"Brilliant stay. The staff were so friendly and kind. The surrounding area is beautiful. The use of the gym, spa, putting and pool facilities is great to have. My room was a little small but this was fine for my solo business stay and had all the required amenities and more (minibar, Nespresso machine, good TV, robe). Breakfast was cooked, not a buffet and was tasty! Will definitely be going back when I’m in the area."

The South Beach Hotel

The South Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"There were 10 of us on a golfing trip for 4 days, 3 nights. The hotel is in the perfect spot to walk to Darley, Lochgreen & Fullarton Golf courses. Alittle further along is Royal Troon, still very walkable. The hotel is also idealy placed to walk into town for a drink or dinner, although the food and drink at the hotel is superb. The staff on the whole are a friendly bunch and very helpful. We did find out that the hotel is due to change ownership and will be closing down for 9 months from October, hopefully to arise fully refreshed. All of us would happily stay here again!"

"The room (and possibly the entire hotel) looked to have been renovated recently? No air conditioning in the room and so it was a bit uncomfortable during the night. We only realised there was an electric fan at the back of the cupboard as we were leaving 🙄. The staff were nice and the parking was plentiful. Well located at the Ayr end of the high street and not too far from the beach. The breakfast was very tasty and they offered a good range. Overall we were very happy with our stay."

"Overall, this wee hotel was excellent. We stayed there 3 nights with my kids. Staffs are outstanding, we had to check in after midnight. After wondering around the pub, bit worried, then call to their number and staff let us checked in. They were extremely helpful and friendly . I am not sure about customer service desk in the pub. Sometimes, bar staffs are little rude .. when hotel guest asks them for anything .. mistakenly! The hotel is in great location, lots of amenities around, lots of parking."

"The room was very small. The bathroom was tiny with nowhere to hang things, not even a toilet roll holder and the floor was quite dirty. However we had a lovely sea view. The staff were great and the breakfast was very good. We ate there, as there wasn’t anywhere else in the immediate vicinity to eat. The food was good. We had onsite parking."
