Girvan

"We had a lovely stay at the Castle - the room was beautiful as was the food. The staff in the restaurant and those who welcomed us were amazing. Only disappointment was on check out we asked the history of the castle and were told by a very disinterested staff member to "look it up online"! We thought they would have been very proud to talk about the history and when it was built etc. Other than that we loved it!"

Top Cairnryan Hotel Reviews

The Waterfront Hotel & Bistro

10/10 Excellent

"Great food, excellent staff. Room very comfortable with a great bed."

The Crosswater

10/10 Excellent

"This is a room above a pub. It is the cleanest room I have ever stayed in. It is small but functional with a comfortable bed. The staff are excellent and extremely accommodating. Breakfast is free and so is the clean fresh air. Food is excellent and the place is pet friendly. Its about 35 mins to the ferry but worth the journey."

The Harbour House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room 1 should be advertised/used as a single room as too small for 2 people. It wasn't value for money! No chair to put anything & limited storage. The bathroom needs some hooks or a rail for towels. It was clean. All food we had was very good. All staff were helpful, friendly & polite. We will go again but request anything but Room 1!"

Woodland Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I would recommend this self catering facility to anyone visiting the area. Very nice hotel room with mini kitchen. Fridge, microwave, tea and coffee making facilities, iron. Some food supplies and snacks. Breakfast cereals. Also a TV and WI-FI connection. Great sea view from room. I was only there for one night business trip but would quite happily have stayed with my wife as a tourist. Good nights sleep in comfortable bed, quiet and peaceful Plenty of parking spaces. Definitely 10 out of 10. Will stay again when I'm next in the area."

Glenapp Castle

10/10 Excellent

"This castle is fabulous! For Americans it is like stepping into a Downton Abby set. The staff greet you at the door, take your luggage and from that moment forward treat you like royalty. Not only is this a gated property, but you need your sir name in order for the gate to open! Then the drive up the narrow road just enhances your excitement to see the castle. John was great at showing us around and to our room. He was very helpful in understanding where everything was and how to get around. The option to use boots and coats owned by Glenapp to tour the grounds was an added bonus so you didn’t get your own shoes dirty. The room was spacious, clean and very welcoming. To have the option of taking a full tub was amazing. Surprising was the turn down service given without request - we had already retired but would have loved to have this done for us. In the morning we requested some hot tea to enjoy while in the sitting area of our room. We were given a drink credit by using Expedia, but I am wondering if the dinner and breakfast were already included in the pricing. That was not clear, but we did enjoy a very wonderful breakfast while listening to classical pop music - very Bridgerton. Even without the TV references, this is a quintessential castle experience and I highly recommend staying at Glenapp Castle."
