Hotels Near Sacred Hearts Of Jesus & Mary R C Church in Girvan

Fantastic hotel and owners, Paul was great to deal with and the food was beautiful, room 8 was clean and tidy and the bed and duvet wonderful, we both had a great night's sleep. The room is at the top and has a wonderful view. Had a walk round the town, few pubs and cafes. We will be back

Beautiful hotel with amazing views of the sea and Ailsa Craig. We visited for a spa day with afternoon tea. A mix up at the beginning with our treatment times didn’t set things off to a good start however this was quickly rectified by staff. The spa was lovely and I had the best massage by Julie-Ann. The little sorbet and drinks after our treatments were a lovely touch and very refreshing. Unfortunately the afternoon tea did let things down a bit as the bread for the sandwiches was quite hard. My daughter had also requested no butter on hers however this was still present on her rolls. I also felt that there wasn’t very much food for the price of the afternoon tea (my vegetarian stand had 4 little sandwiches, a tiny vol-au-vent, 2 small cakes on one layer and 2 small cakes on the top). Whilst adequate, it didn’t warrant £50. There did appear to be slightly more with the regular afternoon tea with the addition of 2 small rolls. Our afternoon tea was booked quite late in the afternoon and due to the time of year the dining area was really busy and loud with what seemed to be Xmas nights out. That didn’t really set the right ambience for a family afternoon tea but likely at other times of year would be fine. I would 100% recommend the spa but if returning would avoid the afternoon tea.

There are many adjectives one could use to describe Glenapp Castle, amazing, phenomenal, stunning and spectacular. While each adjective is correct, none of them accurately depicts what it feels like to stay at this remarkable hotel. From the moment you enter through the gates, you're brought back in time to a world where only Julian Fellowes could showcase on the silver screen, but with you playing the leading role. From the warm reception upon arrival to the greetings from the discreet staff saying hello as you pass by in the halls, to the delightful and charming waitstaff throughout dinner and breakfast the next day, the management team at Glenapp have assembled a truly wonderful staff -- and although, the rooms were exquisite, the decor lovely, and the food scrumptious, it was the people who work at Glenapp who made it exceedingly hard to depart. They were the perfect introduction to my Scottish adventure and I can't wait to go back.
