    We actually got an upgrade on arrival, originally booked Courthouse rooms, we stayed in the main hotel. It is a beautiful building and the interior design is so respectful of the age of the property. Our room was large and spacious and met all our requirements. We had dinner on the first night really good menu with plenty of choice. Breakfast the first morning was table service and buffet the second due to more guests in the hotel.

    A beautiful property, very well equipped, with lovely furnishings and the most gorgeous little garden. And in the best part of town, a fantastic neighbourhood in Ayr. Excellently located for the beach (15 minutes walk away) and town centre. The host was lovely, communicative, made us feel very welcome and made sure we had everything we needed - and the addition of a welcome pack was a generous touch. All in all a brilliant find, and a well deserved 10/10 😊
