Excellent location and the accommodation was absolutely immaculate and incredibly spacious. Extremely comfortable beds and everything you need is supplied from gorgeous Arran Aromatics toiletries in the bathroom, towels and slippers, fridge stocked with milk and bottled water, snacks in the welcome pack and plenty tea and coffee. Will definitely be back!

Amazing!!!
Pros:

We had an amazing stay at Salt Lodge Troon. The location is perfect, with stunning views and easy access to the beach and local attractions. The lodge was beautifully presented, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing break.
The staff were friendly, welcoming and couldn't have been more helpful. The attention to detail throughout the accommodation really stood out and the peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect place to unwind.
We would highly recommend Salt Lodge Troon to anyone looking for a relaxing coastal getaway. We had an amazing experience from start to finish and we'll definitely be back!

A lovely, modern well-appointed and cool haven on our long journey, we will return.
Pros:

Warm, welcoming staff. Modern high-quality decor and fittings, very clean. Excellent bed and fabulous shower. Stayed during the hot weather and kept cool with windows ajar and a fan in the room. We were in a ground floor room with our dog and made our own food, there is a convenient dog-shower if they’re sandy from the local beach.
Great indie pizza five minutes walk.

Cons:

Neither of these aspects bothered us, the separately run on-site restaurant does not permit dogs; our view was of the yacht harbour and to the side a boatyard.

Beautiful place
Pros:

Beautiful views and very comfortable. Been a few times now. So relaxing! Staff always really friendly especially housekeepers.

Cons:

Only a couple of minor cleaning issues. Cobwebs on windows (but they maybe just appeared during stay). Moved the rug cause kept tripping on it and there was a lot of crumbs underneath. Wouldn't put me off staying though!!

Internally a beautiful residence however internal sound proofing would be beneficial
Pros:

There was no breakfast, comfortable room adequate facilities however our window and outdoor space was right in the entrance and part of the work yard ergo only viewed boats for repair and logs. It would seen pertinent that if dogs are allowed they should be permitted within a bar area, this is especially pertinent if your ability to walk is curtailed

Cons:

situation of room, outlook poor
