Bed very comfortable, room cosy and very clean, little touches like a slippers, bathrobe, coffee/tea, tea cake, milk, water.

Beaches is a small family-run guest house featuring a large private garden with gated access to Ayr’s sandy beach. It's set just 5 minutes’ walk from Ayr’s centre with its shopping, dining, and nightlife.

The beach is just a very short walk away. The breakfast is wonderful with so many options. Jan goes above and beyond making one feel welcomed and helping one find nearby locations (shops, restaurants, etc). I even got to visit with her dog, Harris. And her homemade shortbread is the best I've ever had!

What a wonderful welcome we had from owners, Margaret and Bryce! The bedroom and bathroom were huge and well appointed. They made reservations for us at a local restaurant and then drove us there and picked us up later.They went way beyond what we expected. Their property is set in a park-like community. You will not regret staying here.

Located in the heart of Ayr, just a few minutes' walk along tree lined avenues from both the town centre and Ayr's beach and promenade. During your stay, you can enjoy friendly personal service and traditional home made food. Plenty of free parking with security lighting and a 24-hour night porter service are available to make things easier.

Warmth and friendliness of the staff, great shower, magical garden, broad menu with seasonal produce, with the most delicious porridge worth staying for alone. A perfect coastal stopover or getaway for travellers with and without dogs. Loved it.
