View on Google MapsPhoto: rabbie donoghue
Couples and small families will find Chaff House works well for a week away, with two bedrooms, one bathroom and space for four people across a single ground floor. The open-plan living area has a smart TV and dining space; the kitchen is equipped for proper cooking with electric oven and hob. One bedroom has a zip-and-link super king bed (or twin singles), the other a single bed. Electricity, heating, wi-fi and all bed linen are included. There's a travel cot and highchair if needed, and a welcome pack on arrival.
The property sits on a working farm outside Darvel in rural Ayrshire, with one dog welcome at no extra charge. From here you can walk or cycle straight into Whitelee Forest and the UK's largest windfarm, with more than 130 kilometres of trails. The owners keep resident goats, alpacas and ponies, and can arrange rides or animal sessions separately. A private hot tub overlooks the garden, which has decking, a firepit and BBQ. Two cars can park on site. Galloway Forest Park lies 30 minutes away, and the coast at Ayr, Prestwick and Troon is within easy reach for seaside days or trips to Arran. No smoking is permitted.

The few days we stayed at The Hayloft were just what we needed. Really comfortable accommodation, well equipped with everything you could need. The boys were more than helpful, even lending us their Bluetooth speaker when ours died, so we could continue listening to tunes by the fire. Hopefully we can return again sometime.

We had a great few days. The cottage has everything you need and more. Angela is very welcoming. The welcome pack of prosecco and treats was a lovely bonus. Views from the hot tub were superb. Plenty of walks for the dog too. Looking forward to staying again.

Brilliant place. From the second we arrived we were made to feel welcome. Lovely accommodation and hosts are fantastic. We enjoyed the place but had to leave a day early due to work. The hayloft is lovely but worth noting the hot tub area is across the yard. Not a problem as its yarded off and looks great but if you can get the other cottage worth paying the extra for as the hot tub is accessed directly. The cat, the dogs and the horses are all lovely and Angela's sons are lovely too. Great place and I think if we ever pop back in that area we will be back, just hope its less rainy 🤣. Thanks so much for a lovely week. P.s - the bed is massive and really comfy and the location is great for stargazing. Ooh and the hosts left us some sweets, crisps and a bottle of prosecco. They also have the towels, toiletries and everything you could need. Really made up with the place and have gone home relaxed and happy. Amy and Ryan

Just got home from a week’s stay in The Hayloft and it couldn’t have been better. Scenic views all around, a friendly and welcoming family, and resident pets made the stay fantastic! The hot tub is a lovely luxury, and The Hayloft was well equipped for 2 adults and our dog, with extras for the dog in case we forgot, and a goody basket for the adults. We will definitely be returning for a peaceful break again, away from the hustle and bustle!
