are so welcoming we even got a cake on arrival.Love it.

Visiting plaves we had decided we would like to see especially Dumfries.

House which was brilliant

A fantastic cottage!

Recently converted to an incredibly high standard the cottage was the perfect base for our holiday. With more than enough room for two adults and two children - the cottage feels cosy while also allowing plenty of daylight stream in through the roof windows. The picture window in the lounge faces west and is the perfect view to watch the sun set with a glass of wine. Located just outside of a small town the cottage is far enough away from everything to feel secluded yet close enough to amenities like a co-op, bars and restaurants. A perfect getaway with lots to do in the vicinity, walks a plenty and some great places to eat. We will be visiting again!
