Darnhay is positioned near the quiet village of Mauchline, set amidst rolling countryside and beautiful Ayrshire scenery. Just over two miles away are the nearest amenities in the village of Mauchline, with shops, pubs, cafes, art gallery and the Burns House Museum. The multi-award winning Sorn Inn is 3 miles away and many of our guests have enjoyed the food, real ale and hospitality to be found here.
Ayrshire is one the best golf destinations in the world with nearly 50 courses to choose from including 5 of the UK's top 100 courses and 3 open championship venues close by.
The seaside resort of Ayr boasts plenty more shops along with sandy beaches.
Prince Charles' philanthropic Dumfries House and estate, with its unrivalled collection of priceless Chippendale furniture, is just 8 miles away. Whilst booking a tour in advance is essential, the grounds are free to enter and well worth a visit in their own right. The playground and engineering water park is also a fun trip out for families.
A little further away is the National Trust for Scotland's jewel in the crown, Culzean Castle, a favourite day-trip destination of many Darnhay guests. Cross by car ferry from Ardrossan Harbour to Brodick on the Isle of Arran and discover Brodick Castle, hiking on Goat Fell, and the Arran whiskey distillery along with scenery-filled walks along the Arran Coastal Way.
You also have access to the cities of Glasgow (45 mins by car) and beautiful Edinburgh (under 2 hours by car) with its Old and New Towns.
Whichever property best meets your requirements and preferences, we look forward to welcoming you to Darnhay.
