Just returned from a 2 night stay! Loved this B&B and would reccomend anyone who visits Ayr to stay here. Rooms were bright and modern, lots of attention to detail. Loved the basket in the cupboard which had a little hairdryer, wee straighteners etc. The toiletries provided were also of a high standard. Breakfast in the morning was lovely, and... More

I stayed here recently with a group of 8 friends and have to say it was great from start to finish. I stayed in a single room (room 2) on the top floor and the room was bright, modern, clean and had everything you could possibly want for your stay. There was a great attention to detail in what was... More

We have just returned from a wonderful 3 nights stay at bythesea. What a wonderful bed and breakfast. Our welcome as we arrived was warm and friendly and this hospitality continued right throughout our stay. The B&B is a short walk from the town centre, which offers a great choice of bars, pubs and restaurants and is even a shorter... More

Just spent the night in what can only be described as a superb B&B in Ayr. The room was extremely comfortable with little touches that are indicative of a desire to ensure that guests have a pleasurable experience. Breakfast was amazing, there was no need for food before evening. For the price paid, Bythesea was exceptional value for money.

I grew up by the sea in Wellington, New Zealand and I believe nothing revives you more than a good deep breath of salty sea air in your lungs. By the sea B&B offers this in unlimited quantities, just one street back from the beachfront and you couldn't find a friendlier host than Julie. I stayed in room number 2... More

Stayed in room 2 in the attic. Clean, well equipped but small with a very low angled ceiling. Any one on one side of the bed risks a headache if they sit up ! Also the desk is unusable due to ceiling height and we banged heads on the bathroom door. No mention of this low ceiling on the website.... More

Dear Paul We are so sorry your stay was not to your satisfaction. Unfortunately we didn't find out any of this until you reviewed us. Regarding the sloping ceiling in one of our attic rooms we have never had any previous complaints but thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are disappointed you felt unable to discuss this... More

Spotlessly clean. Very comfortable, well maintained and stylish B&B. Would like to have reason to return to stay again. Our room was spacious with a very comfortable bed and easily a good size if a family room had been needed. Stylish soft furnishings with a real eye for attention to detail. Nice large shower in the ensuite. Generous cooked breakfast... More

We returned from Bythesea this morning and would have liked to stay longer! We booked a three night stay and were very impressed. The family room that we occupied was extremely well appointed and spacious, light and airy with heavy dark curtains which were useful on the bright sunny mornings that we experienced. The bathroom housed a large shower and... More

This is a fantastic place to stay! The room I had was roomy and well decorated and quite comfortable. I was impressed that the room had among other amenities a small electric fan. Though Ayr doesn't usually get warm enough to use one it's good to have in the room. The entire hotel was very clean. The breakfast was cooked... More
