Charming Coastal Getaway – Laighdykes Guest Cottage

Welcome to Laighdykes Guest Cottage – your cosy coastal retreat just minutes from the sandy shores of Saltcoats Beach on Scotland’s stunning west coast. Whether you're seeking a peaceful escape or a base for exploring Ayrshire, our recently refurbished cottage is the perfect home away from home.

Tucked beside our family home and overlooking a beautiful, enclosed private garden, the cottage blends comfort and style with thoughtful touches throughout. Inside, you’ll find a bright, open-plan living area with a fully equipped kitchen and breakfast bar – ideal for leisurely mornings or relaxed evenings in.

The cottage comfortably sleeps four guests across two inviting bedrooms:

A double bedroom with a private en-suite shower room (please note this is the only bathroom in the property), and

A twin room with two single beds, perfect for friends or little ones.

Please be aware:

There are 2 steps at the entrance to the cottage,

1 step into the double bedroom, and

2 steps into the twin bedroom.

Whether you're enjoying a morning coffee in the garden, strolling down to the beach, or exploring local gems like Arran, Largs, and Ayr, Laighdykes Guest Cottage is your welcoming base for a memorable getaway.

We can’t wait to host you!

Excellent little house, ideally situated for exploring Ayrshire.

Very clean and well maintained property. Well furnished and equipped. Our only quibble was that the bathroom was actually en-suite with the main bedroom so with elderly people requiring a toilet during the night there was an element of intrusion. However, we were all family and coped. There is also a small step in that main bedroom that our more elderly family initially found problematic so anyone booking should be aware. Otherwise, this was an excellent base for exploring Ayrshire. There are also some very good restaurants eg Oscars and Curry On The Corner. We were fortunate to have clear skies and sunshine for our whole trip and were able to take advantage of the lovely garden in the late afternoons.when we returned from trips.
