OK - but poor value for money

OK stay at the Daviot House: room was tidy and clean and the welcome was exceptionally pleasant. However, our room was very small; refreshment selection was poor; there was inadequate storage and table space; and value for money seemed poor compared to other hotels/guest houses in the same area.

Such a clean, quiet, homely and welcoming stay. Very good location for visiting surrounding castles. We had three meals at the Tree House, a local eatery just around the corner and I cannot recommend it enough! Ayr has some of the loveliest and kind people in the world. I definitely recommend Daviot House as the place to stay in Ayr. :)

We love Daviot House!

Daviot House is a lovely guest house in a fantastic location close to the beach and Ayr town centre. We had a great sea view and enjoyed some colourful sunsets over the sea! The room was very clean and peaceful, with a gorgeous comfy bed! The owner Linda was an amazing and very attentive host who made sure everything was perfect for us and cooked us some very nice breakfasts! While in Ayr, we enjoyed a lovely walk along the very long beach, and a fantastic day out at Culzean Castle. We will definitely be back to Daviot House the next time we are in Ayr!

Linda is amazing, the entire property is lovely, well kept, and very clean. Kindness and respect was on full display! If you’ve seen bad reviews of this place, it was the previous caretaker. Linda is incredible and you’re in good hands here.
