We were in the area and stopped off for lunch. The service is impeccable and so friendly which is…read more the main reason for the score. 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.

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.

Easy to find, just off the promenade (10 minute nice walk to the centre of Largs). Easy parking and check in process (starts at 2pm). I had a single room which was more than enough. Nice and cozy with a tv, shower/loo and a nice window view. There's a nice restaurant and bar with plenty to drink. If it's sunny the garden looks lovely but I didn't get a break in the weather to test that out. Breakfast was fantastic, has a nice little buffet of cereal, yogurt and fruit. I opted for the cooked breakfast which came out quickly and perfectly cooked. You can add black pudding, haggis or mushrooms. And of course tea/coffee. I'm struggling to offer an improvement,.it really was great..maybe the only tiny one was the bed in room 8 was really squeaky, could probably do with a tightening..:) easy fix. Thank for having me!

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!

Things didn't work - phone, radiator, fan, sink. The bed in their 'king' room was a full size.

This is a review of the Kingarth Pub as opposed to the hotel which I've not stayed…read moreat....anyway.....I'd like to say that The Kingarth Hotel does Scotland proud. I mean that 100%. This is real Scottish style country cooking. Homemade grub that isn't fancy or pretentious but hearty, honest and just so darn delicious. I've eaten here on a couple of occasions and each time our party has been blown away with the quality of the food, the epic portion sizes and fantastic value for money. The focus of the food is around the daily specials, which shows just how fresh the food is. Although there is a standard menu, most of the dishes served will be from the large blackboard above the fireplace. So go and seek this out before ordering. I know I may seem to be going overboard here, considering it is just a simple pub serving traditional fare, but I feel like we are getting served up more gastropub type food in our pubs nowadays or just simply cheap frozen stuff. I love The Kingarth because its seems to be clinging to tradition! Staff are very welcoming and friendly, there is a decent ale selection and also a pool table, which probably makes this the best pub on the island. If your in the area cycling, walking or sight seeing then this place has to be on your to-do list for lunch or dinner.
