Very helpful staff, all round the hotel, from check-in to departure. Clean tidy room serviced daily. Breakfast buffet was very good - lot of choice. Dining rooms were very clean. Evening menu was decidedly 'lacking' something. Choicve was very limited & very fish biased. One evening meal disappointed me greatly. Not as described on the menu. However, on discussing it with reception, the matter was fully resolved. Overall, a good stay & I would return to the hotel, but hope that by then the menu might have changed

Good hotel

Lovely place, good quality. Just two points 1) signage in car park and to reception needs to be improved 2) breakfast was slow coming, and if delay was due to kitchen being busy it would have been nice to know as we felt as if forgotten

Stayed over a busy weekend of Horse Racing, with Ayr Racecourse directly accessible. Stayed within the hotel, as opposed to the courtyard. Big room, bug bathroom, had a substantial breakfast and chose to dine on the Friday night. Found the dining experience to be excellent. Staff are top notch too, very friendly with nothing too much trouble for the team. Top marks
