Grand old guesthouse set in a beautiful location right on the water front. Walking distance to local amenities too. Great customer service from the owner. Went for the full Scottish breakfast, was great, and huge. More of an older traditional guesthouse, with great history, rather than a modern hotel.

Lovely B&B full of character

Avril was a lovely host, very chatty and friendly and knew a lot about the area and it's history. We were attending a wedding at the Seamill Hydro which is only a couple of houses along from the B&B, super handy! Our room was clean and comfortable. The house has a lot of character and original features. The view from our room was amazing, looking right out to the sea and Arran. You can walk through the back garden out onto a path along the sea front which also leads down to the beach, spent the morning after breakfast walking along it and enjoying the great weather!

We stayed in aVictorian building and not an hotel. Our accomodation was larger and more grand than any cabin on our 30 years of cruising! We went for an evening wedding, Avril gave us a door key and we walked a few yards to the Seamill Hydro.

Avril is a lovely person with great knowledge about the local area and attractions. The view from the double room is outstanding. There is ample parking and its a very good base. The garden is huge and backs onto a coastal walj so you can access the beach from there. It's a very traditional bed and breakfast. The rooms aren't en-suite which may not suit everybody

A real bed and breakfast experience

Avril offered us a real bed and breakfast experience, meaning we felt like we were invited to stay the night in her home. We had a long interesting chat in the morning. If people want more of a "quick-and-easy" hotel experience, perhaps this is not the place for you. The room was beautiful with view on the sea, the house was very nice: we felt like the time had stopped for a bit which is exactly what we were looking for. Many thanks Avril for making our stay so enjoyable.

Owner tries hard but that's it..

The owner tries hard but I suspect is struggling. Could be an amazing place but needs a lot of work. In it's present form doubt it would pass a health and safety check. Permanent, permeating all pervasive awful smell probably from old perhaps damp carpets. This is not a 100 pound a night stay however you look at it: halve that and it might make more sense for an overnighter.

This place has obviously won awards in the past - but the owner seems to have lost the passion for creating a welcoming, clean and friendly service. The place generally felt grubby and tired. We also requested (and she approved) an early breakfast due to business commitment. The food came for one person 5 mins before we had to leave and the other guest left hungry.

We absolutely do not recommend Carlton Seamill B&B. Although it is in a lovely location, and the owner, Avril is very friendly and kind, the condition of the building leaves a lot to be desired. The ceiling was leaking in two different places every time it rained, and our room was not even the top floor of the building. The constant dripping made it difficult to sleep, with the additional worry that the plaster would fall in. The building needs some serious maintenance. Additionally, carpets and rugs had a very strong smell of dog/urine, even in the breakfast room. We waited a long time in that room for our breakfast to be served.

Advertised as dog friendly, yet they kept panicking about the dog and not allowed her into the dining room for breakfast while not allowing her to be left alone in the room. The room was run down, the pipes were making a constant noise, the shower hardly worked. And the best for last, the communal areas and dining room smelled of urine and B.O. All in all the worst place that made someone who has been touring the world - and could never be bothered to write a review - to write his first.

Please read and consider before booking!

My friend and I booked this B&B because of the price for a one night stay and the amazing view as advertised. However, we do not believe this should be a verified or listed property on Hotels.com. We appreciate that the owner, probably 20 years ago, was able to run this property smoothly. However, due to its current state, it is not suitable for guests. We have a lot of respect for the owner, considering it’s her family home, but perhaps she cannot see the serious issues, full stop; overbearing smell of urine, clutter, jobbie stains on bathroom mats, storm damage on walls, and build up of dirt. The woman was kind and we could tell she was passionate about the property, but she openly spoke about past guests being displeased with their experience. Please think about this review before you book, as it was a real shame for us and now feel mislead. I wish we had seen the low reviews before booking.

Unclean dining area had dirty breakfast dishes and open food in the mid-afternoon. Guest lounge was unavailable for use because it was entirely filled with stored items. Very steep narrow stairs and very tight split-level communal bathroom were entirely inaccessible for disabled patron. Prepayment for three-nights accommodation was retained by proprietor even after disabled guest booked accommodation elsewhere. I would not recommend this place for anyone (disabled or otherwise) to stay. The sharp-tongued proprietor was very unwelcoming!

Ideal for an overnight stay

This is an old house and the decor, fittings and furniture is relative to age. The elderly lady that owns the B&B is lovely and caters for the individuals needs. She allowed us to book in early so that we could attend a wedding nearby on time. We also had a full Scottish beakfast and although it was fantastic dont expect quick service as due to her age the lady works at her own pace. This is not a criticism as she made our breakfast to order and we also enjoyed her company as she sat at the dining table chatting wirh us for the duration of our meal.

This property should be closed down, it was in a truly disgusting state of repair. The place has a really bad smell of mould and urine. The owner may be trying her best but I dont believe it should be open for business. The bathroom was filthy, the place is cluttered and most of the carpets and bedding is threadbare.
