Pros:

Staff were very welcoming, friendly and professional. The location was really nice with it being quiet and out of the way which was one of the main reasons for choosing to stay here. The only issue we faced was that there wasn't much to do around in the little town so we were having to return to the pub we found that had a pool table, the black bull. The local cafe (cob) was lovely to grab breakfast from in the mornings and as they are a dog friendly place we got to enjoy our meal in the company of some lovely characters which in itself was a bonus to us. All in all it was a much needed break from everyday life in the city. Would highly recommend to those seeking out the same relief.

Cons:

The quilt cover seemed to have a couple sweat stains on it which wasn't ideal as it felt a little unhygienic at the thought of having to sleep in it. The price of the meals were slightly overpriced for the size of portions that were given but other than that they were still delicious. Although having left a little hungry after the meal we had to grab a bite to eat elsewhere down the street from the takeaway.

Exactly as expected. Pleasant.
Pros:

Breakfast was modest but entirely as described, and entirely enough for us. Location was good, Good for us to visit Burns museum and Dumfries House. Good stop-off on a long journey to catch the ferry from Troon.

Cons:

a little noise transfer from the road outside, but not too intrusive.

Great hotel for the price
Pros:

Great bathroom. Comfortable room. Friendly staff

Cons:

Pillows could do with a refresh as they were kind of flat. Public parking not a dealbreaker but something to consider.

Wouldn’t recommend was only interested in taking our money
Pros:

The room was clean and tidy

Cons:

We paid for early check in this has been verified 3 times on arrival at the hotel we were advised there was an additional £10 for early check in which we paid then was told our room wasn’t ready and we wouldn’t be able to get into it , we were giving little information about how to order breakfast or even how to get into to the hotel after hours when we had already advised we would be late getting back at night we had to wait for someone to open the door as it wasn’t explained to us that the keys we had opened the main door as well we weren’t able to order breakfast as the card in our room wasn’t seen until morning time due to only being at the hotel 15 mins before leaving for the day for a wedding which the staff were aware off the hotel room was very small and the bed was tiny

Disponibili tappi per orecchie visto che si trova sulla strada.

Cons:

Nulla
