Luxury Country Retreats in Ayrshire

Choose your stay with The Tennox Collection, set across exclusive countryside locations in Kilbirnie and Dalry

Distinctive holiday homes across North Ayrshire

The Tennox Collection is a thoughtfully curated group of distinctive holiday homes across North Ayrshire, offering relaxed, high-quality stays in carefully chosen locations. At Tennox Farm in Kilbirnie, the collection includes Tennox Parlour, Tennox Stables, Tennox House and Tennox Boathouse – traditional properties set within a peaceful rural estate. The estate is now home to its newest and most impressive addition, The Coach House, a standout property created for larger, more memorable stays and available to book directly.

The collection also extends to Hillend Farm in Dalry, with Hillend Farmhouse and Hillend Stables, as well as two standalone town-centre homes in Dalry: Apple Tree House and The Old Foundry.

Together, the Tennox Collection offers flexibility, comfort and character – whether you’re seeking a countryside escape, a group gathering space or a convenient village base.

Why Tennox?

Tennox is about more than accommodation – it’s about atmosphere.

Each property in the collection has been restored or styled with care, prioritising space, comfort and a sense of ease from the moment you arrive. Guests choose Tennox for the balance it offers: privacy without isolation, countryside calm without being remote, and homes that feel welcoming rather than staged.

  • Characterful holiday homes in rural and village settings
  • Peace, privacy and space to slow down
  • Comfortable, well-designed interiors
  • Options for couples, families and larger groups
  • A personal, hands-on approach — particularly when booking The Coach House directly

It’s a collection designed for real stays, not rushed weekends.

Just back from a 3 night stay in the Tennox Stables a party of 7 of us were met by a very friendly and helpful memeber of staff. This place is stunning inside and out and so clean. With a well equipped kitchen with everything you need. We loved it so much that on our second night we re booked to go again next year

Wow wow wow what can we say about The Boathouse at Tennox? We booked this stay last year for the end of April this year.whilst driving from Yorkshire to Scotland we received a call giving us access information on getting into Tennox Farm. We were meet by a member of staff who showed us around. What a stunning place this is and the grounds are beautifully kept. The cottage is just so quirky and original. Just everything about this cottage is beautiful. It is one of the nicest places 9for its quirky originality) we have stayed in.when all the lights are on it’s just sparkles. You open the patio doors onto a seating area and the hot tube looking over a little pond and fountain. At night this is just so peaceful. The bad points (and I say this with only helpful criticism in mind) The hot tube only one half of it worked, for us it’s not an issue as there was only the 2 of us. The jacuzzi bath did not work (this I was gutted about as I really wanted to use this feature in the cottage) Daft things like the hangers next to the hot tube all rusted and the patio table being stabilised with bits of wood. The internet dongle was useless (but we had come here not expecting any internet at all) Did ant of this bad points effect our visit? No not in the slightest. The staff were perfect and were even recommending places to visit, my suggestion is Largs such a beautiful place. We visited many places around the area and this location was perfect for us to return to at the end of each day. The local shops and takeaways are just a couple of miles away. Would we visit here again? YES We are planning another visit next year. Would we recommend Tennox Farm to anyone else? YES MOST DEFINITELY WE WOULD. WE LOVED EVERY SECOND OF OUR STAY HERE.

Currently on our last evening at staying in "The Stables" & we have previously stayed in the "The Parlour" at Tennox Farm. 5star for everything. Upon arrival we were shown around the property and given information on how to use hot-tub, fire safety regulations, places to eat and where to go for walks in the area. The Stables itself is glorious, clean, private and spacious enough for the 5 of us & can accommodate 8 if needed with 4 doubles 2 en-suites with baths and a main bathroom. It was immaculate throughout and has access to hoover/iron/washing machine & dishwasher. The Stables is quite private with no other houses on looking when in hot tub or on the balcony. We were lucky with the weather and have visited Largs, Troon and a number of beaches all within 20-30 mins away and also a Lidl, Tescos & smaller shops less than 10 mins away. The car museum is fab as-well as the horses and highland cows on site to visit. We all felt at home and safe here and couldn't recommend enough! Thankyou!

A group of 8 of us stayed at Tennox Stables for 2 nights between Christmas and New Year. Could not recommend this property enough! We wish we could have stayed longer. The photos don’t do it justice - we were blown away by the place. Graham is a star showing us around and is always on hand if needed. There’s a Tesco a 5-10 min drive away which is perfect and the staff kindly leave you a handbook of local restaurant, taxi numbers and things to do nearby. Can’t wait to come back!

Just returned from a 3 night stay at Tennox Farm Stables as a family of 8. Could not find fault if we tried, what an amazing place. Met by the most friendly gentleman and shown round an awesome property. The property was lovely and warm and set out perfectly for entertaining with great living room and kitchen and dinning room. Pictures really don’t do any justice to the property and with the stables and motor museum a short walk plenty to do. Thank you to all at Tennox Farm for making us feel welcome and certainly will be back soon.
