We constantly strive to ensure that we offer the highest standards practical. Langside Farm is a member of several tourist organisations and is regularly visited by trained inspectors who carry out a series of thorough and independent checks.

Ayrshire Food Network

Langside Farm is proud to be a member of the Ayrshire Food Network (AFN), an informal network involving artisan food producers and fine food providers who use the best Scottish produce from Ayrshire and Arran.
Like other fine food providers, we aim to use fresh locally produced ingredients wherever possible: our very own vegetable garden will be on-stream later this year, and you can't get fresher or any more local than that.
Another local member of the network is Braidwoods Restaurant, just a few miles away.
Howard Wilkinson, Chairman of AFN says: "Ayrshire is renowned worldwide for the quality of its food. The raw materials available here are exceptional meat and game; fish and shellfish; vegetables including the famous Ayrshire 'tattie' and of course Ayrshire Bacon, Ayrshire cheeses, eggs, smoked delicacies and a whole range of sweets and you can see why we are proud of what we produce."

Special Places to Stay

Publisher Alastair Sawday says that he tries to be THE guide for those looking for warm, very human, interesting people; beautiful buildings; fine old things that, however dilapidated, carry their age and authenticity with dignity; delicious food, much of it grown at home and cooked with devotion; a touch of fun with a touch of class; quirkiness with seriousness, a light touch, an easy style; and finally comfort. He says of Langside Farm "Your hosts' gentle intelligence and humour is reflected in their home - the main part dates back to 1745 - with long views to the east. Inside, a well-proportioned Georgian elegance, fresh contemporary artwork (some Elise's) and a snug Aga kitchen. Deep red sofas, pale striped walls, books and lamps draw you in; pretty bedrooms have a period feel and vary in style. Chat in the kitchen, sit by the fire, make yourselves truly at home."
