I really enjoyed my stay. The breakfast was amazing and Julie & Wilson are very welcoming. The breakfast routine is simple, pick a time, what you want to eat and prepare to be wowed. The bed was very comfy and little touches like hot chocolate in the room, very much appreciated. I used the hotel as a base for my exploration of the west coast.

Beautiful Guest House
Beautiful guest house just a couple of minutes from the long sandy beach in Ayr. Fantastic location for walking and just a few minutes to the town center. Our room was pristine, it even had its own small fridge, with a bottle of chilled water and fresh milk. The room also has a microwave. There's a choice of cooked breakfast, which was just perfect.

Lovely owners, delicious breakfast and great living room space with Sky Sports. Only downside was the layout of my particular bathroom, which didn’t have much legroom when you were sat on the toilet.

I would highlight the property architecture, the decoration, and in terms of comfort the quality of the cotton of our bedding. Our breakfast was cooked to a good standard, the products tasted good and were sourced locally. The options beside the breakfast range from protein bars, to actimel, options that were new to myself.

A fab stay!!!
A fab stay!!! A and very friendly welcome and stay throughout from Wilson and Julie at bythesea which is situated close to the beach and within easy walking distance to the town. Our room and en suite were both spotlessly clean. Our room was cosily warm with a super comfy bed, quality bedding and large bath sheet towels. Breakfast was beautifully presented and consistently cooked to the highest standard with quality produce. Kept us full all day until our evening meal ! On street parking was easy with a free permit provided and the street is very quiet. We would definitely recommend staying here and will do again ourselves when next visiting Ayr.
