We came here for an overnight winter break following my wife's recent episode of Shingles. This 5 star hotel lived up to its reputation. The hotel is beautifully furnished. It was a bit disappointing that some of the living flames fires did not give out much heat-if any, but we found one which did and enjoyed a welcome beverage beside it in the comfortable lounge area. Overall the hotel was warm. The bedroom was fantastic, everything we could wish for, except a fridge, which we thought a bit odd, but what a view, watching the sun setting over Ailsa Craig!|The staff were most welcoming and helpful.|Dinner was of a very high standard. For mains I had a ribeye and my wife chicken. Both cooked to perfection. Very nice house wine accompanied the food. Service was first class.|We were very lucky with dry, crisp weather and the following morning after a hearty, cooked Scottish breakfast drove to the nearby beach for a bracing winter walk.|The only hiccup was at checkout with a misunderstanding over the cost. Reception insisted we were on an Itison deal, which had a lower allowance for dinner. We were able to show the staff the confirmation email they had sent us, which had nothing to do with Itison, and the matter was satisfactorily resolved.|We highly recommended this hotel.
