The hotel impresses guests with its exceptional cleanliness, ideal location near the train station and seafront, delicious and varied breakfast options, and exceptionally friendly and helpful staff.

Booked lunch for 5 . Staff initially pleasant but not very engaging. Starters nice however asked for additional plate as my wife cannot eat a full starter and main meal, plate never arrived. Main course arrived and my sons burger was advertised as having a breoch bun when it arrived it was a normal bun with sesame seeds which he is allergic to, complained and was offered a replacement however he was really put off and didn't want anything else. Portions where large and food was fine, waited at least 20 mins for plates to be cleared and eventually had to ask for this and the bill. Bill had to be asked for on 2 separate occasions. Just b4 plates where cleared it was noticed that the bread on one of our dishes was mouldy. This was passed on to waiting staff, who apologised but too little too late. Staff did not smile at any time not very welcoming. Whilst sitting in the car park a kitchen staff member exited and went straight to the bin with at least 4 loaves that where mouldy, very poor stock rotation or ordering. Would never return or recommend to anyone and was extremely overpriced for what I would consider nothing more than average food.

Dropped in for a bite to eat and a few drinks. The outside terrace was a great place to sit on a glorious sunny afternoon with a good selection of drinks available from the bar. We went for the 2 course menu offer when eating and have to admit that this was tremendous value for money. Starters, mains and desserts were all exceptional quality and well presented. Special mention to the staff who were available at all times and provided a great level of service. Highly recommend this establishment if you're in the vicinity of Ardrossan South Beach.
