We only realised there was an electric fan at the back of the cupboard as we were leaving ๐Ÿ™„. The staff were nice and the parking was plentiful. Well located at the Ayr end of the high street and not too far from the beach. The breakfast was very tasty and they offered a good range. Overall we were very happy with our stay."
