Carnell is believed to date from the 16th Century when the first Towerhouse was built. Since then the house has been extensively modernised and extended so that it is now able to offer superbly comfortable and sophisticated accommodation to discerning guests.
The house is in the middle of some 2000 acres of undulating Ayrshire countryside with fertile pastures, rolling parkland and stunning forestry as well as formal gardens.
