Ayrshire Rural Retreats

About us

Hi I’m Jessica! We are a family run beef and sheep farm located in East Ayrshire.

We started this venture over 3 years ago with Hazell’s Lodge and Faodail Cottage (now called the hobbit) and due to popular demand we now have four 2 person ‘pods’ and two large houses which are proving very popular for families and groups of friends.

We are both heavily involved in the day to day running of both the Farm and the Holiday accommodation and we have a bunch of Kids so you will likely see us at some point during your stay.

Please feel free to stop and say hello and ask any questions if you have them!

You can follow us on Instagram @ayrshire_rural_retreats or Facebook and TikTok @ayrshireruralretreats
