Not enough time
I didn’t realise it was right beside the racecourse at Ayre. It was a superb venue easy walk into the town plenty of parking and I’m not one for usually promoting weather spoons West Kirk pub in Ayre had been a church and just for a look well worth a visit.

The main hotel with reception is lovely, beautiful fountain outside the main entrance. Lovely staff :-) My room was in a separate more modern building, very clean and fresh but no lift to the first floor where i was located. Very spacious room, good size bathroom with desk space to work. Extra blankets and pillows were available, as was iron and board, and a proper hairdryer!

Great location and the food is second to none
Stayed in one of the annexes just a short walk from the main hotel which overlooks Ayr racecourses. I had a king size bed all to myself and the room was nice and clean and well kept. I ate at the main restaurant and the food was excellent. They even spoilt me with a complimentary amuse bouche which was amazing! Hats off to the chef. The food bill was very reasonable as well for the quality and portion size. Would definitely stay there again.

This property is amazing well kept spacious grounds. Lovely older building (main hotel). Excellent food service and very helpful staff.Walkable to Mill Street shops and a modern Tesco around the corner. Big shout out to Elaine for all her assistance. Would I stay here again? In an instant. Rooms need mini fridges but other than that great place, good location and a memorable stay!

The hotel is ideally located for Ayr and the racecourse. The grounds are lovely and there is a large, free car park. Check in and check out were both warm and efficient. Standard rooms are in the Courtyard area. The room was clean but very dated in terms of its decor. One of the taps in the bathroom was loose and moved. The toilet ran/dripped all night which was disturbing. There was no air conditioning. Breakfast is served in the hotel restaurant. Guests are told to find their own table and serve their own food and drinks from the hot and cold buffet options. The range of hot food was good and included potato cakes and Lorne sausages, and the cold buffet included various melons, yoghurt, many cereals and warmed pastries. There was no choice of cooked/cured meats or cheeses. Tables were left dirty and we observed people being seated at tables that had not been fully cleaned/refreshed.

Lovely stay
Lovely hotel next to the racecourse. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, My father is in a wheelchair and had an accessible room which was well appointed and comfortable. We ate our evening meal in the restaurant and it was excellent and good value. We were there to meet family and we all met up and had morning coffee, all lovely and the lounge area was very good. Perfect for a small reunion and catch up. Thank you
