Had the pleasure of eating at this restaurant last weekend, and it was exceptional. We had booked a table and we were shown to our table by a very polite and cheery gentleman. The service we received from the staff was brilliant. The menu was huge and had alot to offer and the food was delicious with large portions. The... More

Just returned after a two night stay with the family.

We were down in Ayr for an evening wedding reception at a different hotel but decided to stay at The Chestnuts for a wee bit of nostalgia (we stayed there years ago). They had a great offer on (£60.00) 2 people B & B. We had a bar meal the night we arrived and it was delicious - scampi and... More

Stayed for the weekend and by time we left we felt like we knew all staff and some locals too. A real gem, warm, welcoming with great rooms, lovely food, busy bar and staff who are willing to go the extra mile to make your stay.
