Double room (not huge) with ensuite shower / toilet. Towels provided. Room was 3rd floor (tight stairs) . Very clean , nice hot shower. Breakfast was delicious with masses of toast. Paid £162 via a booking site (tried to book direct but was dearer -work that out...) for a 2 night stay -that's £81 each for room and breakfast -bargin. 4minute walk to a spoons pub ! Would stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
For a single traveler, requiring a budget, no frills stay, this was excellent. The location is very good, between the town and the promanade, and situated in a very nice residential area. The room was on the top floor, acessed by a steep, tight staircase, so wouldn't reccomend it for anyone with mobility problems. Typical guesthouse, the breakfast was very good and freshly cooked, which sets you up for the day. Yes, the room was basic and dated, but it had everything that you need and was clean and comfy, so was very happy and will definitely stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We had a great stay here and the owners are very friendly and a good choice of breakfast. It is very quite location within easy walk to the city center and other amenities. We won the top floor (great views at the rear) but as seen in other comments the last bend of the stair is quite steep and a tadge awkward around the narrow steps. It is definately not a room for those that have knee or hip problems. On arrival we were advised that we should have noted any disability/ joint problems on booking and a more suitable room would have been allocated if available. Unfortunately there is no space for this comment on the booking form when made through this website.

Nice, homely accommodation with lovely breakfast

From the moment we arrived at the guest house until the moment we checked out, the nice lady that hosted us was brilliant. She was always very friendly and helpful and cooked a remarkable Scottish breakfast. The room had everything we needed and was cosy and spotless. We thought it was excellent value for money and would definitely stay again.

Neat, clean Guest house short walk from Ayr Beach

Great little find. Had a very reasonably priced single room that suited me. Shared Bathroom was neat and clean but was up a flight of stairs.. Didn't find that an issue. Not far from the stunning Ayr beach.. see photos below taken the evening I arrived. Towels and bedding are definitely provided.. some-one had put that they weren't provided on the website I booked with (which did seem weird!). The cooked breakfast was also excellent.
