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.

My husband and I have walked around the edge of this harbour many times, especially during the last…read moreyear. There are many information boards beside the harbour wall at different points along the way describing the local history, which is fascinating. The harbour was built by Robert Cunninghame mainly for the export of coal, from his estate in nearby Stevenston, to Ireland. The project was started in 1686 but, owing to dreadful storms, it wasn't until 1700 when the work was completed. At that time Saltcoats was the principal coal port on the Clyde. The harbour was also used for the salt industry. Saltcoats Borough Council began necessary renovation work in 1912 and also built a fake Martello Tower. These days there is very shallow water in the harbour and it is seldom used. Apart from walking, the area is good for bird watching and you can look out for Glaucous and Iceland Gulls, sandpipers, knots, divers and Eiders. Something I particularly like is the way different coloured rocks have been placed among the sea defences; for instance, black rocks to symbolise coal and white rocks which represent salt.

We waited more than 15 minutes before someone took our order. Then, when our food came another 30 minutes later, we still hadn't been given tea nor even water. Everything tasted great. We moved outside after our food, and the seaside garden was divine.

Good value food with portions on the large side and the drinks are reasonably priced…read more The menu is interesting with a mixture of traditional pub grub like steaks, gammon, burgers, liver & onions and a fish specials board which doesn't seem to change, but there is a paper specials which seems to change once a week or so. On top of the normal pub fare there are some more exotic dishes like Mexican Fajitas, Burritos, Chimichangas and Chilli which don't seem very authentic but are tasty and make a nice change. Look out for the grilled breast of chicken with haggis and a pepper sauce: spicy and very tasty! The hotel is a little disappointing and seems to be in the middle of a slow refurbishment. The rooms are of varying quality with, tired furnishings, faulty windows and occasionally dodgy plumbing. On the plus side most of the rooms are a good size, and they have replaced the old TVs with modern LCD ones with Freeview. Overall recommended, especially for value and the helpful & friendly staff.

Hi, just to put our experience of our 1 night stay at Seamill…read more The hotel is lovely, staff were OK, room was clean and comfortable. Then we get to the Orangery! A very disappointing experience - slow service, wine brought half way thru main course, wrong meal, to ask where our dessert was three times, and then the bill was wrong! On checking out we were asked if everything was OK - I hesitated slightly and then was asked 'problem in the Orangery?' I reported our experience and was given 2 email addresses to send our complaints to. Duly emailed to both, no reply! Emailed again 2 weeks later - again no reply from either of the management emails. My opinion! Disappointed with the service in the Orangery - totally disgusted that my emails did not warrant any sort of response from management. We'll not be back to Seamill while this is how they treat guests! Ian Jenkins

You are invited to a wedding and bring your man. Seamill Hydro you say? Aye! RSVP - You betcha!…read more What a beautiful hotel?! I had been before for a wedding reception, proabably about 10 years ago so I knew it was going to be good. I pre-booked our hotel room, we were advised to quote the names for the wedding party to get preferential rates. My jaw nearly fell off when I was given the price, very expensive but on research I found that we did get it cheaper for the type of room we got. Our room was based out in the Courtyard, located outside the hotel, and was a room with a lounge. It was lush! The cost also included access to all the hotel facilities, which included the gym and swimming pool. The wedding was based across two rooms, I believe they were the Arran room and the Brisbane Suite. The Arran Room was named because it looks across to the Isle of Arran. Unfortuntely is was a bit dreich that day so not as good a view as normal. This is where the cermony was, so emotional. Sniff! The Brisbane Suite, I've nae idea but this was where we had photos taken and then it opened up to where we had our meal and where the dancing was to be had. Oh and dancing I had!! The breakfast room was lovely and you had the choice of a cooked and continental breakfast. We made the most of both. Tasty! I had an absolutely blooming marvelous time and can't thank my old school friend enough for inviting us along. I would to go back and make use of the swimming pool as we never got the chance as it was Mothering Sunday so our mothers came first. A beautiful hotel and location as it's situated next to the beach. I would definitely save up and maybe a wee romantic night could be on the cards.
