comments My wife and I were delighted with the service at the Gailes hotel, the rooms were spotless and the staff were all polite and excellent at there jobs, and, they were all smart. We, if to be picky, would say that the drinks at the bar were very expensive which to be honest left us wishing that there was a pub nearby that we could walk to that would be cheaper. We would have gladly stayed another night but it would have cost us an extra £79 as the deal we had was from Monday to Friday. We also had on arrival a bottle of water and apples waiting for us in our room. Th breakfast was second to none whether you had cerial or full cooked breakfast. I would without a doubt re book next year if the bar prices were not as high, Overall fantastic stay.

We ate in the restaurant on one of our nights stay and the food was excellent so was the Scottish breakfast each morning. The staff were all very friendly and very helpvul, we thank all the staff that contributed to our wonderful weekend.

comments We had a family room for two nights. Apart from the duvet not quite fitting the largewr bed, the room was clean and comfortable. The food / breakfast was very good, the staff were some of the best I have dealt with in a long time in terms of customers service. The only thing I was really missing was a room listening service to have made the most of the hotel after bed time. Very Good.

comments We booked to stay at Gailes Hotel Irvine at short notice (I think the evening before) because we wanted to travel to Arren the following day. I was travelling with my family from Japan and of the five hotels we stayed at during our visit (all about the same rate) this was the best. We stayed in a family room even though my children are just 2 and 4 because it was a similar price to a city hotel we had booked in Stirling the following night. It was very spacious and comfortable and the staff were super helpful. I was happy to be able to use wireless Internet for free which was an additional cost elsewhere and this allowed us to book the ferry the next morning. As the mid-morning ferry was fully booked we needed to leave early and thought we would miss breakfast, but breakfast was arranged for us at 6am and we received a friendly welcome for it. The breakfast itself (though we skipped a fry-up) was great! There are no shops or restaurants near the hotel but the location is pretty and the food in the hotel restaurant was delicious so I wouldn't ahave wanted to eat anywhere else! As I'd hoped, the hotel was an easy drive (20 mins) from the ferry terminal and so a convenient location for catching the ferry. Despite our short stay it was as very pleasant one indeed!

comments This quiet hotel is a great base to explore Ayrshire,there are plenty of staff so the service is of a very high quality and the food was very tasty and well presented. For a nominal fee you can enjoy the golf courses adjacent and there is a spa if you wish just to chill for the day! I found it very good value for the standard of accomadation.Chldren made a fuss of and welcomed!

comments Well run friendly hotel and well worth a visit. Net curtains or blinds on ground floor rooms overlooking car park would be a good idea and save hotel money as it then would be unnecessary to close curtains and put on lights whilst getting changed during daylight hours. Still an excellent hotel.

comments The Failes s an excellent hotel. I have stayed here in the summer months for 7 years and it just keeps getting better. Every year they make improvements and there is real attention to detail. Nice touches like little flowers on the wall in the halls and now new trees planted in the parking area. The food is good and the service is even better. In fact, that is their biggest asset; they have great people who all perform with a "service" attitude. Oh by the way, the food at their sister Inn in Loans is even better. Robert E Logan

comments Excelllent, perfect room, quiet, food super, breakfasts made for you, not buffet - so breakfast is hot and fresh - Staff - all very helpful and attentive - they all look as if they enjoy working here. Watched gardner - all shrubs cut to same size - not one would dare to grow out of place. No rubbish on ground around hotel - he is on the ball. Quiet - no sound of traffic. Hope there is room for us when we come next after giving these comments.

comments What a delight to stay at Gailes Hotel. This hotel is beautifully furnished to a high standard. My room was spacious and comfortably warm with an amazing bed in which I had the best sleep for ages. The breakfast menu was excellent, I chose the cooked breakfast and the service from the staff was quick and inobtrusive. My stay was planned to enable me to attend a a training workshop within the Gailes conference facilities. The venue was excellent, well lit and a buffet lunch was provided. This included hot sandwiches which were delicious and again the staff were on top form. I would highly recommend the hotel to others and would not hesitate to come for another visit for a longer stay. Well done.

comments We had a group of 8 over for golf trip. Accomodations were great. We doubled up and they provided two twin beds in each room as requested. We had dinner in restaurant and it was very good. Both Hotel and restaurant staffs were fantastic. This was our first stay and an unknown, but We will be back.

comments I was particularly impressed with the cleanliness of the room and en suite throughout my stay. The housekeeping service did an excellent job each day, rather than just an initial clean room, followed by the minimum of tidying and cleaning during a short stay, which is more the norm. I was initially short on towels and I also requestd an extra pillow, and again, Housekeeping were on the ball. I found the breakfasts quite adequate, with pleasant and efficient service. The dinner I enjoyed was delicious and the private function I attended whilst at Gailes was most enjoyable, with quite good food, though the steak in the steak pie was somewhat tough. My only disagreeable experience was the foul-mouthed male diners, partaking breakfast, prior to their round of golf, unfortunately seated at adjacent tables to me. They no doubt thought they were a merry lot, but my daughter and I found their loud language offensive in the extreme. Ideally the wait staff should have alerted a senior member of staff to requeat them to tone things down a little. Otherwise, i enjoyed my stay at Gailes immensely and I would not hesitate to return. I especially thought the hotel provided good value for money.
