I really enjoyed my stay. The breakfast was amazing and Julie & Wilson are very welcoming. The breakfast routine is simple, pick a time, what you want to eat and prepare to be wowed. The bed was very comfy and little touches like hot chocolate in the room, very much appreciated. I used the hotel as a base for my exploration of the west coast.

Lovely owners, delicious breakfast and great living room space with Sky Sports. Only downside was the layout of my particular bathroom, which didn’t have much legroom when you were sat on the toilet.

Beautiful Guest House

Beautiful guest house just a couple of minutes from the long sandy beach in Ayr. Fantastic location for walking and just a few minutes to the town center. Our room was pristine, it even had its own small fridge, with a bottle of chilled water and fresh milk. The room also has a microwave. There's a choice of cooked breakfast, which was just perfect.

Very quiet. New room. Excellent value

Stayed with a colleague in a twin room. The room appeared to be recently refurbished. Fresh milk provided in a fridge, much nicer than uht cartons. The room is absolutely silent. Nice heavy door, good windows. That's the most important thing for me as I hate noise when I need to sleep. Couldn't hear a thing even though we were next to the breakfast room.
