A little place to feel at home

Thoughtfully restored and lovingly cared for, the cottage is a comfortable base for exploring the South West, walks in the Galloway Forrest and evenings unwinding by the wood-burning stove. Cook something simple in the kitchen, gather around the dining table, then settle into the cosy living room after a day of adventures.

Whether you’re visiting for a change of pace, time outdoors or a chance to reconnect with this corner of Ayrshire, we hope you’ll feel at home from the moment you arrive.

Who are we?

The Cottage at 59 was bought by Iona and Chris in 2022 and lovingly renovated to create a comfortable, welcoming place to stay.

Although they now live in Shetland, Colmonell has long been close to their hearts. The family connection to the village goes back generations, with Chris’s great-grandparents having been married in Colmonell church in the 1930s.

Returning to the village feels like coming home, and we hope our cottage offers the same sense of warmth and belonging to everyone who stays here.
