Rooms not the best but great restaurant
Stayed here for two nights as part of a longer business trip. The hotel is located at a race course and has a lovely grounds with water fountains and other features. The room was alright for a couple of nights. I was expecting something similar to the photos but it was wayyy more dated. Being at the racecourse, I'm sure it has seen some heavy sessions in its time. The smell of stale cigarettes greeted me as I first walked through the door. The towel radiator in the bathroom gave me a little tingle when I touched it. The stay was saved by the excellent food in the Jockey Club restaurant coupled with the brilliant service there. Breakfast was different on each day with day one being a buffet style - the best buffet breakfast I've ever had. The second day was table service, equally as great. Evening meals were fantastic and the waiting staff even brought out little tasters which were compliments of the chef. The hotel bar is OK with the odd singer playing as entertainment.

It was comfortable and a nice big room for what we paid but because of the price it was basic and very ‘brown’!! It wouldn’t take much to bring it into the 21st century

Not enough time
I didn’t realise it was right beside the racecourse at Ayre. It was a superb venue easy walk into the town plenty of parking and I’m not one for usually promoting weather spoons West Kirk pub in Ayre had been a church and just for a look well worth a visit.

Western House Ayr
The main hotel with reception is lovely, beautiful fountain outside the main entrance. Lovely staff :-) My room was in a separate more modern building, very clean and fresh but no lift to the first floor where i was located. Very spacious room, good size bathroom with desk space to work. Extra blankets and pillows were available, as was iron and board, and a proper hairdryer!

Great location and the food is second to none
Stayed in one of the annexes just a short walk from the main hotel which overlooks Ayr racecourses. I had a king size bed all to myself and the room was nice and clean and well kept. I ate at the main restaurant and the food was excellent. They even spoilt me with a complimentary amuse bouche which was amazing! Hats off to the chef. The food bill was very reasonable as well for the quality and portion size. Would definitely stay there again.

Lovely stay
Lovely hotel next to the racecourse. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, My father is in a wheelchair and had an accessible room which was well appointed and comfortable. We ate our evening meal in the restaurant and it was excellent and good value. We were there to meet family and we all met up and had morning coffee, all lovely and the lounge area was very good. Perfect for a small reunion and catch up. Thank you

Good location.
We have stayed at Western House on several occasions as it is very convenient for us when visiting relatives and friends. The hotel is in a beautiful location and the grounds are beautifully looked after. Parking is easy.

Rooms have excellent sound proofing. Front of house and restaurant teams were excellent. Because of wedding breakfast was a buffet rather than table service but not too much of a problem. Only slight gripe was ventilation in the bathroom whereby shower steam made it virtually impossible to see and had the impact of setting off in room fire alarm - however all dealt with quickly and by friendly staff. Great parking and lovely hotel
