    Nothing.

    The Beaches is a high quality guest house in a great location close to the beach and only 5 minutes walk to the town centre. Room and en-suite bathroom (Room 2) were immaculate and the breakfast is as good as anywhere I’ve ever stayed. We will definitely return if travelling to Ayrshire again.

    The host, Jan, was super welcoming, giving us suggestions and even posting me my toothbrush when I left it behind. The location is right next to the beach, and the views were excellent!

    Where to start. Warm, friendly, kind hosts. The place is absolutely immaculate and the best of quality bedding, towels, crockery. The breakfast is fantastic. Freshly cooked to order and a beautiful selection of continental. 5 star throughout and a brilliant location right beside the beach with lovely shops & restaurants a few minutes walk away. Can’t recommend highly enough.

    Jan is an absolutely amazing host. She welcomed us to her guest house and showed us around. Her attention to details is absolutely impeccable! The room and the bathroom were squeaky clean, absolutely spotless!! We had everything we needed from delicious coffee and tea all the way to body balm and hair conditioner. Both the bedding and the towels were great quality and the bed itself was super comfy. And the view from the room was beautiful as it is overlooking Jan’s beautiful garden and the beach! We will definitely be back whenever we are back in Ayr. Absolutely delightful stay!!

    Every room was different and extremely clean, and anytime I thought I needed something it was right at hand. All the restaurants were nearby to walk to. The nearby park for kids was perfect. The cheerful owner had a fluffy companion that we got to cuddle. This home would be a great place to stay for several days.

    Absolutely nothing to not like.

    Location, view, facilities, cleanliness, and the owners. We were welcomed very well by Kirsty, who showed us our room, which was lovely and the view was superb. The room was to a very high standard, as was the cleanliness of it. It was a great place to stay with a great selection of coffee and teas, not to mention the homemade shortbread and breakfast. Jan, the owner and her daughter Kirsty, were the perfect hostesses. Top Notch.

    Having to leave, we have spent over 21 days in Scotland, and this was the best place we ever stayed at.

    The breakfasts were 5 Star. Jan is an excellent cook and baker. We stayed in the top room overlooking the sea and I had more than enough room being 6'4. The place was well kept, and Jan really has put her mind to making it a wonderful place to stay.

    Nothing!

    Beaches is a beautifully kept mini hotel! The attention to detail in the rooms is 2nd to none. I don’t have the space to list everything that I loved, but here are my highlights: the bed was wonderfully comfortable, the bathroom was very nicely decorated and lit. There was a beautiful table and chair in the room, luxurious curtains for the bay window. Really attractive mugs and a bottle of milk in the fridge, home-made shortbread (10 pieces!) and there were even very comfortable dressing gowns in the stylish wardrobe. Even the hangers were luxurious! Jan is the most wonderful host - she can’t do enough for you. Breakfast was cooked superbly and such a choice was available. The location is lovely, right on the beach and in a Victorian street with so much character, the elegant council buildings are also nearby. I felt like I was transported back to the 19th century with all the beautiful architecture at the Ayr seafront. This is one of the best establishments I have ever stayed in and I have travelled a lot. I will most definitely be back! Thank you Jan ❤️

    When we arrived back from shopping and day out, the radiator didn't seem to click on and it wasn't as warm as expected. We cozied into bed to heat up as we felt it was too late to say anything... it didn't bother us too much though and overall it was comfortable enough.

    Breakfast .Jan went above and beyond to cater for my gluten-free need. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. I love that i wasn't treated as though i was a nuisance for asking for gluten-free food. My husband enjoyed his breakfast, too. The room - cosy wee room with toilet and shower, just below street level. The wee extras like the magnifying mirror and the homemade shortbread made it very special. The bed was very comfortable and the tea and coffee were delicious we both had hot chocolate and nice coffee The bonus of parking outside with a permit makes s difference.
