Brunston Castle

Headed down for a midweek break - Monday to Friday. Fortunately, the weather was dry and we enjoyed many wonderful walks during our stay. The lodge was very cosy and well-maintained. Beds so comfortable. Hot tub - heavenly. All the staff were so welcoming and quick to sort any issues. We used the swimming pool and sauna and were the only 2 in- it was very quiet and felt like it was our own personal pool. We shopped at the little Morrisons which had all we needed and was within easy walking distance. The bus to Ayr and Girvan/Stranraer also leaves regularly from Morrisons. A wonderful place to explore the beauties of Ayrshire from.

The countryside around Brunston Castle is very attractive with lots of walks and hikes to do, and more castles than you can count. The kitchen is fully equipped, which is just as well as there are not many restaurants around. You must have a car when you stay here to appreciate the local beauty.

We visited Brunston Castle as a family to celebrate a birthday & had 2 lodges. They were beautiful and very spacious, and they had everything you needed for a break away. The staff were all lovely and very helpful and nothing was a problem. The facilities on site were great too. We visited the bar area once we were checked in where the boys made use of pool table & the kids went swimming. We also ordered pizzas to take away & have in the lodges one evening. We simply phoned from the lodge to order & went down and collected them. At the entrance to Brunston Castle, there is a Morrisons store that you can pop along to if you need anything, which was quite handy. There are lots of places nearby to visit too & we travelled the short distance to Maybole and Girvan on different evenings for dinner.

We were celebrating our LOs birthday and had a fabulous time. We went out of season but staff made us feel very welcome and we enjoyed every minute. The lodges are well equipped and very clean and spacious. The photos are a true representation of what’s there. I unfortunately didn’t take many other than the pool from bar area. It was a cosy bar area and very well laid out. The facilities were good. We did intend to use the gym but forgot our gear rushing after work to get there. But the pool and sauna was adequate for what it was. Given the time of year it would be advisable to keep your heating on and a window open to let house breathe and prevent dampness but other than that it was excellent. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back for a peaceful break.

Lodges are like villas, we were pleasantly surprised as how big ours was inside. Very clean & comfortable. The cafe bar was lovely too & on a sunny day we sat outside while the boys played. We used the pool & sauna everyday and played table tennis. The gym has everything you need & all the equipment seems new. We had a lovely week at Brunston Castle and will definitely book again. Thank you!

We have just had such a lovely, relaxing week at Brunston Castle. The lodge and facilities were immaculately clean and comfortable. My children enjoyed the play park, swimming pool and pool table. The setting was lovely with lots of lovely walks and things to do nearby. We really enjoyed a walk to the local castle ruins, Turnberry lighthouse and a walk along Maidens beach into Culzean Castle. We would thoroughly recommend and hope to visit again soon.
