"Wonderful quirky and homely guest house that really felt like ‘home’ and we were made to feel incredibly welcome from arrival.
The street scene was beautiful and we parked super easy.
We stayed in the small double with the bathroom across the landing. Not for the prude, who prefer discretion, but we found it perfectly fine and a fun experience dodging guest movements up and down the stairway when using the bathroom. It is key locked, so no one else can use. Quite tight; I am 6ft 2in and found...
"The entrance to the reception and immediate surrounding grounds were beautiful and immaculate.
The additional buildings were not so nice, big standard harling walls.
All staff with the exception of one waitress (who was rude) were all amazingly friendly and helpful. There was a family wedding the weekend after we left so the owners were painting various areas (which did not cause any distress) so I’m not sure what the shared areas were like before that.
The food was also fantastic albeit...
"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."
"Lovely staff very helpful few issues on arrival apparently Expedia and the hotel had not communicated properly. We didn't like staying in the Gatehouse room...it was dark, the spare room was quite scary thank goodness we didn't use it. My man was so looking forward to a nice bath and jacuzzi but hey ho...the jacuzzi didn't work. Nice breakfast. Won't stay here again though."
"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."
"Friendly helpful staff, clean room slightly tired, excellent breakfast with quality sausages and bacon!
Friday and Saturday nights can be quite loud outside the hotel being a city centre location."
"Loved here my room was facing onto the sea and beach front.
Very clean and well decorated, plenty of towels in bathroom which was also very clean, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, handwashing ans body lotion/ hand cream provided.
Swimming pool area was very clean robes were provided changing area was spotless. There weren’t sny bags for put our wet swimsuits but that was the only fault.
Receptionist helped me with a loan of an I phone charger - forgotten mine very grateful to her....
"We enjoyed our 3 night stay in Irvine.The studio was excellent. There was plenty parking in the area and shops not to far away. We would not hesitate to return."
"The hotel was marvellous. We were there for a wedding and everything was fantastic including the breakfast next morning.
I'll never use Expedia again as I thought I had booked a suite but they actually booked us into the lodge, which is very nice but my wife has difficulty walking and the lodge was well away from the main hotel. Also. It separated us from the rest of the party."
