Woodland Bay Hotel

The so-called hotel was recommended to us and as we were travelling, I'll admit we didn't do our research. While we expected that we might get a bite to eat when we arrived at around 7.30pm, we were told there was no restaurant or bar onsite but were casually told we'd probably get something in nearby Girvan. It was a Tuesday night and we had already driven through the town and noted everything was closed. We were reduced to bread and cheese from a supermarket. Apparently, there was a restaurant onsite but it closed last year. The place is a glorified motel and the name should be changed not to catch the unwary. The room was well equipped with a little kitchenette and even some food but there were a few cleaning issues and a torn curtain in our room. Be careful which room you're allocated as some of them are right beside the busy A road leading to the ferry, so you can expect traffic noise late into the night.

Travelling to Ireland so spent a night here. Fourth visit and all have been very good. Evening meal was good with big choice and breakfast was hearty. Excellent location, clean rooms and friendly staff. Highly recommend this eating venue.

A well thought out room with kitchenette providing excellent facilities. Spotlessly clean and well maintained.

Lovely roomy sea-view 'premium' en-suite room with small kitchenette unit (small oven-microwave, fridge, sink, toaster) and the makings of a 'continental' breakfast left in the room. Eating out options are all in Girvan or further afield (Austins Restaurant in Girvan was fine). Being a sea front room the road noise from the A77 could be a bit much, but it was quiet enough at night. The two staff we dealt with were both helpful and friendly.

It’s important for travellers to know that the hotel restaurant has been closed for quite a while and there is NO cooked breakfast available. Breakfast consists of croissants wrapped in plastic, boxes of cereal, milk, instant coffee, all consumed in your room. TRIPADVISOR needs to revise its write up on the hotel to reflect current reality. This is not a hotel; you have a collection of rental rooms with housekeeping service. It’s located in a lonely and remote place.

Lovely large rooms in an nice area in Scotland but without the bar and the restaurant it's very average. They offered us a continental breakfast but that's in your own room. Very expensive for what you get. Ask if we could speak to the manager, never showed up. Very poor communication.

Good place to stop over, lack of bar restaurant meant driving into the town for food, but a large selection of food provided for breakfast in the room

A great hotel with very nice rooms with great facilities, very clean and a great addition the small kitchenette in the rooms. A good simple menu done to a great standard and good value. Friendly staff and good Service. One negative the room was just a tad expensive. but overall very Nice and hopefully i will be back.

Excellent & spacious room, lovely big bed, modern bathroom. Breakfast cooked to order, spot on. Handy location just set back from main road, across which is a small beach. The little kitchenette area made the"can't be bothered to go out again this evening, let's shop at the local supermarket and eat in" practical
