We were greeted with a cup of tea and a glass of beer on our arrival and even homemade shortbread. We had a beautiful room and a lounge for our personal use where I could help myself to a wee dram. Breakfast was served overlooking farmland behind the house with sheep and pheasants roaming before a great panorama of Ayr, Prestwick and the Ayshire countryside. They looked after us from arriving until leaving and it felt like staying over at a friends house. Thanks guys. The only difficult thing was leaving.

The location is easy to reach from the motorway and is along a peaceful lane. Great restaurants are just moments away as is Robert Burns' birthplace. Rhona's warm smile will take the chill off any day and Paul's stories of world travel provide endless entertainment and copious amounts of laughter. Ayrs & Graces is the perfect Scottish home away from home.

So. Me and the boy were going to go to Stranraer to pick up a cat (long story. well not that…read morelong, but kinda irrelevant here. anyway.) and needed somewhere to stay overnight. We checked laterooms and found a couple of places - but plumped for this one on the basis of good reviews (particularly of breakfast) and the extra star in the rating. And I'm bloody glad we did. Stranraer itself is an odd kind of place, especially now that the ferry doesn't stop there anymore, but if you have any reason to be there and need somewhere to stay I'd heartily recommend staying here. Very comfortable bed, nicely furnished room, friendly (but not in that over-friendly way) owners, who were tremendously kind and cooked a damn fine breakfast. Flat screen tv in the room, nicely stocked hospitality tray and toiletries in the bathroom. Lovely fluffy towels, right temperature, immaculately clean and just overall very welcoming. One note - this is most definitely a NON SMOKING place. They're *very* strict on that. Which was fine with us! Lovely stay, would visit again.

Raymond's B&B is situated in a Victorian home on Hutcherson Park, the owners have set up two guest rooms with a lovely lounge equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. There are stairs so not accessible for those with mobility issues. But it is near the Douglas Promenade an awesome place for a morning run or walk. Our cousins stayed in the larger room which seemed equivalent to a USA queen. As is the case in older lodging the toilet is in a separate room however the walk-in shower and separate tub are top notch. The owner Lorraine prepares a full made to order English breakfast with jams, home made bread, fruit, yogurt, tea and coffee. She truly cares about her guests.

My wife and I vacationed here for our honeymoon, and we were absolutely thrilled with The Ryelands. Lyn is personable and very professional. She exudes a genuine concern and care for her guests. The rooms are fantastically comfortable, and extremely well situated within walking distance of "downtown" Grasmere. Our room, the Silver Howe, has a lovely view with an ever so faint glimpse of Grasmere Lake. The "negative" aspects of this property are actually what makes it wonderful as well. The flat screen television is VERY small with a limited channel selection, and is not easily visible while lying down on the bed (it should be mounted on the wall for better viewing). This is actually a positive, since one shouldn't expect to spend much time in the room, and time would be better spent reading Wordsworth than watching a rerun of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" The staircase leading up to the bedrooms is moderately steep and narrow--a daunting gauntlet for large suitcases or obese rear ends. And don't expect to wheel a suitcase or anything up the gravel driveway to the property. It makes a lovely crunching sound as you walk, but it's impossible to drag anything with wheels smaller than a moving dolly or hand truck. Still, the property is utterly gorgeous. The owners/operators are personable, helpful and inviting. Their breakfasts are delicious. The towels are surprisingly soft, and smell of soothing lavender. It's easy to get "caught up" in the romantic feel of Grasmere from The Ryelands. I HIGHLY recommend The Ryelands over ANY other property in Grasmere, including the famous Wordsworth Hotel. I would award The Ryelands a 5-star rating if: 1. The flat screen television was wall-mounted and maybe connected to a simple DVD player. It's a seemingly silly request, but it's what I would expect from a 5-star establishment. 2. Breakfast service ends slightly too early (around 9 or 10 AM). I would expect a 5-star establishment to provide a simple, continental breakfast option for guests who choose to dine after those hours. 3. The downstairs office uses a secured wireless internet connection, but no access is provided for guests. I would expect a 5-star establishment to provide or charge for in-room internet access. With the relatively low cost of wireless-N routers, I do not believe this to be an unreasonable request.
