Fairfield House - Ayr

Fairfield House - Ayr

8/10 Good
"When we arrived early, Nicola at reception checked if our room was ready and got us booked in and up to the room ahead of check in time. This helped massively as we were going to a party. The breakfast was excellent and the only criticism was that the property needs a bit of TLC. The water temperature fluctuated a bit in the shower and the fans were a little noisy but overall a good stay."
