Great pet friendly hotel - right on the beach
This is a modern well maintained hotel. Ultra pet friendly!! Right on the beach Good quality bar food, great breakfast Great staff. It is also right on the road so do book a beach facing room - we did not and the room was OK, but we yearned to open our window - and it was not to be as this is a busy road.

A week at The Open
A five day stay to watch The Open Golf championship at Troon. The hotel was not able to provide TV coverage of the golf which was unfortunate ans most residents were there for the golf. The hotel took advantage of the golf to charge a premium for standard rooms. It may be better value to travel in from further afield during the championships.

Great hotel. Everything seemed to be just right. Service was there when you needed it and not there when you didn’t. Minor issue with vegan ingredient availability but nothing else wrong.

There was a main road right outside our window and there is a constant roar of traffic. We did not get much sleep. The only thing to spoil a lovely little break

Great place. Friendly staff, with special mention to reception who had to deal with an inconsiderate guest. Food was great too. Loved the decor of the whole hotel. Well done to all

A very different experience
We stayed here before and had a fantastic experience. Sadly, rather disappointing this time. We booked a delux room which on entering had opaque film covering the lower half of the windows which instanty made me suspicious. It was an attempt to block views of the bins, road and the caravan park next door. Our room was at the side of the hotel. We expected a partial sea view, but not the rest. With the hotel being so quiet we would have expected a better room positioning. We were shocked to find that simeone had clearly used our loo. There was urine & loo roll in it! The bar, restaurant area was very cold with only embers glowing in the log burner. Another client was sitting with his puffa jacket on. We asked if they could stoke the fire, however we were told it hadn't been on for 2 days and there was no kindling! It had been on. They then turned up the heating. The open kitchen in the bar area was noisy. Music playing in the bar clashed with the music being played in the kitchen. A large collection of cutlery was being dried and dropped into the cutlery holder behind us, it was ridiculously loud! We thought it would never stop. A very different experince from the beautiful room and comfort of our last visit.
