Top Mill Sand Hotel Reviews

The Ayre Hotel

The Ayre Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Bar staff super friendly and helpful with tips on things to see and do, the other staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. We had a budget room which was very spacious, king sized bed, tv and coffee making facilities. The bathroom was very clean and the towels were super soft. The meals were a good size and very tasty. Would happily stay here again."
