Stunning hotel

Beautiful hotel set in amazing grounds. Staff were so friendly and immaculately dressed. Room was large and well equipped with everything you required for a comfortable stay. Hotel is close proximity to Ayr town centre. Breakfast was exceptional with a great choice and was of great quality products. First time I have been at this hotel but already planning a return trip.
