3 nights in Ayr

Lovely flat with classic furnishings and everything travelers want and need. Owners were responsive and helpful. Easy travel to beach and short walks to city venues. Location is very urban with predictable affordances and minor challenges.

Lovely overnight stay!

We hadn’t a lovely time on our night away staying in your apartment. It was supposed to be the evening with my bridesmaids before my wedding but my fiancé and I decided to keep the booking and enjoyed some rare us time looking forward to our postponed nuptials. We enjoyed local food and some time down at the beach before our relaxing evening in. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Why they chose this property

Adjacent to the town hall, the apartment can’t get any more central. It’s a stones throw away from shops, bars, restaurants and the River Ayr. The beach is a 5 minute walk away, and the Citadel leisure centre at the harbour side, is only a couple of minutes up the road. You can enjoy and experience all that Ayr has to offer with ease.

Furthermore, Mary Queen of Scots stayed in Loudoun Hall in 1563 – the building situated in an open courtyard, which the kitchen overlooks. It offer fabulous views of the sunsets over the Isle of Arran. The town hall is on show from the living room too. Depending on the time of year, the town hall hosts concerts, orchestra performances and other shows.
