Enjoyed our stay at this hotel over the Christmas period. Very modern hotel and beautifully decorated. Room was tastefully decorated and bed was very comfortable. Tea, coffee and biscuits supplied. Breakfast was plentiful, buffet continental and full Scottish breakfast. We recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Really nice hotel. Just stayed 1 night but room was lovely (we had a slight upgrade with a massive comfy bed). Room was clean with modern decor. Super friendly staff and a lovely breakfast included. Zero complaints but if you have any mobility issues be mindful that your room might have a shower over the bath rather than a walk in.

Not great, not terrible

Not great value for money. Room was next to the building heating vent and was noisy while the room was not in great condition (e.g. tiles broken and the toilet could be felt to move)

Would not stay again

Plug in the bath was broken, the shower was falling off the wall. Hot water forbthe bath did not work. Ibwoukd rather sleep in a hammock in the middle of Ayr Race Course than sleep here. Staff just coukd not be arsed at all. Dont even bother with the breakfast its not worth the money. Irs weatherspoons just with a it of class.

One night stopover - just what i needed ;)

I had a one night stay as i travelled down the coast on my motorcycle. Room was big, bed was big/comfy, bathroom was big, tv was big, window was big. Room was pleasant/dull. Shower was in bath tub, so a bit low for tall ppl. Breakfast was included - very good, plenty of choice. Nice pleasant atmosphere. Carparking and free wifi.
