suggest a B&B in Ayr or Girvan?

Hi,

we are having a bit of road trip next month (hight of summer sun shine

)
and booked a couple of B&B's already for Dumfries and Newton Stewart

we are struggling a bit trying to fine somewhere for a night or two in Ayr or possibly Girvan

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know

Think we might have a night in Carlisle on the way back as well but not even looked at there yet

TIA

I can recommend Brooklands in Penrith for your journey south - service and breakfast is great, even if the rooms are a bit fussy (ie loads of cushions everywhere etc).

IMHO both Girvan and Carlisle are best avoided - other than a visit to Thomas Grahams in Carlisle (best hide your wallet though)! Currently 2009 Disco 3 SE, 2013 MY D4 HSE and 2016 D4 SE

110 V8 CSW (220k)

Try the Braidmead in Irvine

James is a great host, house is very clean and well run, and looked after the family very well on my dad’s funeral. I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Hi,

thanks both

I have emailed Braidmead for prices but they may be a bit to far up but

Brooklands may be an option on the way back home, Never slept in a four poster

not taking swmbo to TG's she would come out with a new hedge trimmer or something

2010 Discovery 4 5.0 V8 HSE Auto Nara Bronze

I stayed here a couple of nights several years back - very simple and 1970s but I think it was fine for the price, and nice being smack on the sea-front. Also close to shops in nearby streets.
I hope you get fixed-up

Hi,

we have not got Ayr sorted yet

friends want to go a bit nearer Falkirk

as they plan on going to see the Kelpies before heading back south, we will leave them for another trip.

we have got Carlisle sorted mind, going to the Crown hotel at Wetheral as I can hopefully visit Mike Barry's vintage bikes at Scaleby, swmbo looking forward to that
