Ayr might have more lavish and more central hotels, but if you are prepared to exchange the bland anonymity of chain hotels for a little homespun friendliness then this cosy little guest house just off Ayr’s broad, sweeping esplanade could be just the thing you need. A family-run property in a quiet conservation area, the Craggallan grabs consistently good reviews from all who have stayed here. The rooms are furnished to a very high standard and its convenient beachside location makes it a special treat for small families. The Robert Burns Museum and Culzean Castle are just a short drive away – R4U
