The Southfield Hotel

Our first visit to Girvan and stayed here based on TA’s reviews and we are surprised the hotel gets such positive reviews and such a high score. Girvan is a nice harbour town and the hotel is conveniently located for the town centre, the harbour, coastal walk and golf course. The lady who runs it is very nice and friendly, breakfast is good, a cooked breakfast has to be ordered the evening before but we didn’t find that a problem. The main issue was our bedroom, the bathroom, carpets and furnishings are a bit tired and dated and the over-bath shower worked poorly. Given TA’s reviews we had expected better

Very handy location for the town old fashioned building had to pre book breakfast room had everything you need wifi was good shower door did not close when in shower water leaked out and it jumped between hot and cold not serving evening meals when we were there so I recommend going Austin’s 5 min down the road Breakfast was fine good well cooked produce plenty parking right place for the money

We stayed here for two nights at the end of a two-week touring holiday in Scotland, the Southfield is very welcoming, and we found the bed to be the most comfortable of all the beds we slept in that holiday. The location is very good and the property has more than adequate parking. A generous supply of teas and coffee for the rooms. The breakfasts were excellent, well organised and laid out and the food was delicious. We had dinner on the second night and were really pleased that we did. Lovely home cooked food, ( the fish pie was delicious) with very friendly service and very reasonably priced, as were the drinks from the bar. Yes, It has been previously mentioned that the Southfield decor in some areas is a little tired, but it more than makes up for it in customer focus, comfort and cleanliness but above all value for money. All the staff were without exception friendly and very helpful.

This was a nice quiet friendly hotel. The rooms are well appointed, clean and quiet. Unfortunately no dinners were available, but breakfast was excellent. It was close enough to town to walk, if you want.

I asked Sandra if they would be able to arrange some drinks for my in-laws arrival as an Anniversary surprise! She went over and above by arranging a bottle of prosecco, some beer, flowers, chocolates and a card! It was so kind of her to do that and I and my in-laws were so appreciative of that! She also sent me a picture of it all set up in the room! Couldnt ask for better customer service! Thankyou!!!

The Southfield appears quite good from the outside and the reception areas are good.. but when we arrived we had to order breakfast at check-in.... ! ...not good, I want to choose my food on the morning. The whole place has more CCTV than Big Brother.. The room is tired and dated, bathroom door would not shut, hard to open windows, silly electronic thermostats on radiator that keep resetting too high.. and made a noise when trying to sleep, tap handle on bathroom sink kept coming off in your hand. The doors have huge return springs, so doors BANG when people go in / out. We wont return
