Excellent food, lovely setting for a leisurely lunch on a summers day, However service could be much more professional and efficient. Waited 40 minutes between courses, staff run of their feet and harassed and forgot the basics of smiling and being pleasant to the paying customers. Clearly short staffed to save money and that is poor management to blame and... More

Our room was on the small side but very tastefully furnished and although only double size the bed was very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast selection excellent. We dined in on our first night and had a lovely meal that was not overly expensive. I visit Ayr regularly on business and will certainly come back to... More

Went for a late lunch and had a nice time and the food was good. My only complaint was that they had obviously had a very busy lunch service and the manageress was so busy getting staff to clean and reset tables for dinner that both ourselves and the table next to us we're neglected with staff so busy they...

Ellisland is a large upmarket B and B owned by the Costley Group that is furnished to a high standard with excellent dining facilities. Upon arrival we were upgraded, I think because we were a couple, to a large dual aspect double room. The room and bathroom were both spotless and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Minor... More

A group of friends used this hotel when going to a wedding in it's sister hotel The Brig O' Doon as it was fully booked. It would have to be the most picky of person who could find fault with this hotel, on arrival the grounds are well cared for and our first impression was backed up by our welcome... More

I visited Ellisland for dinner for a family celebration. As it was the week before christmas our booking was for an early time of 5.30pm. Due to the early time we were the only diners in the restaurant, however, did not feel self conscious with the staff being attentive whilst not being over the top. The food was delicious, I... More

I stayed here for 2 nights in December 2011, my second visit to the Ellisland and the experience was similar on both occasions and very enjoyable. The house is beautiful with wood panelling in the dining area, open (gas) fires and attractive furnishings and wall art. The bedrooms are tastefully furnished with spacious en-suite facilities, some with showers only and... More
