10/10 Excellent
"Very helpful and pleasant owners who went over and above to help with securing elusive taxis to the ferry terminal. The room was clean and comfortable and the shower was great. Parking very convenient and free. I would highly recommend this b&b."

Woodland Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here while attending a wedding at the nearby Trump Turnberry hotel. The hotel is a short 15-minute drive from Turnberry and right on the coast road with fantastic views. The hotel has an ample car park and spacious rooms. We found the rooms perfect for our 1-night stay. Included in the room rate are various cold breakfast items like cereals, croissaints, ham in the fridge, fruit yougarts, milk for making tea/coffee. I would not hesitate to recommend this superb hotel."
