Nice, homely accommodation with lovely breakfast
From the moment we arrived at the guest house until the moment we checked out, the nice lady that hosted us was brilliant. She was always very friendly and helpful and cooked a remarkable Scottish breakfast. The room had everything we needed and was cosy and spotless. We thought it was excellent value for money and would definitely stay again.

The room was very dated and one side of the bed sagged which was uncomfortable, the ensuite was unclean with mildew behind the toilet & shower door however the owner was lovely & could not do enough for you, the breakfast was good too
Great location and parking but wouldn`t stay again.

Neat, clean Guest house short walk from Ayr Beach
Great little find. Had a very reasonably priced single room that suited me. Shared Bathroom was neat and clean but was up a flight of stairs.. Didn't find that an issue.
Not far from the stunning Ayr beach.. see photos below taken the evening I arrived.
Towels and bedding are definitely provided.. some-one had put that they weren't provided on the website I booked with (which did seem weird!). The cooked breakfast was also excellent.

Wonderful stay. Comfy bed and very quiet. I stayed single room with shared bathroom. No issues. Bathroom was spotless. I was not able to have breakfast due to work commitments but it smelt lovely. I would highly recommend and will stay again when in Ayr.

Friendly B&B with an old charm
Julie the host was a lovely lady and very friendly. Nice breakfast, ample street parking. Room has an old charm, but all works well for the stay. Clean toilets. Would recommend and will return if the opportunity arise.

We had a great stay here and the owners are very friendly and a good choice of breakfast. It is very quite location within easy walk to the city center and other amenities. We won the top floor (great views at the rear) but as seen in other comments the last bend of the stair is quite steep and a tadge awkward around the narrow steps. It is definately not a room for those that have knee or hip problems. On arrival we were advised that we should have noted any disability/ joint problems on booking and a more suitable room would have been allocated if available. Unfortunately there is no space for this comment on the booking form when made through this website.
