This is THE best hotel in Ayr…read more Run by a lovely couple Alan and Liz they really know how to run a business. Its been here for a long time yet looks as fresh and clean on the outside and inside as it did when it was first built - the owners really know how to look after their property and they do it with pride that is obvious from the outset! Polite staff and accomodating with great views and a smashing position away from all the hurly burly of the town centre yet still close to all amenities and great as a base for exploring Ayr with the beach only a few metres away its got a great location. Car park is more than accomodating for any size vehicle and they provide a most excellent service you wont find in many hotels anywhere else in Scotland - worth it just for a lunch or evening meal and perfect for an extended stay and a base to explore the wonders of Ayrshire.

This place is a gem obviously well known to the locals in a nice part of Ayr. Had booked in to the…read moreHorizons hotel a bit further along the front, but when we arrived the rooms were grubby, small and not worth £150 for two nights in a family room. Went on the hunt for something better and happened upon The Chestnuts Hotel. A bit more expensive at £180 for two nights b&b for 2 adults and 2 kids, but what a difference. This is a family run hotel and all staff are friendly, courteous and efficient. Nothing is too much of a bother and the place is immaculate. We are not ones for eating in hotels as we like to see a bit if the area but this place is so good there's no need to go elsewhere. It's handy for all decent attractions in Ayr and a short walk from the beach. Even if you don't stay here, pop in for a beer (real ale too!) or some food as its the business. You won't be disappointed.

The "single" bedroom has two twins pushed together so if you're on a budget you can spilt the rooms and get your own bed. Bathroom is not the nicest and terrible shower pressure. *Four star for the customer service*

This hotel is prolly one of the least pleased hotels I've stayed in while I'm overseas. The staff…read moreis wonderful and helpful but the way they set the rooms up is terrible. The rooms have barely any space for more than one person. The tv cable didn't even work in my room nor was the wifi good enough to even load websites. I'm disappointed with how bad the quality of the rooms are considering we were paying 80 pounds a night. Downstairs in the lobby was nice and the restaurant inside was also good but the rooms were the biggest downfall. All in all I'd recommend somewhere else.

I was in Ayr a few days ago visiting my god daughter and she thought that lunch at the Ellisland…read moreHotel would be great. She was right! There were 5 of us and 4 different lunches were ordered. Everybody said that the food was excellent and to my surprise, it was soooo cheap! The UK isn't the cheapest place to eat in Europe but we had 5 main courses and 5 drinks and the price for all was under 70 pounds. The dining room was beautifully decorated and from what we saw of the hotel, it was on the "posh" side, which was nice. The friendly staff was also a plus. Highly recommended for eating and I would bet that staying there is also a good experience, being just a very short distance to the beach.
