Will certainly not be returning

Location and quietness

Unfortunately this place was grossly overpriced for the state it was in. It was obviously occupied when paying guests are not there as the cupboards had personal items in. The cleanliness left a lot to be desired such as the kitchen sink was dirty, the bathroom skirting board was dirty, cobwebs behind the door and in the window. The remains of someone’s takeaway was in the microwave. Far too much clutter everywhere and not a clear surface anywhere. The bathroom cabinet could not be used as there were personal belongings in it. The bedding left a lot to be desired. If this is used in between paying guests then it should be stated in the write up and the cost of it adjusted. Such a shame as the location was brilliant.

It was a lovely and relaxing space to spend the night to celebrate an anniversary. There was no one else around only the fields and occasional cow which was exactly what we were looking for, a peaceful stay in the countryside. The cabin itself was the epitome of cosiness and we were also greeted with some wine and shortbread, as well as a lovely space to spend the evening. Communication with Rachel, the host was easy and answered any questions we had. Would definitely return again and can’t recommend enough. :)

Disappointed stay!

Rural location.

So disappointed with our stay after reading previous reviews. The cabin is in a great location with fabulous views, but that’s about it. The cabin was dark and dirty. The oven had not been cleaned as there was still chips in the pan from previous guests! The bathroom was dirty, hairs and dust on the floor and the shower was not very hot. Cobwebs in the corner of the window, lights and ceiling. Definitely not worth the cost. Such a shame, as with a bit of money spending on it, it could be perfect!

Wonderful rural location

It is a beautiful rural location with plenty of outdoor sitting space. The sitting room has windows all round so if there is any sunshine, it steams through the windows.

There is no getting away from the fact, the cabin is "cosy". The kitchen has limited preparation space and the double bed is squeezed into the bedroom with little room to slide down either side. Whilst I can understand being asked to leave used towels in a basket, I was somewhat disconcerted to be requested to strip the bed as well. Perhaps this is a left-over from the post covid arrangements. Tricky location - the map shown on the booking.com printout is very misleading.

Beautiful, peaceful and an absolute gem of a get away

This really feels like home from the moment you arrive. It's so peaceful and beautiful, ideal for a chilled night in front of the fire whilst watching the stars through the patio doors, the views are incredible and the host is wonderful, so helpful and welcoming,providing us with local information from where to find food to the best walks in the local area. The decor in the cabin itself is just stunning and really feels like a wee Scottish hoose!then of course with chickens and cows as neighbors you don't have to go far to see the wild life!

That we didn't book for longer! We will certainly be back soon

Stayed 2 nights for a weekend getaway and couldn't have asked for more. Main house is close by but cabin itself is completely private with its own driveway and deck facing out into uninterrupted countryside. Nearby Tesco (5 minute drive) for food and plenty of pots/pans/utensils for cooking. We spent our Saturday going to Boswells Coach House for lunch (recommend) and walking up to the ruins of Auchinleck Castle and down to the Lugar Water gorge, a wonderful walk but steep. Nearby Dumfries House is a must visit too! You'll need a car to enjoy the area, but we could've happily spent 2 days in the cosy Big Bear Cabin itself. Perfect for some peace!

Room for improvement

Pretty little cabin

This place is considerably overpriced for what it offers. While it's undeniably a nice and clean location, there wasn't even water in the fridge or any snacks available, which is unusual for a stay of this cost. The overall atmosphere left much to be desired. Additionally, it felt like an unnecessary burden to be responsible for tasks like separating the trash and changing the bedsheets and towels. These are basic amenities that should be provided without guests having to worry about them. In conclusion, while the cleanliness and appearance of the place were satisfactory, the pricing and host's approach weren’t great.

Comfortable, lovely host, fantastic location and private. We will look to return!

Great peaceful location in a private and cosy wood cabin looking out to lovely distant views. Everything worked as it should and we enjoyed meeting Rachel, the host who handed us keys and talked us through a few things.

A few utensils were not very clean and there was dust behind doors (i.e. bathroom) and in some cupboard areas. The rooms felt a bit cluttered; as much as it is nice to have some personality in a place (opposed to stark/clinical), we felt there were too many ornaments and other items. We loved the place but visually it felt a little crowded.

Every few dozen Airbnb stays you may come across a gem. This is one of them. The cabin is super warm and cosy. The location is perfect. Just remote enough so you can relax but still easy to drive to shops and restaurants while exploring the area. Rachel was very friendly and welcoming. She gave us plenty suggestions of things to do in the area and even a little welcome basket with fresh eggs from her chickens and a nice bottle of wine. We hope to be back very soon!

Bear cabin was, as it said in the description, remote and peaceful, so remote you only get so far with the postcode before you need final directions!! But that's its beauty, tucked away from main roads, traffic and all the hustle and bustle. We arrived slightly late due to the weather conditions but Rachel, the host, was at the cabin to greet us and fill us in on everything and offer her local knowledge for all our needs. The cabin itself was charming and cosy, nice decorative touches throughout and spotlessly clean. It is far enough out the way that you have uninterrupted views over the fields and hills but you are close enough to local shops and places to visit. Again Rachel was on hand to offer plenty of suggestions for places to go regardless of what your looking to do. Considering we booked this so close to our arrival date I think this was a great find and we were lucky to get it. Can't recommend it highly enough.

It was magical, a beautiful cabin in stunning countryside.

The cabin was a beautiful haven, so comfortable and cosy. The hosts had thought of every thing to make it so. The view from the porch was stunning and by night gave a superb view of the stars and moon. Quite magical! Though hard to tear oneself away from the cabin, there is lots to explore and experience in the surrounding countryside in Ayrshire and also nearby Dumfriesshire. Wish I could have stayed longer!

There was nothing, it was a lovely place, location and stay.
