Mossblown has a medical practice, pharmacy, grocery store, take-aways, post office, activity centre, hairdresser and a popular Public House with a restaurant. Two bus routes serve the village, connecting Mossblown with Ayr to the south, Annbank to the east and Tarbolton and New Cumnock to the North. Times vary accordingly but generally two buses per hour allow villagers to commute to Ayr, with its proximity of five miles (eight kilometres) giving villagers access to high street retailers. Prestwick, some 5 miles to the east has a comprehensive range of amenities, including schools, restaurants and bars, transport links to Glasgow and beyond, shops, supermarkets and leisure facilities. Mossblown has a primary school and thriving private day nursery. The school has in recent years been extended to include the village library and sports facilities for the school.

To the rear of the courtyard there is a significant commercial greenhouse which has not been in operation for some years and now requires repair.
