    The parking was on the street. However a parking pass was issued and we never had trouble finding a space.

    It was in a good location, walking distance to the beach and town. The room was clean and extremely comfortable. The breakfast was cooked to perfection, best eggs ever. It was lovely to start the day with such friendly and helpful people, you are the heart and soul of By The Sea.

    Super location. Very central but also very peaceful. Close to the sea front and a short stroll to the high street. The room was very comfortable with a surprisingly very good electric shower. The extra touches, such as the Scottish Fine Soap products made it feel special. The hosts were brilliant. Extremely friendly and helpful. And everything was topped off with a great breakfast each day.

    Found the room a little cold when we got back from dinner & couldn't figure out the heating (being from Asia & not used to heaters!) We didnt want to want to bother the hosts so late so just jumped under the covers and were soon toasty! Our stay was too short to enjoy this place fully & we left before breakfast time so didnt get to savour it - not the fault of the accommodation at all.

    Met warmly at door by host. Beautiful room, cosy armchairs and comfy bed. Funky wooden chair in bathroom. Wide selection of coffee/tea/choc/ biscuits & pretty mugs. Quick response to email queries by host pre-stay on how to get there. & they booked our early-morning cab to the airport for us. Very close to beach n short walk to town. The whole street was also very attractive.

    A vere comfortable and conveniente stay in Ayr

    The only point that presents room for improvement is the WiFi: not super reliable at times.

    The B&B is extremely conveniently located at walking distance from Ayr Bus Station (the easiest way to reach this town, now that the train station is disrupted) and from the seaside. The comfort of the bedding was a pleasant surprise: those mattress and pillows ensured many nights of excellent sleep. Cleanliness at top level, shower and toilet with very nice complimentary products. Delicious breakfast, very helpful and friendly staff.

    We forgot to order breakfast, but it did smell good as we were leaving in the morning.

    I booked a twin room for me and my son so we could attend a music festival at the pavilion. The room was 2 mins away, which was absolutely perfect. We had a nice welcome on arrival, and a spotless room. Smart TV, fridge, plenty tea, coffee and towels.
