"Great location on the beach front. Easy to get around the city. We recommend the place overall."

Fairfield House - Ayr

8/10 Good

"Overall a good experience, good location for both dining out and closeness to the beach. The main issue I faced was a staff member entering my room in the early morning hour with their key without knocking. Though the reception staff apologised for that but I could not expect that unprofessional behaviour from a staff member."
