Book a Girvan Cottage

"We were given a spa voucher as a present and decided to treat ourselves and book in for the night. We were not disappointed. This hotel is worth its 5 star rating and more. The spa was lovely, especially the view over the golf course and out to the Ailsa Craig. The hotel was quite quiet due to the time of year so we were lucky to be upgraded to a suite. (That never happens to me!) The room was spotless and the staff were very attentive without being too overbearing. We started off saying that this would be a one off but are already making arrangements to return for longer. "

"Nice room, good shower, expensive"

"Check in was quick and easy, staff were friendly and polite, room was clean and tidy, dinner was nice, only downside I can say, is the TV was tiny "

"We arrived as the concierge was taking a phone call from another customer complaining and requesting a refund...not the best start. Our stay coincided with a friends birthday party in the function suite, she was told there was a special rate for those that booked direct with the hotel. Three phonecalls later and staff had no idea about it, so we booked on hotels.com instead as the rates going direct were significantly higher. We stayed in room 18, which has seen better days, cracks in the tiles and bath panel. In comparison to the lochside, this hotel is severely lacking and the bed and pillows fairly uncomfortable. That said, the room was clean. The biggest issue i had that night was with a member of barstaff, I used the hotel bar rather than the function suite as there was only one member of staff serving and i wanted cocktails. I gave my order to the staff member and they didnt appear to be very pleased, but made them, I then asked for a pina colada and they looked furious, i asked to pay and come back for it, they huffed and handed me the card reader. I can only guess they'd just cleaned the machine, but I know that i did not deserve that level of attitude. Later i returned to the bar for more cocktails, that same member of staff, left and then returned, when we asked if they were serving they replied "no, i told you that before i left" just very unprofessional. I wouldnt recommend this hotel to anyone"

"It’s ok and clean"

"Hotel is very nice from the outside but tired and in need of a refurb, room 212 the bath water wasn’t hot and the bathroom floods when you have a shower. Staff are pleasant enough. "

"Our family kg 4 had a wonderful stay and we were delightfully surprised by the friendliness and fun activities we found during our overnight. The pool was fine if not a bit chilly but was offset by the warm hot tub. We enjoyed getting dinner in the Curling Club’s bar and kids had fun watching a match! Breakfast was good, cold buffet was maybe a little basic but the hot to-order items made up for it and the staff were kind and helpful. Our room had just been renovated and was perfect for our family and pet. There were thoughtful extras like bath robes and slippers and 2 tvs! The only downside was the shower in our room had such low pressure (barely a stream!) and was cold so I could only opt for a bath. Luckily the kids and my husband had showered at the pool. For one night it was fine but maybe wouldn’t want to be stuck without a shower for more than that. Other than the shower everything else was great. "

"The hotel was undergoing some refurbishment and we had difficulty getting in. Eventually a guest told us to ring a bell at the side of one of the doors in the foyer of the side entrance to speak to the proprietor. Also we had trouble getting the TV to work as only the Sky box worked but no instructiins on how to connect it to the right channel. "

"Spotless and large room with bath, staff and meals were excellent. Beautiful hotel and can't wait to stay again. Thank you!"
