From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and well cared for. The team went out of their way to accommodate every request, always with kindness and professionalism. The room was beautifully designed—inviting and comfortable - while the bathroom felt upscale, with high-quality fixtures and heavenly-scented toiletries. The on-site restaurant served excellent food, and it was clear that attention to detail runs through every part of the hotel. The small, thoughtful gestures from the staff made our stay feel truly personal and memorable.

If I had to mention something, the only minor detail that comes to mind is that the corridor had a slightly odd smell at times - but such a small thing in an otherwise 10/10 flawless stay.

The hotel was clean and quiet. Although it did not have its own private car park there was a large free public car park to the rear of the hotel and plenty of free on street parking. The room was small but well appointed with a large comfortable bed, a wardrobe and drawers each side of the bed. The bathroom was good with a shower and plenty of free toiletries. Although our room looked out in to the street there was no noise through the night. To the rear of the hotel was a large walled garden with seating and tables. This was a very pleasant place to eat or drink. The staff were helpful and courteous at all times.

Honestly there was nothing about this hotel that we did not like. We would happily go back again.

The hotel exceeded expectation. Room was large and clean with sufficient space for storage of golf clubs. En Suite had large walk-in shower and was perfect to get everything dried after a soaking on the links. As the hotel only has 4 rooms, the staff were able to provide a level of service that you would not get at a larger chain. The food served in the restaurant was excellent, both breakfast and dinner. The restaurant can get busy at times with locals. We had dinner all 5 nights of our stay and did not exhaust our choice of options.

There is no car park attached to the hotel, but there is a free public car park at the rear. We managed to park on the road at the front of the hotel every day. The hotel is on the main road and can be noisy with the window open. Hot water in the shower was not instant and needed a fine adjustment to get the correct temperature when is did come through.

The room was clean and comfortable, I asked for a room with a bath and my room was switched right away with no fuss to allow this. All the staff were cheerful, friendly and knowledgeable and although staying and eating alone, I think especially for a woman, can be an awkward experience this was made easier and more comfortable because the staff were so kind and welcoming. The food was also absolutely delicious, I had dinner on both nights and it was simply stunning. All over, a very comfortable and enjoyable stay, thanks to all the staff at The Fariburn.

Such a wonderful little hotel, great access to all Mauchline offers (not much but enough!), everything was tidy and well decorated. The staff were all wonderful and very accommodating for all the little bits asked. In terms of dining, the amount of gluten free food on offer for all meal times was absolutely brilliant.

My only niggle was the amount of traffic noise through the night when staying in one of the rooms at the front face of the hotel, not the quiet road it looked like it could be! However, the hotel is clearly aware of this and very kindly had foam earplugs as one of the complimentary items offered in the room, not much else to be done from their end. Just make sure to have some noise cancellers if you're a light sleeper. 👍

Staff were very friendly, helpful and were always on hand. The room was clean and comfortable and a reasonable size. I had a steak for dinner that was cooked perfectly and reasonably priced. The two girls did a fantastic job running the bar and restaurant as well as attending to all other guest's requests. Their friendliness and attention was exceptional. Breakfast was very good and everything was reasonably priced . I had a great stay there

The hotel is situated right on a main road so there was a bit of traffic noise but this didn't impact the stay at all. By lights out time the road was quiet and I slept very well with no disturbance

This is a delightful small hotel with outstanding service. Every staff member was friendly, helpful and attentive; quite exceptional service. We really felt very comfortable and at home in this hotel. The restaurant meals were excellent and we really enjoyed our breakfast. The room was small but very comfortable. The location is great for Ayrshire - and perfect for us as we were visiting relatives nearby. Highly recommended.

Nothing.

Great all round stay. The location was good for a baton competition in Cumnock. We enjoyed the. Food and drink on our first night, The room has everything we needed, was clean comfortable and quiet and we managed to get breakfast before leaving for day 2. I rarely book breakfast in advance for these trips as they rarely serve it early enough, but a combination of the location and a 7.30 breakfast meant a very happy mum. I would definitely book this place again. ,

Nothing

The staff were really friendly and helpful; definitely the best thing about this hotel. The decor was a good mix of contemporary and country, and everywhere was clean. A good breakfast at a reasonable price. Plenty of parking available.

The main problem was the noise in the bedroom - there is zero sound proofing, so I could hear every slight noise from neighbouring bedrooms, the corridor, and the road. From other reviews, I was aware this could be a problem, and made sure there was no planned music in the bar, as I expect that would have been unbearable. Minor feedbacks would also be the very unpleasant smell in the stairwell. The bathroom also had a drain smell. Whilst the evening meal was nice, I thought it was little too expensive for what it was.

We were staying overnight due to a family wedding. Staff very welcoming and accommodating, couldn’t do enough for you. A very professional service. The room was lovely and clean, bed was very comfortable I slept like a baby. Tea and coffee, toiletries, a “make up face towel” and spa style slippers! Breakfast was fresh, tasted perfectly fine we had the Scottish breakfast. Lovely bar area, everything was just super chilled to be honest. We were also staying at the same time as one of my cousins whose room was next door and we both said we will use this as a base when visiting family for sure. The price is very reasonable, lovely touch having a name to each room. Thank you for a lovely stay.
