Brig o' Doon House Hotel

Beautiful hotel. We ate in the restaurant with a stunning view over the iconic bridge. Service was good. Food is just ok. Sunday roast included beef that was overcooked and chewy. The rest was nice, although not a huge serving. Desserts were much the same story, with the fudge coupe nice but lacking an exceptional edge. For the view and interior it’s worth a visit though.

My wife and I went for our anniversary meal on late Wednesday evening, the decor and furnishings were fantastic. Requested a nice table for our evening - they amazed us with corner table with the beautiful landscaping and views. The staff were so kind and welcoming with there suggestions, the food came very quick within 15mins and mains came just after. Would definitely recommended to go for a bite to eat or even a drink at their amazing bar/lounge. Even gave us a beautiful wee desert to wish us a happy anniversary. Food was exceptional and the price was good for the location and quality. Haggis crepe was an amazing starter, MUST TRY!

Toke my dad for lunch to celebrate my mums birthday, she died a year ago. Staff were amazing, booked in advance for specific seating, staff were amazing and food was delicious and served promptly. Lovely location, dad loved it, and my mum spoke about this area allot which made our day extra special.

Lovely location and hotel has been updated/expanded beautifully. Service in restaurant was unfortunately slow and didn’t recognise the issues. Food quality was variable- some dishes were lovely but steak and lamb were very overcooked and lacking flavour. I hope quality and consistency improve as it is a lovely venue.

We had the most fabulous day at my son and new daughter-in-law's wedding on 25/4/25. Many guests told me it was the best wedding venue they had been at (a lot of us are in our 60s) and the best wedding food.|Everything was so well organised and huge credit to the RAD Group for keeping the beautiful gardens immaculate. The Garden Lounge and its terrace are brilliant a addition.|Staying over after at a wedding means you don't spend much time in your room but ours, in the new extension, was lovely, especially the balcony looking out over the river.|It's great that accessibility has been improved too but one small gripe - we had two guests in wheelchairs who weren't able to make it down into the gardens for a photograph of everyone. I can see there isn't an easy fix for this but perhaps it's something to look at for the future.|I think that's the only small criticism on a day that would be otherwise hard to better.

My recent visit to Tales restaurant in the Brig O' Doon, Ayr, left me with somewhat mixed feelings. While the food and atmosphere certainly impressed, the service unfortunately cast a shadow over what could have been a truly excellent meal.||Let's start with the positives: the food was genuinely outstanding. Tales offers a varied menu, and everything we ordered was spot-on. I started with a classic prawn cocktail, which was fresh and flavourful, followed by a delicious monkfish and prawn curry. The curry was perfectly spiced, and both the monkfish and prawns were cooked beautifully. My fiancé opted for the chicken quesadillas to start, and a beef Wellington for the main course. Both dishes were reportedly excellent, with special mention given to the perfectly cooked Wellington. Portion sizes across the board were generous and satisfying, leaving us thoroughly content with the culinary offerings.||The atmosphere at Tales also deserves a commendation. Despite being quite busy upon our arrival, the restaurant had a pleasant buzz, and as tables cleared, it transitioned into a more serene and quiet setting. The view from the Brig O' Doon location is, of course, an added bonus, contributing to a lovely dining experience.||However, the service was where our experience significantly faltered. We encountered lengthy waits from the outset; it took a considerable amount of time for our order to be taken, to the point where we had to flag down a passing staff member after noticing a table seated after us had already ordered. This theme of long waits continued to the end of the meal, with an extended delay for the bill. Ultimately, we had to resort to paying at the terminal on our way out due to the prolonged wait. What was particularly disappointing was the lack of acknowledgement or apology from the staff when I mentioned the excessive waiting time. This oversight really impacted our overall enjoyment of the meal.||At approximately £100 for three drinks, two starters, and two main courses, I didn't feel that Tales offered good value for money, especially when factoring in the significant service issues. While the quality of the food was high, the poor service made the price point feel less justified.||In conclusion, while the food at Tales is undoubtedly a highlight and the setting is charming, the service aspects truly let the team down. I would hesitate to recommend Tales unless you are visiting at a significantly quieter time, or if they were to offer a more budget-friendly menu to reflect the inconsistencies in service.

Hi , went to a wedding 15th June , lovely venue , although parking a nightmare . On arrival tried to get a drink to be told bar is shut due to wedding commencing . It was 20 mins before the wedding which I thought was a bit off as other guests were sitting there with drinks . Great ceremony, the snacks and bites after the vows was nice too and the drinks not too expensive. Later we sat down got a drink for the speeches if you were a wine drinker fantastic with glasses full of it . Bar shut again before the speeches although it depended on you were as a couple were served alcohol after I was declined so inconsistent service . Meal was lovely although it was a poor portion . Reception at night was really good band good although found the ( wedding planner lady ) very regimented although pleasant enough ) appeared to like the centre of attention . Would I recommend the venue for a wedding I was say unfortunately not . Lovely day we had though .

My daughter got married at Brigadoon on Tuesday. This was a perfect day from start to finish. Reegan, the wedding coordinator, took control so the day flowed without a hitch. Nothing was too much for her. She looked after the wedding party with a massive smile on her face and made us all relax. I can’t thank her and all the staff for making our day so special. I would 100% recommend Brigadoon for a wedding. Thank you

Spectacular venue. We were recently here as guests at a friend's wedding and were blown away with how beautiful the setting was. It probably helped that the sunshine came out during the day, but the bridge, river, and old buildings all make for a very picturesque location to have a wedding. Food wise everything tasted great, we had soup, pate (which I ate, as usually I am not a fan, but this tasted good), lamb gigot chops with mash and also some brilliant cheesecake. Drinks wise there was bottles of punk and some other interesting craft beers on offer. The red wine served at the table was also lovely. The service was fast and efficient. Really no complaints anywhere at all. If your considering this as a potential venue for your big day then I reckon you won't be disappointed at all.

What a stunning venue! I recently attended a wedding here and I really don't think I have seen such a beautiful place. Sat on a busy country road just past the little village, it doesn't look much from the front. Once you are past reception and into the bar area you have some stunning views. The main function room has a grand staircase entrance with again amazing views and a balcony the whole was round the outside. This room doubles up as a ceremony suit and also a dining room! After dinner was cleared it was now ready for the evening celebrations. No for the impressive part, the grounds. Set on a little river with high bridges on either side you can tell this place has some history!! I really would have liked to have spent more time here checking out these amazing grounds!
