Recent Reviews in Ayr

The Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"The Townhouse bed & breakfast was beautiful and welcoming the moment we walked up to the beautiful garden. The wife and husband hosts were fantastic, the room was elegant and cozy. The made to order breakfast was 5 star, prepared by the owner who is a professional chef. Only wished we had spent more time in the beautiful B&B."

Eglinton Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Warm welcome, and helpful staff. Hb Located in a quiet area off the centre of Ayr. Very clean and comfortable stay. Full amenities. Good breakfast. Coop supermarket a short walk away near the bus station. Would recommend to others."

Horizon Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Whoever said this hotel was a little gem wasn’t exaggerating. Brilliant value for money and staff , especially in the restaurant, couldn’t do enough for us. Great location right beside the beach so we enjoyed a walk after our meal."

Abbotsford Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was immaculate, the staff were very welcome and accommodating. We stayed in the Whiskey room, it was absolutely stunning. I had the best sleep I’ve had in a long time. We spent time in the bar where the drinks are reasonably priced. There are lots of different options for breakfast, made to order as well as continental options. The hotel also has free onsite parking. We were very happy with our stay, wish we had booked more than one night."

Savoy 5

8/10 Good

"Good breakfast. Rooms were small but adequate, good ceiling fan."

Beechwood Ensuite Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely clean, comfortable ensuite room. They have thought of everything. I would highly recommend this product"

Western House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"What a fantastic hotel! We were greeted by a lovely gentleman who showed us to reception. We had a nice clean room with a very comfortable bed . We had a lovely evening dinner served by friendly knowledgeable staff . Breakfast also was excellent If we are back in the area we will definitely stay again . Right next to the racecourse too."

Carlton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room (and possibly the entire hotel) looked to have been renovated recently? No air conditioning in the room and so it was a bit uncomfortable during the night. We only realised there was an electric fan at the back of the cupboard as we were leaving 🙄. The staff were nice and the parking was plentiful. Well located at the Ayr end of the high street and not too far from the beach. The breakfast was very tasty and they offered a good range. Overall we were very happy with our stay."

The Kylestrome Hotel

8/10 Good

"We’re 76 and 71 years old. The property, while nice, does not have a lift. Very difficult for us to schlep our suitcases up three flights of stairs. It’s a “contactless” hotel, which worked out fine. No issues with access. The restaurant in front of the property, while not part of the hotel, was very nice and offered a discount to hotel guests."
