Stayed Friday and Sataurday night, enjoyed two lovely meals in nice surroundings, rooms were clean and tidy, bathroom was a bit small but the shower was powerfull and in good working order. The hotel was well situated and had easy access into Ayr town centre either by car or local buses. I would definately stay at this hotel again.

We stayed for two nights at the Chestnut Hotel as part of a working trip in the area, and will stay there again if ever we return to the region. Our single rooms were small but well-kept and more than adequate, and the hotel itself was very picturesque. What really makes it stand out was the staff who together were... More

The hotel is really easy to find and pulling into the driveway of The Chestnuts we were very impressed with the building and wonderfully maintained garden so it was disappointing to find our bedroom was quite average. The bathroom was a lovely tiled, modern room but the shower was unusable. There is a sign up saying it will take 5... More

We spent four nights at The Chestnuts hotel and would not go back. There seems to an air of arrogance and smugness in that the attitude is one of 'we are doing you a favour letting you stay'. There is a complacency about the accommodation which is below the standard I am happy to pay £80 a night for. The... More

I travelled with three friends for a weekend's golf at the beautifully indescribable Turnberry Golf Links. This was our sixth year of making this trip and, as in each previous year, we stayed at Chestnuts, only a short drive from Turnberry. Chestnuts never fails to impress. The welcoming staff are consistently friendly without being intrusive; they're there when you need... More

I eat at Chesnuts often and have never once been disappointed. The food is phenomenal and service is outstanding. I have to recommend the steak pie, it's like no other! If I could afford to eat here every night, I would! Top marks!

My husband took me here for a meal prior to going on holiday, the atmosphere was great and a lovely big fire glowing, the meal was delicious and catered for all tastes. The menu is varied and the food comes piping hot and lots of it. Its always very busy and that says a lot about a place.

We live just a couple of miles from The Chestnuts and this is where family members have most of our birthday dinners and where my wife and I generally go for those impromptu Friday night can't-be-bothered-cooking, straight-from-the-office meals. Staff are polite, friendly and professional at all times, Grant and Hilary we consider friends and the food is just superb every... More

You can eat either in the bar or the restaurant. The menu is the same in both. The staff are friendly and very efficient. The owner, Grant, is almost always there. The menu is varied. There are plenty of pub style items like lasange and scampy and chips but there are many restaurant type items and the chef is very... More
