Family-friendly Ayr hotel with free car parking, golf packages, and locally sourced dining

On-site Dining Options

The Ayrshire And Galloway offers two on-site dining venues. The Bistro serves traditional Scottish fare and Mediterranean dishes prepared by an experienced culinary team using locally sourced produce from renowned suppliers. Next door, the Meridian Cafe Bar provides a separate setting for light meals with a Mediterranean twist.

The Shire Bar

The Shire Bar is a ground-floor lounge where guests can enjoy quality ales and a hearty dram in front of an open fire. It focuses on quality beer and is known for serving Five Kingdom Real Ale. The bar is open daily and provides a relaxed environment for evening drinks.

Golf Packages and Local Attractions

The hotel provides dedicated golf packages tailored for enthusiasts, supported by an owner who is a golf enthusiast. Guests can book packages that include rounds at nearby courses, with easy access to Ayr's golf links. Beyond golf, the hotel is a short walk from Robert Burns Birthplace Museum, Rozelle Park, and Ayr Beach.

Central Location and Transport

The Ayrshire And Galloway is located within Ayr town centre, 250-300 yards from Ayr Railway Station. Free car parking is available on site, and Glasgow Prestwick Airport is a short drive away. The hotel's central position places guests within a five-minute walk of Ayr's High Street, cinema, and bus stop to Ayr Hospital.

Accommodation and Family Amenities

The hotel offers singles, doubles, and family rooms, all with en suite bathrooms, daily housekeeping, and tea/coffee facilities. Family rooms are available for guests traveling with children. Amenities include 24-hour front desk service, luggage storage, and meeting/banquet facilities for business needs.

“The Ayrshire And Galloway sits squarely in Ayr's town centre, its proximity to the train station and amenities making it an undeniably convenient base. Cleanliness is a standout, particularly evident in the immaculate bedding, and the full Scottish breakfast promises a hearty start. Friendly staff and the presence of secure parking add to the practical advantages of this well-located establishment.”
