A restful stay with very good evening meal.

I had a good stay at the hotel but the room I was in needs some decoration as there was a stain on the carpet and walls need a paint. My evening meal was very good and would recommend m.

We were in Ayr for a family wedding and had arranged to meet family members for dinner so did not have the opportunity to dine in the hotel’s restaurant, however we had breakfast on two occasions and both times the food, service and staff were excellent. Internet access was ok, to was fairly basic and beds were extremely hard and lumpy

Perfect location and seaview

The room was, especially the en-suite in a poor state of repair. No toilet roll holder Toilet didn’t flush properly, did report it but nothing done about it. Bathroom door was split and warped from water damage The edge of the floor next to the skirtings was all worn with gaps which would make cleaning difficult and potentially unhygienic. Ceiling very slopped in bathroom and bedroom so a few bumped heads. Lots of rules pinned up, fine of £30 for clogging toilet with anything other than toilet paper, in the information book in the room it’s £50 Lobby/foyer/restaurant lovely and beautifully decorated. Breakfast amazing Waiting staff couldn’t do enough! Amazing location. I think we were just unlucky with our room, would stay again but not in a loft room

Great location, friendly helpful staff. Exceptional weather pleasant with the window open at night. Bit of noise from a couple of passers by in the street falling out after closing time, but overall I would definitely stay again with my 9 year old son. ❤️
