Really lovely stay

I was really surprised at how lovely this hotel is. My room was delightful , all the staff in each department were excellent. I will defiantly stay here again
Sheila, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Stayed over a busy weekend of Horse Racing, with Ayr Racecourse directly accessible. Stayed within the hotel, as opposed to the courtyard. Big room, bug bathroom, had a substantial breakfast and chose to dine on the Friday night. Found the dining experience to be excellent. Staff are top notch too, very friendly with nothing too much trouble for the team. Top marks
Ian, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Good hotel

Lovely place, good quality. Just two points 1) signage in car park and to reception needs to be improved 2) breakfast was slow coming, and if delay was due to kitchen being busy it would have been nice to know as we felt as if forgotten
Caroline, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The booking profile is very misleading. It only shows the main building, which is an attractive and classy building. I expected to be staying there. However, the hotel rooms are in 2 blocks of very poor quality and unappealing decor which I wouldn't even consider to be up to the quality of a Travelodge. The rooms were basic with stained carpet, although the bed was comfortable. My daughters were staying in a different hotel in the centre of Ayr which was absolutely beautiful and much cheaper than the Western, which I feel is overpriced for what it is.

Stairs to top corridor where our room was. No lift. My husband is 82 and no offer to carry suitcase up.
Alison, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The location was excellent. The outside of the building within the rooms in it seemed a bit rundown, but the actual rooms were newly updated and very clean and spacious. There were lovely towels and a robe and slippers. The bed was very comfortable. There was a kettle with coffee and tea and shortbread cookies at the bedside. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, I was very impressed and highly recommend this hotel.

The whole set up was both welcoming and very professional. The Western House Hotel was the last stop on our 7-night stay and was the best of our experiences. I would highly recommend this property

Have stayed many times at this hotel, but there is a worrying trend of getting rid of baths in rooms and installing showers, a lot of people love s bath !
