Rooms have excellent sound proofing. Front of house and restaurant teams were excellent. Because of wedding breakfast was a buffet rather than table service but not too much of a problem. Only slight gripe was ventilation in the bathroom whereby shower steam made it virtually impossible to see and had the impact of setting off in room fire alarm - however all dealt with quickly and by friendly staff. Great parking and lovely hotel

Open Golf
Chose hotel based on reviews and location for the Open Golf. Understood prices were inflated. Stayed in the annexe building which is ok but not as nice as the hotel itself but the bedroom was nice. Breakfast was one of the best we’ve had and the staff at breakfast were lovely. Right next to Ayr Racecourse. Would definitely stay again

Even though we were early we were made to feel welcome. Our bags were looked after as we had a walk round the town. When we returned our room was ready. I was there for a visit and a funeral and the arrangements were very good and the staff very helpful.

Going back decades, my late mother was Head Cook at Western House - so it was a bit of a pilgrimage .. and yes, a privilege to return as a hotel guest when I happened to be back in Ayr. A delightful room on the edge of but very close to the centre of town and situated on the side of Ayr Racecourse. In every way, the place ticks the boxes, offers impressive value for money - and full marks to the kitchen and dining room staff: the cuisine is fresh, prepared and presented with care - and, all in all, top notch 👍

Room was spacious and i was on a low floor in the annexe part which was easy for me . Drinks are reasonable for the hotel.didnt have food so cannot comment on that. The bed was very comfortable to use.and tea and coffee were provided. So close for the racecourse and enjoed wayching the horses being drpped off for the races. Definitely a returning trip to here worthwhile
