We have a 6 week old baby and it's so nice when staff are understanding of the difficulties faced at times with a newborn. The staff seated us next the fire so that we were warm and away from drafts. The food is wholesome but doesn't really rock the tastebuds. My starter of breaded Brie was done well and Hubby's lentil soup was piping hot (a must for soup!). Both were palatable and enjoyable. I opted for lasagne which was served with salad and chips. It almost reminded me of a school lunch in that it was comforting. Hubby's burger was well seasoned and quite tasty! Dessert was homemade profiteroles in chocolate sauce. It was tasty but didn't rock the tastebuds. It's a little out the way from Glasgow as it's just outside of Kilwinning. However there's a good sized car park and the staff are simply lovely. Great value for money in that we both had 3 courses and a few non alcoholic drinks for the grand total of £25. All in all we were happy with the meal and the staff made it even better.

The King Arms Hotel was very comfortable, clean, and hospitable!…read more On our journey 2014, we had left Belfast Ireland very late in the day on a Stena Line car ferry to cross the Irish Sea heading to Scotland. By the time we had arrived at Cairnryan Port Scotland it was very dark, but we decided to start driving the 200 mile trek from Cairnryan Port on the A77 roadway to Lochness Lake located approx (200) miles away. Being so very tired, and struggling to drive any further, we began looking for places to rest on the long dark roads around Ballantrae, this is when we stumbled upon the King Arms Hotel. The King Arms staff booked us in late without any trouble, were very polite and offered us a late night dinner and drinks. We ended up playing pool in the pub area, having drinks, and speaking to the locals in the pub about the history of the area. In the morning, in the dining room area, they had a very nice breakfast prepared for us to sustain us on our journey, the atmosphere was amazingly family like. It was a very unexpected and pleasant stop on our journey into Scotland! If you walk to the west of the main parking lot, there is a small trail which will lead you through a large grassy soccer field, this trail will take you to the shore of Ballantrae Bay, the trail is approximately 700 feet in length. The view in the morning hours was amazing!!!!! Definitely Recommend!

Located at Maidens harbour with its fishing boats bobbing about, it makes sense that there would be a focus on fresh fish! The menu is well balanced though and fans of meat, poultry and vegetarian fare are well catered for. The dining room is modern, bright and airy and full of nice decorative touches. The drinks are a little more expensive than some places but they are generous with the jugs of iced water at the table, so thumbs up for that. I'm not a fan of fizzy soft drinks, so as I was driving I opted for a glass of lime cordial with tap water which also kept my costs right down. Being a bit greedy we polished off the warm fresh bread and butter before our starters arrived, but the friendly staff were only too happy to bring us another basket on the house. Our starters were fabulous as were our mains, but we had no room left for dessert which is a pity, as it doesn't add much to the bill at lunchtime! This is a place where tables are properly set with linens and nice cutlery and its a perfect spot to bring someone for a special occasion. It may be a fair drive for most people to get here, but it's definitely worth the trip. I've dined here many times over the years and used the opportunity to walk across the beach to Culzean Castle where you can access the grounds free of charge. I don't feel too bad about not paying to get in, especially as I've been an almost lifelong member of the National Trust anyway. Another spot you can go to walk off lunch is the iconic Turnberry Lighthouse on the famous Open golf course. Its two minutes from Wildings Restaurant and there is a public right of way across the course. Tip: Ask for directions to the lighthouse at the Golf Club starters box so you can safely avoid getting hit on the bonce with a golf ball! Guests at the adjacent glitzy Trump Turnberry Resort Hotel flock to Wildings Restaurant for a change of scene. They know good food when they see it and I can't disagree with them! Two superb courses at lunch for under £13. Booking Essential! Highly recommended.

The only reason I stay there is for the golf at the Ailsa course, an Open Championship venue. There are many resort hotel activities and a spa, so I suppose you could do that stuff but there is not much else except the Eisenhower Castle close by. The nearest town is Girvan which is tiny, but with a few good local places for fish and chips and Indian food. The restaurant has a good Scottish breakfast included with the room. The continental breakfast buffet is very good with lots of fresh and dried fruits. I get a load of smoked salmon with my usual Turnberry Grill, which consists of eggs, bacon, sausage, roasted tomato and black pudding. I suppose you could get Haggis. I've stayed there many times since the 1980's and the property has been extensively remodeled over the years. It's a lot more modern and fresh now. Service has always been excellent.

The dining room was cosy and there were other diners but you didn't feel as though you were being overheard by anyone. The menu was extensive and I would highly recommend the monkfish. At the end of the evening we had a lovely stroll along the side of the loch back home.

This done we waited on the rest of the party in the residents lounge, where there were plenty of comfy seats and tables in the conservatory with a well stocked bar (a plethora of whiskeys on offer as befits a bar not far from the ferry terminal over to Islay and Jura) just off it with craft beers etc. On the arrival of the rest of the party while we sorted out drinks in the lounge the waitress dished out menus and after a suitable time perusing, took the order for the meal, allowing us a little time to catch up before informing us that the starters were ready and allowing us to decant to the table in the other end of the conservatory. Bright and spacious surroundings in the restaurant and comfortable seating make this a pleasant place to be. The food was superb starters consisted of scallops which were seared to perfection on black pudding, pulled pork on a black pudding with a poached egg on top and all cooked perfectly. Mains were Fish and chips with a healthy bit of fish and chunky cut chips, rump frites again a perfectly seared and not insubstantial lump of rump and skinny fries, mac and cheese with the option of spicy sausage through it, creamy and delicious, rib eye steak again juicy, beautifully prepared and with sides of mushrooms and vine tomatoes. Deserts were rather good as well, all in all a fantastic unrushed night and great company in clean, comfortable surroundings.
