Golfing friends
We had 4 couples who stayed for a week and traveled the area to play golf. It was a wonderful home with updated facilities and beautiful surrounds. We enjoyed watching golf in the library together, playing snooker and just walking though the gardens. The location was amazing for all the west coast courses. It could easily accommodate 8 couples if you have that large of traveling group. The staff was there everyday to clean and provide fresh towels and make the beds. We lite a fire every morning and enjoyed our morning coffee.

Wonderful stay!
We had a small family wedding here and it was fabulous thanks to the location and the staff. The house is beautiful and spacious with fabulous grounds. Troon is a short drive away with beautiful beaches. Would highly recommend this property for a small special event or just a relaxing get together.

Hillhouse was built in 1780 by the McKerrell family who owned the land for over 300 years. The Thorneycroft Vernon family bought the house in 1903, adding the East wing which doubled the size of the house. Over the last 12 years the house has been lovingly and sympathetically restored by the Vernon family to allow us to offer 5 star accommodation and service to our guests while they enjoy the history and ambience of the house along with its modern conveniences.
