1. Glenapp Castle

Girvan

"We had a lovely stay at the Castle - the room was beautiful as was the food. The staff in the restaurant and those who welcomed us were amazing. Only disappointment was on check out we asked the history of the castle and were told by a very disinterested staff member to "look it up online"! We thought they would have been very proud to talk about the history and when it was built etc. Other than that we loved it!"

Top Ayrshire Hotel Reviews

Marine Troon

8/10 Good

"Staff very helpful. Gave us an upgrade."

Seamill Hydro Hotel & Resort

8/10 Good

"The staff including the ones in the salon are wonderful, friendly and helpful. Best meal and drinks I had in a long time in the orangery restaurant including breakfast. The beach and views were spectacular. Will definitely go back there again. Unfortunately, the shower in our room did not work but discovered this too late after breakfast and before checking out."

Piersland House

8/10 Good

"Was very disappointed at the lack of grab rails beside the bath. Surprised health and safety did not pick that up. I could not have got in and out of the bath had my husband not been able to help me. I am not disabled but it was scary not having a couple of grab rails. There is a lack of towel rails. Plenty of space at the foot of the bath for a couple of rails. I like to dry myself off a little before getting out. The lack of somewhere to lay toiletries was disappointing. There is space for a couple of shelves to the right of the basin. I don’t like having to lay things on the floor. Robert and Alice Jack"
