Henderson Parish Church was built in 1907 at the start of the London Road, next to the Kilmarnock…read moreWater. It's yet another old building which I regularly walk past on my way to/from town! The architect was the local man Thomas Smellie (1860-1938) and his home, at 46 Portland Road, still retains his architectural studio. He designed many buildings in the town around this time. The minister, as I write, is the Rev. Dr. David W. Lacy. There are always things going on at the church, besides regular services, including meetings of the Guild, the Friendship Club and the Playgroup. The main church, church hall, choir room and count room can all be hired for different events. The car park is at the side take a left turning immediately after the church (driving from town).

The accommodations were ideal, service was superb and setting was magical. The grounds of the estate were perfectly manicured and the Scottish Garden was breathtaking. A walk around the house and grounds was like taking a step back in time. We all loved the morning cook to order breakfast, chef prepared dinners and the very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Andrea and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome as they took care of every little thing and detail. Sad to say that I am not sure if I will ever come back to Hillhouse, but I feel very fortunate that I was able to stay there and experience such a special place with my friends.

In the middle of the Ayrshire countryside, this is a really nice play to go for a fancy meal if…read moreyou're in the area, and is a great place to go if you want to show off the Scottish coast to visitors. I've only ever been here for lunch, and as it's close to my work it's our go-to place for wining and dining visitors. The main room has amazing views of the coast (if the weather is on your side), and you really do feel like you're part of the countryside. The room itself is pretty comfortable, and the staff are nice and friendly. It has a certain formal feel to it, but nothing too serious that you feel like you have to make an effort and be on your best behaviour. This, coupled with the menu and the clientele (it always seems to favour the retired crowd) gives it all a fancy members club feel. When asked about the food I described it as "good quality old persons fancy food", which was meant a a compliment. It's traditional dishes done well, from good fish dishes like whole sole, good quality steak pies and chicken breasts in creamy sauces. Portions are generous, and if you're in a bigger table you get a couple of side plates with veg an chips (and they were good chips!) - all very traditional. And while it isn't doing anything wildly adventurous there isn't anything wrong with doing the classics and doing them well. Personally, I'd like them to throw something new into the menu to justify the 5th star, but if you like good quality food in a nice setting then it's worth a visit. There is a 2 course lunch menu at £12.50 which is well worth a try. And the view is fantastic.
