Brilliant stay

Loved it. Only the one night but really happy with check in and communication. Very very clean room and shower room . Never had a shower but looked like the shower head holder was broken? Maybe not? Really comfy bed. If back in Irvine I will book again.

Very good, simple instructions to gain access, quiet and cosy room. Very powerful shower, comfy bed and good size TV. Wifi was good and strong, simple desk and shelving perfect for a few nights. Great location 5 mins from shops and train station. Plenty of food options near by and bar too. Perfect for the maritime museum.

Small but comfortable guest house on the harbor. Few amenities and only a few restaurants in walking distance, but within easy reach of Troon by car. An affordable option if you are travelling in the region by car.

Excellent room facilities: I have a fractured collarbone & everything was very conveniently placed. Although small, the room was easy to move around. Duvet & room too hot... but Climate is out of our control.

Nice place, and friendly helpful owner

Easy check-in, nice clean and quiet room. Unfortunately, I accidentallydamaged what I thought was the bathroom flush, and contacted Nick straight away. He told me not to worry at all, and explained that he would sort the problem out when he arrived. Fantastic owner, I would imagine that certain other people would take advantage of this and try and request extra payment. I would recommend this place, and would definitely stay here again.
