BELLEISLE

by hevbell - last update: Jun 4, 2006

One of my favourite places in the park is the conservatory. Unfortunately on my last visit there I noticed it was closed due to vandalism which is a great shame.
Conservatory
Inside the conservatory when it was still open. I always loved the smell when you walked in here in summer, all the gorgeous flowers! :)
golf course
There is a municipal [run by the local council] golf course in the grounds behind the house. Not sure what it costs to play but it shouldn't be too bad considering its not private.
baby runny babbits
My other favourite thing in the grounds is the pets corner. I will admit to going along and talking to the animals like a little kid. Seeing all those fluffy wee guinea pigs and rabbits always cheers me up! These were some baby rabbits that were there on my last visit.
Across from the rabbits and guinea pigs [and a chicken called Rod Stewart!] are the two Vietnamese pigs - Morgan & Bubbles. Other animals include peacocks, doves, parrots, chinchillas and possibly some others.
Follw the road passed the house/hotel and you will eventually come across this large enclosure with the deer and also some sheep and donkeys keeping each other company
There is also a walled garden of which this fountain/pond is the main feature. Its always funny to me to see this as we have pictures of my mum as a toddler playing there with her sister!
Belleisle house itself is now a hotel and quite a posh one at that!

 Nice photos but it would be nice if you could say where Ayr is located in the UK. Or did I miss somewhere? Good day.
