The food and dining area was good. The rooms and general areas are dated and smelled musty. The room was cold and we had to request an electric heater. No way was the heating going to be turned on even though all areas except diningg area was damp and cold.

With the beach on one side and harbour on the other, this was a picturesque location. A fairly quiet area which was good. My room was a bit of a route march from the entrance but staff were great and i enjoyed my stay.

Had a lovely stay. Room looking over the harbour was lovely and big but no air conditioning so needed balcony door open all night. Bathroom clean and big but unfortunately only a very mediocre shower in a bath with a curtain which was clingy. Bed lovely and big and comfortable. View lovely. Walk to troon was quite difficult for my partner who uses a stick, but i suppose should have mentioned it. Lovely being right on the beach, sand and sea were just lovely. Bar prices for lunch and drinks were very expensive as was everything around the area, which we were expecting. The staff were all young and very helpful and polite. We didn’t use the restaurant so can’t say but breakfast was good. The whole hotel building itself did have a very tired feel about it, lots of things needed juzzshing up, but on the whole a very enjoyable stay.

We were disappointed that the hotel wasn’t of the quality we were expecting for the money we had paid for 3 nights bed and breakfast. The room was clean but the bathroom very dated . The breakfast adequate but no info to tell guests that eggs and pancakes could be cooked to request. The only restaurant at the hotel was Italian , we did book for dinner one evening at The Haven ( sister hotel) but the moules weren’t hot, were replaced with less sauce and not charged for , but it spoilt our meal.

Nice hotel right by the sea although it could use some renovation. At the moment of check in we were told that the spa is closed for the duration of our stay (2 days) for maintenance. Although we were told we could use spa facility in a sister hotel, which was some 5 mins car drive it was disappointing we were not informed of this in advance via email or telephone perhaps so we could plan our stay better. We were looking forward to use spa facilities particularly and booked our stay specifically at this hotel for that and even though I explained this to the male receptionist the hotel didn’t offer anything to compensate us in that regard which was disappointing

Few days away with Mum .
The view was lovely hotel needs a little TLC . The sofas in the bedrooms are really old they sink so far back my Mum could not get out of it without my help . Seating in the main areas are very low for old people . The food in the restaurant was good but the food at Haven was really good . Also the spa treatments at Haven hotel were really fabulous Ana did an amazing massage. Our room was a long long way from the lift my Mum is 92 a long way to walk we were after my asking shown another room but it was not as nice as the room we had .
