Ayr has been inspiring poets and painters for centuries and hotels like this are ideal for those of a similar artistic bent. This cheery guest house offers affordable bed & breakfast lodgings on Queens Terrace. It also enjoys a great central location just off the esplanade and only a few minutes walk from Ayr Pavilion. The beach is just 100 yards away and one of the hotel bedrooms enjoys good views of the Firth of Clyde. A children’s indoor and outdoor play area is also just around the corner.

It’s a smart and attractive townhouse with six en-suite bedrooms. The classic Victorian cornices and natural wooden floors preserve its period character whilst a good selection of modern amenities – including flat screen ‘Freeview’ television and luxury toiletries – make it a very adaptable option.
