Turnberry - all over the world the name instantly conjures up firstly, the legendary golf course, and secondly, the world famous hotel which overlooks it, the outline of which is familiar from countless photographs and pictures.
Now there is another reason to come to this golfing mecca - The Turnberry Apartment. Situated in a spacious, peaceful and very elegant complex just half a mile from the golf course, this first floor apartment offers luxurious self-catering accommodation for four people. Surrounded by lawns and woodland, with ample parking in front of the door, and a secure entry system, the light, bright and beautifully appointed apartment is an ideal base for golfers or simply for those who wish to relax and explore this most attractive and fascinating area of Scotland.
Here, you are just half an hour from the international airport at Prestwick, while train services run every 30 minutes from nearby Ayr (all facilities) to the centre of Glasgow.
Royal Troon, another name that will resound with golfers, is 25 miles away. There is also a huge marina there and superb beaches, where you can kitesurf. In fact there are lovely sandy beaches all along this coast, perfect for long leisurely walks. Other attractions include trout fishing in the Ayr, and horse riding. From Ardrossan (35m), you can take a day trip over to the lovely island of Arran.
Ayr is, of course, right in the centre of Burns Country and there are many interesting sites connected with the poet to visit round about. Dramatic Culzean Castle, the top floor of which was gifted to President Eisenhower in 1945, is also well worth a visit.
Bed linen and towels, gas central heating and electricity are INCLUDED. Sorry, no pets.
