Family time away
4.5/5 Upfront Reviews - June 2022
13 of us went to Culzean house for a family birthday celebration. We had a lovely time, the house was very well equipped with everything that we needed. The weather was not great but that didn't stop us from enjoying the hot tub or the sauna every day. The house was a bit further out from shops than we realised so be prepared with all of your shopping in advance so that you don't have to do the 15/16 Mile drive into the town. We had no phone signal at all and with 6 youngsters was a bit frustrating for them although the up side to that was that we had brilliant family time, just being together and playing board games or reading. There were local activities nearby, like quad biking, archery and clay pigeon shooting, however because of the weather, we did not venture out to these activities. The area is stunning with amazing walks and wildlife, a lot of our party enjoy walking and despite the weather were still able to enjoy the local walks together. We had a great time together and would recommend Culzean House to anyone who wants to enjoy some family/ friends time together. The family who own the house were lovely and despite a bereavement, still came to check on the hot tub every day. A brilliant family holiday xx

Our family had a lovely weekend at Culzean House. This started with a warm welcome and introduction to the facilities from the owner. The property is beautiful, lots of room for us all. It was so clean and well equipped, a real home from home. We all enjoyed the luxury of the hot tub and the sauna. I would highly recommend Culzean House for a real getaway from it all.

Rental of property was easy. Owner was very friendly and showed us around and ensured we knew how to work everything and knew where everything was. He was also very kind and left us some cakes as part of my birthday celebration. Overall lovely place to stay and the facilities are good with the hot tub and sauna.
