The Carlton Hotel's carvery has been a hugely popular feature for decades. Vegetarians aren't…read morecompletely forgotten about thankfully! I opted for the tempura vegetables on this visit and declined the carvery counter vegetables (for a supplement) since it was already a fully formed main course. Tempura vegetables with Thai sweet chili dip is better suited to being a starter in my opinion, but the meal hit the spot on the day. In the very distant past the Carlton used to offer vegetarians a brie and brocolli pithivier plus carvery sides. Next time they revamp their menu I'm hoping they'll consider including it again, or at least something very similar. When everyone else was enjoying the carvery roasties, vegetables and cauliflower cheese, my chips felt a little underwhelming. Carveries are few and far between these days. If thats what takes your fancy the Carlton Hotel shouldn't disappoint. Plenty of parking and a smart modern dining room. There's no carvery at weekends as the room is turned into a wedding venue. They still serve food however, at Logans Bar at the rear of the hotel. Well worth a try!

Its ideal for a family gathering as there is plenty of space and on a nice night its nice to sit in the gardens. Its in Monkton so not far from Ayr itself if you have transport and sometimes its nice to get away from the biz of the town to somewhere quieter, well this is the place to be if thats the case. They also cater for weddings and other occasional gatherings.

Do not stay here. We had booked this hotel on booking.com for our recent trip to Scotland. Upon…read morearrival the front desk staff was friendly and had us pay upfront because we had booked through a booking site. We then got to our room. That's when it was really disappointing. The heating barely worked, the sink did not drain properly, WiFi did not work, and the shower would turn on with very little water pressure and then not ever turn off again. When we attempted to turn off the water the handle stared coming off the wall. We complained to front desk immediately, we were then told we could not be moved until the manager came in in the morning. When he finally came to tell us he could move is we had booked at a better place down the road. We then attempted to get a refund on the bights we did not stay there and the management refused. When I said I will then have to write a review on my experience he responded with this email and then blocked me from responding. Don't waste your money!! From the manager: "I really do not see the point in responding to you to any significant degree. Clearly blackmail is the 'norm' for you and if you feel you need to spend your life as a 'keyboard warrior' writing 'multiple negative reviews', there is not much more I can say that is likely to make any difference - anyone who stoops to the vile level of blackmail is really not worth engaging with as they are very unfortunate individuals - in truth, criminals! In any event, I have forwarded your threats to our account managers at the various review sites who take threats of blackmail extremely seriously. "

It's tough to manage even opening luggage for 1, much less 2 people. There are no drawers. No hangars. Theres an annoying amount of drinks to buy in the room that take up valuable space. Things didn't work - phone, radiator, fan, sink. The bed in their 'king' room was a full size. I wanted to give it a higher rating for charm but simply can't until they make better use of the space in each room.
