We recently stayed at Gowanbank House at the start of a tour of Scotland.Our room was exceptionally large and Isabel and Willie were genuinely welcoming hosts. We would not hesitate to recommend their B&B.

Gowanbank House B&B was clean and friendly, and the little extras like the fresh milk and the complementary home made cakes were lovely. The Morton twin room that we stayed in was very clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble for Willie & Isabel. We would certainly visit Gownabank again and have no problem... More

I stayed at the Gowanbank the in May when I was attending the Darvel Blues Festival. The hospitality was second to none. Attention to detail amazing... freshly baked cakes sitting in the top landing on arrival. Nothing was too much bother for Isabel and Willie. I will definitely be booking again for next year.

This was our 2nd time staying at Gowanbank House. It is a beautiful house and we were made to feel most welcome again by both Isabel & Willie. The rooms are spotless and the breakfast is delicious. There are always fresh home-baked cakes left on the landing also, for you to help yourself to whenever you want - and these... More

Thanks, Isabel and Willie for a lovely stay in your beautiful house. There's not a lot of places that Ron and I say we would go back to stay but this is most definitely one we will return to! The welcome we received for this (very) last minute break was something we had never experienced before, room was spotless and... More

This business is situated overlooking the A761 road with excellent views across the Irvine Valley. A warm welcome, personal service, attention to detail and a breakfast to die for were all features of our stay. The house was immaculate. We certainly recommend it and will have no problem in recommending friends or family to stay there when in this part... More

My wife and I recently stayed at Gowanbank House for two nights. The accommodation, breakfasts and friendly, helpful service were, as ever, absolutely first class. This was our fourth pstay and it certainly wont be our last. Willie and Isabel are superb hosts and excellent ambassadors for bonnie Scotland.
