About this cottage rental
Welcome to Tig Cottage, your peaceful retreat in beautiful South Ayrshire! Nestled in the tranquil hamlet of Heronsford, this charming cottage offers the perfect base for families looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
INSIDE THE COTTAGE
Step into a cozy home-away-from-home where modern comfort meets countryside charm. The living room invites you to unwind after a day of exploring, with two comfortable sofas gathered around an electric stove-effect fire - all the charm of a traditional log burner with none of the work! The Smart TV comes equipped with streaming services - perfect for family movie nights.
The separate dining room offers a lovely space for family meals, with a table that seats four, a comfortable reading chair, and a selection of books and board games for evening entertainment.
The kitchen, though compact, is well-equipped with everything you need for holiday cooking, including a coffee machine and quality pots and pans. Upstairs, peaceful nights await in two bedrooms - one with a comfortable double bed, the other with twin single beds, perfect for children or friends. The modern family bathroom (on the ground floor) features both a bath and separate shower, plus toilet and sink.
A NATURE LOVER'S PARADISE
Your garden is a delightful spot where you might spot visiting wildlife - from cheerful birds to curious rabbits. As evening falls, watch for pipistrelle bats playing in the twilight sky. The Water of Tig flows behind the cottage (note: the garden has steep steps to the water, so please supervise children).
One of Tig's most magical features reveals itself after dark - thanks to our wonderfully dark skies, on clear nights you can often see the Milky Way stretching overhead. It's an unforgettable experience for children and adults alike!
PERFECT FOR DOGS
We love welcoming four-legged family members! Your dog will find comfortable beds and bowls waiting, along with special treats to start their holiday right. We provide dog towels and cleaning supplies for muddy paw emergencies. While the garden isn't fully enclosed, there are wonderful walks right from your doorstep.

"Great cottage, great location very pet friendly , only drawback if I'm being picky is that the double bed would be better if upgraded to a king/super king by time dogs get in the bed humans end up on ..."
