Information about the host

Whether you're looking for a one night business stopover, a couple of nights to attend a wedding at the Brig O'Doon, or a one week self catering holiday break, Doonbank offers an exclusive, flexible & private accommodation base for you to relax & unwind. Our Bothy is a beautifully presented two storey, one bedroomed detached house. It's very spacious, quiet & peaceful & set within 4 1/2 acres of Doonbank Cottage's secluded private woodland garden. The bothy sleeps two adults. We also have a separate sofa bed; free cot for under 2 & a separate single fold-a-way bed for an under 10 year old. As well as having access to the woodland garden and river, it also has it's own private back garden to relax in. Situated in the picturesque village of historic Alloway in Ayrshire, a 10 min walk to the world famous Brig O'Doon, Burns National Heritage Centre, Brig O' Doon Hotel & Burns Cottage, & on the edge of the main town of Ayr on the west coast of Scotland, the Bothy has glorious views over the idyllic River Doon, which runs for 1/2 mile as the property's eastern boundary, offering excellent opportunities for bird watching & walks. **One (medium sized) dog / pet welcome**

Hi there - I'm Chris and my wife is Susan. We will be delighted to welcome you anytime after 3pm. As a Visit Scotland 4 star accommodation; a 5 star customer rating with AIRBNB; 5 bubbles customer rating with Tripadvisor and 9.9 with Booking dot com. We hope that this demonstrates our commitment to providing great accommodation and and doing what we can to ensure you have a great stay with us. If you are attending a wedding at the Brig O Doon, we are only a 2 minute drive away, so we can give you a free lift there. Just ask. If you need an earlier check-in so that you can get dressed up for the afternoon event - just give us a shout - we can normally accommodate. If you are part of the wedding party, Doonbank is a great location for a BBQ with the wider family, or even a picnic by the river! We also have our own free range chickens and ducks and we also keep honey bees. You can be assured of a warm welcome and we are on hand to help - but sufficiently discrete so to give you space and privacy to relax and unwind.

There is lots to do and see around South Ayrshire and 'our neck of the woods'. Our 4.5 acre woodland garden ends just by the Brig O Doon - so when our national Bard - Robert Burns was writing his 'Banks and brays of bonnie Doon' he could have been sitting on the river bank by us. There is also an adjoining 6 acre public wood accessible via a gate from our garden. Across the river, and about a 10 minute walk away, there is the Cambusdoon Estate, which provides a further 10 acre wood and river. We are also a 3 minute drive from the Ayrshire coastline with wonderful views over to the Isle of Arran (which could be one of your day trips)
