Reviews for Beaches
Review 1：Fantastic location, excellent facilities and Jan the owner was fantastic. We will be back a few times in the incoming year. The food was 5 star just like everything else.
Review 2：There was nothing to dislike.
Review 3：Jan, the owner is very welcoming and friendly. We were offered tea and some of her delicious home made shortbread when we arrived. There was also some in our room to enjoy later. The room and facilities were first class and spotless. Breakfast was lovely although we were unable to take full advantage as my husband was ill and we had to curtail our stay. However we will be back when we next visit Ayr and would recommend it to anyone.
Review 4：There wasn't anything not to like
Review 5：Everything was pretty much perfect. The bed was really comfortable, the homemade shortbread very moreish and probably the best poached eggs I have ever had.
Review 6：Jan does a fab brekkie and thinks of everything you could possibly need with little extras in the bedrooms. The top bedroom with the bay window is well worth booking, it's stunning (even in bad weather!).

Review 14：The beaches is great place, a little gem, would highly recommend this place and Jan is very welcoming. Breakfast was fantastic and loved the home made shortbread in the room.
Review 15：Always had to be careful not to stand up too quickly at the sink due to the slightly low celing at the corner of the bathroom. But otherwise great.
Review 16：Love the location, easily accessible to town! Jan is a lovely and accomodating lady, makes you comfortable and at ease. Love the personal touches of homemade shortbread and jams. Spotlessly clean. Very comfy bed, would have love to take the bed home with me! Excellent breakfast choices. Certainly one of the best B&B I have stayed in so far.
Review 17：Jan (owner) was very warm, welcoming and helpful. The room was extremely well finished and the 'extras' (fridge, microwave etc) a bonus. Huge enormous see you through to lunch and beyond breakfast. The homemade shortbread is reason enough in its own right to visit!
Review 18：What could you not like about this little gem in the west? The room was superb. The little extras were gratefully appreciated and Jan was an exceptional host. Just a short walk into town but make sure you are back to enjoy the sunset.
Review 19：Bathroom a wee bit cramped but otherwise no complaints at all.
Review 20：Really welcoming staff. Rooms are warm, comfortable and spotless. Generous supply of tea, coffee etc. Fridge in the room. Good location. Top rate little hotel.
Review 21：Everything! Location excellent, lovely breakfast, extremely comfortable bed, tastefully decorated and furnished throughout, attention to detail, lots of thoughtful little touches to make your stay special - and a superb host.
Review 22：Everything!, the staff are really friendly and helpful, the room was very clean and well set up, it backs onto the beach, only 5 mins walk to the main street and the included breakfast is cooked to order and all for a good price.
Review 23：The guest house is very tastefully decorated and the proprietor Jan just lovely and friendly food and cleanliness first class and we were welcomed with home made shortbread just out the oven and a nice pot of freshly brewed coffee. Our room for three was very spacious and extremely comfortable will definitely visit again x
Review 24：There's nothing not to like as everything was Magnificent.
Review 25：" Everything " from when you check in until the day you leave. Jan the owner is absolutely FANTASTIC and of course not to forget the homemade shortbread and the scrumptious breakfast.Both me and my wife Alice will definitely be ruturning again.
Review 26：Located in a central location within a short walk from the town centre, restaurants, harbour and beach. On arrival I was given a warm and friendly welcome which continued for my stay. Property and room was exceptionally clean and tidy. Managed to get my car parked outside and visible from my room which was a bonus.
Review 27：Wonderful place to stay! We would have liked to stay longer. Very friendly and welcoming, delicious homemade shortbread and great breakfast. Have recommended to family and friends.
Review 28：Stayed in superior room with a sea view which was absolutely luxurious with a beautiful large en-suite. The room has a super king sized comfortable bed. Jan the owner is a lovely bubbly friendly host and her breakfasts are amazing. Can't say any negatives about this bed and breakfast and we would certainly go back again. There was so much detail in our room from the home made shortbread, jar of toffees, binoculars to look out to sea, to the cotton wool pads, cotton buds and shampoos etc in our en-suite. Jan has thought of everything. The house is very clean, modern and very tastefully decorated with a lovely garden which is very near the beach.
Review 29：Absolutely nothing.
Review 30：Jan, our lady-owner went way beyond any normal expectations and was more like a relative than a landlady. We arrived too early to book in but, unfazed, she brought us coffee and her lovely shortbread to our comfortable, spacious room, which, despite being early was ready and waiting for us. She is a special lady with a special guest house.
Review 31：Nothing
Review 32：Thoroughly recommend this beautiful B & B. Nothing to fault. Jan the owner was very friendly and welcoming. Her homemade shortbread was a winner with the hubby. The room was impeccable and tastefully decorated. Its a home from home.

Review 36：Upstairs room was magnificent - top class fittings, furniture & large. View. One of best rooms ever stayed in. Jan was very friendly & helpful. Great breakfast.
Review 37：This place is absolutely brilliant. Jan and her daughter couldn't do enough for us. We stayed in the twin room with kitchen and found the tin of homemade shortbread pretty quickly!! Wow, it was yummy!! The bathroom had lovely white fluffy towels and lots of nice toiletries. Fab decor!! Beds were comfortable. And the breakfast was plentiful. You'll not be disappointed staying here!!
Review 38：Fantastic in every way from the expected (Spotlessly clean, great breakfast) to the little extras (oodles of home made shortbread in the room) to the ad hoc unexpected (teaching the girlfriend to make a poached egg). Jan is great fun. This is simply as good as B&B's get
