Family fun

Visit Scotland awarded


There are lots of things for families to do.  !!!!!

There are many walks, both in the immediate area, local, and further a field, that will suit any level of ability, and length of time you wish to walk. The Irvine Valley (the area around Loudounhill) has 11 documented walks, ranging from The William Wallace Path (1/3 of a mile - right on your doorstep!) to the Irvine Valley Trail which is around 9.5 miles.
There is a beach in Irvine (next to the Magnum Centre) and a much larger one in Ayr, which has an outside adventure play area next to it. Loudounhill can be climbed (Quite a challenge !).
There is also a children's pond at the Regal fishery, just along the road from the Lodge. There is also the Dean Castle Country Park in Kilmarnock which has something for everyone. The Heads of Ayr Farm Park is a must for children and has animals and quad bikes along with many other things to keep everyone entertained.
Sundays usually see a Moto X, cars or bikes, at a local farm.
We also have two family theme parks within a short car journey from the Lodge. Loudoun Castle Theme Park (Galston) and M & D's Theme Park (Hamilton), where you can expect hours of fun.
There is also a dry ski slope in Newmilns and a full 'snow experience' in Escape in Glasgow, if you fancy something a little different.
For the rainy days there is a small leisure centre, with swimming pool in Strathaven, and a superb Water Palace in Hamilton and lots of soft play areas etc. Suitable for all ages.
There are also cinemas, shops, and 10 pin bowling in Hamilton, East Kilbride and Kilmarnock (30 minutes drive) and Ayr (50 minutes drive).
Boat trips are proving to be very popular with our guests, to the Isle of Arran and Ailsa Craig ( a dormant volcano arising from the sea). You can also take a boat trip to Millport, and hire bikes, and cycle the 10 miles round the island !!! (If it helps - Mull is almost flat !!)
And so much more !!  Detailed information within the lodge on all activities and days out.
