Comfortable room, decent breakfast, a short walk into town; all in all, a very pleasant place to stay and I'd definitely use again if I'm in Ayr.
Anthony
Very quiet location but very close to harbour and town centre. Good breakfast.
Gordon
Traditional Scottish guest house run by a lovely lady. Fantastic cooked breakfast. Very well situated for Ayr Town centre.
Wendy
The breakfast was good & she managed gluten free bread for my husband who is celiac. Bathroom was cramped, but bed comfy and walking distance to restaurants.
Michelle
It was like home from home environment, visiting family. The hose/owner was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay there again. I stayed In a single room which was just right and a shared bathroom. TV, single bed, wardrobe, sink and mirror, along with tea and coffee facilities. Breakfast was delicious.
Linda
We liked everything about it.the host was lovely and the breakfast was first class.
Nigel
Beautiful row of houses. Close to beach. Parking available outside property on quiet street. Basic room with sink, shared toilet and shower. Nice warm room. Tv, tea, coffee and biscuits. Comfy bed.
Bathroom was on another floor, up squeeky stairs. But ok. Breakfast wasn't till 8.30 which is a bit late for me. I was on the road by 7.30. Great value for money.

Double room (not huge) with ensuite shower / toilet. Towels provided.
Room was 3rd floor (tight stairs) . Very clean , nice hot shower. Breakfast was delicious with masses of toast.
Paid £162 via a booking site (tried to book direct but was dearer -work that out...) for a 2 night stay -that's £81 each for room and breakfast -bargin. 4minute walk to a spoons pub !

Graham
For a single traveler, requiring a budget, no frills stay, this was excellent.
The location is very good, between the town and the promanade, and situated in a very nice residential area.
The room was on the top floor, acessed by a steep, tight staircase, so wouldn't reccomend it for anyone with mobility problems.
Typical guesthouse, the breakfast was very good and freshly cooked, which sets you up for the day.
Yes, the room was basic and dated, but it had everything that you need and was clean and comfy, so was very happy and will definitely stay there again.

Unique older house. You must be able to navigate narrow stairs
Love hot water and gracious friendly host.

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.
Anne
Julia accommodated an early breakfast for us both days of our stay. Food was well cooked and tasty.
Anne
First time stay and would highly recommend it. Friendly homely feel about the property.

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.
Amina
Within walking distance of everything! The beach is two blocks away and so quiet. The staff is very friendly and attentive. And breakfast is filling.
Nichola
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.

Room very dated, papered ceiling ripped, furniture old i didnt mind but all peeling on top , inside wardrope on back wall looked as if it has water Mark's, had to hang clothes out side of wardrope.Beds were ok clean enough, carpet hadnt been hoovered, toilet was basic felt as if i was in a caravan as same style all plastic, only there one night and was out most of it, breakfast cant fault,friendly couple that own it and a woman helping with breakfast.but for a family room ours wasnt a good room.. Not worth the £98.00 we already paid in advance of coming, im sorry for this review dont know what rest of rooms are like did check reviews before booking and a lot of good ones.. but room 2 try and miss if booking.i did take photos but not putting up.

Lovely guest house in an excellent location in Ayr walkable to the beach and town...Julie is a lovely host and cooks a tasty breakfast...Very cosy and homely i enjoyed my stay here.
Gordon
Not for us in Ayr
Stayed for a couple of nights was given a room on 3 floor last flight of stairs was very tight corner could on carry 1 bag at a time to be safe,room very tight for space and dated door to the bathroom was very hard to open so if you got up through the night you woke your partner with the noise pulling it open, heat in room was very bad and had to try to sleep with room and bathroom windows pushed wide open so the lone dog from the neighbourhood could be heard until the early hours until the gulls took over at dawn, so not the best place we have stayed at oops nearly forgot the stale breakfast cereal in the plastic containers yuck that said the lady owner was very pleasant
Andy
Excellent value super breakfast
Timothy
Property owner was very pleasant! Very clean!
Lesley
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.
John

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.
Robert
Very Pleasant Stay
Very welcoming and friendly. Clean and tidy and a lovely breakfast (full English) in the morning. Very peacefully town centre location too.
George
Friday night stay for a gig
Really good stay. Very welcoming. Breakfast was delicious.
Jean
Mediocre
Tired oh so tired! … comfy bed and ok brekkie tho
Linda
This B&B is nicely situated to go to either the beach or the town. The staff are very helpful and friendly and you feel as if you have known them for years just after meeting them for the first time. It is excellent value for money as breakfast is included in the price whereas many B&Bs now add this as an extra.
Paul
Slightly old fashioned B&B in a quiet area. Great value for money and owners very friendly and helpful. Would stay again.
Hamish
A little old fashioned but very clean excellent food and very helpful. close to all services. Highly recommend it.
Oran
Thanks Julia for being so kind and caring
Debbie
I booked in for 3 nights and arrived very late on 1st night.
Room was clean and warm. My requests were dealt with swiftly. Staff were very attentive to myself and other guests.
Room was a bit dated but i didnt mind as it added to the character of my stay.
Will be back again

Patrick
The guesthouse needs a refurbishment. Our room was very dated and had wallpaper pealing from the ceiling. The en-suite bathroom needs a complete re-do, the toilet even leaked!
The owners were nice and the breakfast was good.

Great traditional B&B
I'm not normally one for reviews but this place was great, a proper old school B&B.
The staff were very attentive and friendly, the bed was comfy and the breakfast was one of the best cooked breakfasts I've had.

Perfect solo trip bolt hole
Peaceful, friendly and helpful staff, gorgeous breakfast, perfect room with everything I needed, best nights sleep in a long time, and great value for me. I don't do pictures. But try it out for yourself, it suited my needs, and close to the beach, nice for some barefoot beachwalking🤓
Glynn
Nice location, nice people, nice breakfast but the bathroom was a real challenge. It was a caravan shower. I’m over 6’ and it was a real problem to use. Not sure if it was the same in all rooms but the one we were allocated severely detracted from our enjoyment of our stay, but all other aspects fine.
Andrew
Does what It says on the tin
Good enough for the night
Annette
The property was on a nice quiet street and you could walk to have a meal.
The owner gave us information as to where we could go for an evening meal.

Peeling wallpaper in room.
The owners dog lay down in my room when I came home one evening, I like dogs but not in my room.

Comfortable Stay.
Very Comfortable. All we needed for an enjoyable stay. The room was dated but spotlessly clean and had all the facilities including tea & coffee with biscuits, tv and wi-fi. Bed and en-suite very good. Peter & Julia served a lovely breakfast and made us feel at home. Would recommend for homeliness and comfort.

Good points - owner was lovely and friendly.
Breakfast was fantastic.
Bed comfortable and clean.
Nice quiet location .
Bad points - room was really old and tatty looking and was dirty (family room). En suite is a cabin which you are given a ratchet to turn on the shower. Tiny space - wouldnt do for a larger person.
Unfortunately i wouldnt recommend.

Malcolm
Really lovely. A bit 'old-fashioned' but exactly what I wanted. Julia was a wonderful hostess. Breakfasts were great. Really nice atmosphere and all the people were really welcoming and friendly. Lots of very useful tips about the area and where to go, where to eat or shop etc. were all given happily. Would definitely recommend for a place away from it all - and only 2 minutes from the brilliant beach.
Sam
Very friendly and knowledgable about the areas
Ian
A great B&B
Another great stay.
A great grilled Scottish breakfast.
They can’t do enough for you.
Will definitely be back.
Keep up the good work.
