"We were given a spa voucher as a present and decided to treat ourselves and book in for the night. We were not disappointed. This hotel is worth its 5 star rating and more. The spa was lovely, especially the view over the golf course and out to the Ailsa Craig. The hotel was quite quiet due to the time of year so we were lucky to be upgraded to a suite. (That never happens to me!) The room was spotless and the staff were very attentive without being too overbearing. We started off saying that this would be a one off but are already making arrangements to return for longer. "

"A clean, comfortable, nicely decorated and well maintained place. It was very quiet even though in a very central part of town. In fact ideal location.i didn't drive there but parking is Easy too. Easy walking distance to bus terminal, shore front walk and all the shops you could need. Very nice couple who run it and brilliant breakfast with lots of tea or coffee."

"Very friendly staff. Food really good. Room spotless and comfortable. Would stay there again. "

"Our family kg 4 had a wonderful stay and we were delightfully surprised by the friendliness and fun activities we found during our overnight. The pool was fine if not a bit chilly but was offset by the warm hot tub. We enjoyed getting dinner in the Curling Club’s bar and kids had fun watching a match! Breakfast was good, cold buffet was maybe a little basic but the hot to-order items made up for it and the staff were kind and helpful. Our room had just been renovated and was perfect for our family and pet. There were thoughtful extras like bath robes and slippers and 2 tvs! The only downside was the shower in our room had such low pressure (barely a stream!) and was cold so I could only opt for a bath. Luckily the kids and my husband had showered at the pool. For one night it was fine but maybe wouldn’t want to be stuck without a shower for more than that. Other than the shower everything else was great. "

"The hotel was undergoing some refurbishment and we had difficulty getting in. Eventually a guest told us to ring a bell at the side of one of the doors in the foyer of the side entrance to speak to the proprietor. Also we had trouble getting the TV to work as only the Sky box worked but no instructiins on how to connect it to the right channel. "

"Lovely. My boyfriend actually proposed here. Perfect spot. "

"Excellent in every respect. Superbly friendly with a responsive and caring host. Room first class with comfortable beds & ample towels. Lovely setting. High class food. Only minor issue is breakfast is only served after 08.30 - not ideal if you want an early start."
