The Burnside Guest House — Hotel in Great Britain

It was the breakfast options which first drew us to Burnside, so let’s begin there. I love scrambled egg with smoked salmon, so was thrilled to see this on the menu. And the pancakes appealed to my husband. Neither disappointed. We were offered a choice of three different times for breakfast - they are keeping the groups at breakfast small in this Covid era, with the tables well spaced. ||But of course for other guests, the breakfast is not the only thing you may want to take into account! Arriving on a Sunday afternoon when it was very busy all along the seafront, we were still able to get a park across the street from Burnside; it was a simple process for Paul to write us out a parking permit to display while we were staying there.||Room 3 was great - a large room with a pleasant space to sit and relax right in the bay window. The ensuite shower room also benefited from natural light flooding in through a large stained glass window at the front of the property. ||The wifi worked well - in fact we were able to watch the All Blacks v Springboks rugby match while sitting in the bay window late in the evening, which was a treat.||The bed was comfortable and the street quiet at night. There is an extra single bed in Room 3, should you be travelling with three of you. We were within easy walking distance of the town and of a number of different dining options so we didn’t need to use the car at all. Lots...

The Burnside is a welcoming guest house with very clean, well appointment rooms. The host, Paul, is friendly and accommodating, and it was a pleasure to chat with him. My room had a separate bathroom right next door on the top floor, which wasn't a problem. The shower is excellent. The family room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. I stayed for two nights and chose to have breakfast. The available selection was good and cooked breakfast was very tasty. The location of the guest house is ideal for being close to town and the beach. There is permit parking outside, and I was given a free permit for the duration of my stay. I would certainly recommend this property for your...

Used to live in Ayr so know the area well. Have been coming to The Burnside for over 10 years, great location near the seafront and shops and restaurants in town all walkable.||Have stayed in most of the rooms over the years first time in room 5 at the very top of the house. Cosy with nice views of the Isle of Arran over the roofs of the houses opposite. Decent parking with permit provided, peaceful street.||Very nice breakfast menu choice, good value for £7.50 paid in addition to room rate, nicely prepared.||Great stay with new owner, thanks for...
