My son and I stopped in for lunch today and we were far from disappointed. The girls serving behind the bar and the tables are lovely and very welcoming. The food was 1st class and arrived efficiently and is very reasonably priced. Absolute wee gem of a place

Perfect for a night at Troon and right across from the ferry terminal. Bed was brand new and rooms are being refurbished. Rooms are above a really lovely typical Scottish bar restaurant with fire place etc. The owner was very hospitable and friendly and breakfast was massive. Coffee was great

Overnight in the harbour car park in our motorhome. Short walk over the hill, to the anchorage and the harbour bars. We have eaten in both, food was excellent and great portions. Staff helpful and attentive. Warm welcome and very dog friendly. We will be back!
