A 10-minute walk from Ayr Train Station, this guest house has bedrooms with free Wi-Fi and is well located for the town centre, beach and golf courses.

Inverlea Guest House is elegant and modern and serves a full Scottish breakfast, with vegetarian options. There are many restaurants in the local area.

The perfect place to stay! We were warmly welcomed as soon as we rang the bell, by both Liz and Douglas. We arrived to find a gift from a previous guest left on the doorstep, which I took as a very good sign! The house is immaculate, it’s cosy and quiet, it even smells wonderful. We were given an option of 2 rooms and Douglas got us set up in the one we picked, even bringing our luggage up. The rooms are well set up with lovely beds, good internet, a nice tv and a great shower. And all the pillows you could ever need. Breakfast was excellent, and there was a pretty wide selection of choices. The house is right next door to a fab restaurant, and it’s not a far walk to other good food options and the rest of town. A ten minute walk finds you at the beach.

Set within a stunning conservation area of Victorian and Georgian townhouses, this family-run guest house is ideally located within 2 minutes’ walk from the beach. There is free Wi-Fi.

Each room has an en suite shower room, a flat-screen TV, tea/coffee making facilities and cookies.

My sister and I stayed for a couple of days in April and absolutely loved it. We found the owners to be very nice and extremely helpful. The double room was clean and really comfortable (especially the big, comfy bed), and even though the room wasn't big, it was more than adequate for me and my sister. The area is beautiful, and located really close to the sea, so it definitely is a great place to start a day. I definitely recommend this place :)

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.
