We have stayed here a good few times both as a couple and as a family with the kids and each time the rooms have been spotless. The decor is cute and fresh, the rooms have everything you would need for a short stay, beds are reasonably comfortable. Staff are great and very accommodating, house keepers made sure we had everything we needed like extra clean towels ECT. Very accommodating for a later check out which we appreciated. The location is great, really close to the beach. I have yet to be disappointed and would highly recommend for both couples and families.
The shower was a tad smaller than what I like but still doable, a lock on the toilet door would have been great too.

Great location to Irvin town centre, and local restaurants, pub and cafes, very clean and extremely comfortable bed which was my worry at first but I actually looked to see what the mattress brand was as we both slept like a baby! The pillows were bouncy and so was the duvet, there was everything you needed as well as a fridge! And the bathroom was spotless.
We stayed in room 1 and the only thing that was a bit frustrating being winter there’s no heating in the bathroom but the bedroom was boiling we had to leave the bathroom door open to let the heat from the bedroom warm it up otherwise a shower would have been uncomfortable but it wasn’t a huge issue the heat from the bedroom warmed it up with in about half hour.

This is the second time I've stayed here which says a lot! The accomodation is in a great location overlooking the harbour. Few mi Utes walk to beach and plenty places to eat and drink on the doorstep. 10 mins walk into town centre. The room I was in was clean and very comfortable and nice ensuite. The room benefited from a fridge and microwave as wee as the usual tea and coffee facilities. I was with a friend who stayed in the room next door to me. He thoroughly enjoyed his stay as well. I will stay here again.
The motion sensor light in the lobby only stayed on for seconds so went off before I could even get my key in the lock. Had to keep moving to keep it on.

Everything about this property was spot on. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were beautifully decorated. Beds were comfy , bathroom was a bit tight in the family room but by no means anything to put you off. We took over most of the rooms as a family and we were all really pleased with the rooms. Great location. Lovely walk along to the beach one way and a walk to Irvine town centre the other. There are great places to eat nearby, too. Gro and Niche were really good for breakfast.

We stayed here for 2 nights & the value for money was fab. We stayed on the ground floor with a sea view, the room was clean & comfortable. The lady that was doing the housekeeping was so friendly & nothing was a problem. The location was great, we enjoyed eating out at Duncan's Bar & Bistro, GRO & The Ship inn. The ice cream parlour a short walk from the guest house was also a bit special, unfortunately I forget the name. Overall it was a great few days away & I hope to return again soon. Well done to all involved in the guest house, keep up the good work. 👍👏
Overall there is nothing I could fault. Would highly recommend.

The room was very clean and cosy, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was big and very clean. Lovely area, pub/restaurant next door, and it easy to check in and out. The room is equipped with a fridge, microwave, kettle, and a hair dryer.
The shower was horrendous it was either too hot or too cold, very outdated, and let's the room down. Also, the TV was on the wall but at the side of the bed and too high, making it uncomfortable to watch. These are the only 2 points that let the room down.

Although I was travelling alone, the Family room was huge plenty of space and everything you could need. If staying with others the two singles are in a separate room for privacy, each room with a TV and the whole room having microwave, kettle and a fridge which were so handy. It was bright and exceptionally clean with amazing views of the harbour.
The only feedback I have, the double mattress could do with replacing not the comfiest seems a bit worn could hear the springs a lot when turning and felt a bit empty but did not impact my sleep or my stay at all

There was an easy check in process. The room was a good size, clean and with good facilities ( fridge and microwave). The private bathroom was a good size with and electric shower. The location was excellent, the street was quite and we had no problems parking.
It would have been good to have some nets on the window as it was at street level and people walked past could look in.

Great kerb appeal.The room was lovely and although on the ground floor, we had a view of the harbour. It was very quiet, no street noise. It was very clean and beautifully decorated throughout.Although we visited 9th October and the temperature was colder the room was lovely and warm. It was always a pleasure to get back to the Guest House. It was in a lovely part of Irvine, Harbourside, with a few places to eat and have a drink. A short walk into the town shopping centre where there is plenty of parking if you choose to drive. Parking at the Guest House is on street or across the other side near the harbour. No breakfast at the Guest house, which we were aware of.(we walked to The Auld Brig/Wetherspoons for breakfast). The room had tea and coffee making facilities, a fridge and microwave. The proprietor, Andrew is a lovely young man and Housekeeper, Joyce was so friendly and helpful. We will stay there again.
There was nothing we didn't like. The only negative thing was that the bathroom had no heating, which was not a problem for us but may be uncomfortable as the temperatures fall over the next few months.
