Welcome to the southwest coast of Scotland: Ayr! This wonderful town is located next to the sea, and it’s a part of the county of Ayrshire. Before we go over to the review of Fairfield House Hotel, I want to tell you something about this wonderful county.
Ayrshire is of ancient origin and filled with history. Besides, it has one of the most breathtaking natural scenery in Scotland. One of the best beaches in Scotland is in Ayrshire too, named Ayr Beach. This beach earned a Seaside award from Keep Scotland Beautiful. If you want to learn more about the Vikings who once set foot on these shores and explore many other tasty, historical treats, then you're in the right county.
The county of Ayrshire is also known as the ‘’Coast of the Gaels’’. Argyll once was a big part of a Gaelic kingdom named Dál Riata. Another interesting fact: Argyll was a medieval bishopric with its cathedral at Lismore, as well as an early modern earldom and dukedom, named the Dukedom of Argyll. So as you can see, be ready for lots of historical vibes! This also makes Ayr a popular seaside resort. From there, you’ll have the ideal starting point to explore the rest of the area.
The location of Fairfield House Hotel
What makes Ayr high-loved, is its excellent location and wonderful views of the seafront. Now, the hotel also has an excellent location within Ayr. So what you'll get:
An excellent location within an excellent location.
Do you get me so far? Let me explain this to you. Fairfield House Hotel is situated close to the beachfront, within tranquil surroundings. Besides, you'll be close to many famous golf courses. And that's why Ayrshire is also known for its world-famous golf courses. Moreover, many interesting local attractions are there waiting for you to be seen. Think about the Dumfries house, which is one of Britain's most beautiful stately homes! The estate comes from the 18th century and has an unrivalled collection of original furniture.
And for those interested, there's also an Ayr racecourse nearby where you can enjoy spectacular racing. Maybe you were interested in car racing like Formula 1, but I can tell you that horse racing is quite impressive as well. This used to be the main form of transport, especially in the Wild West. Anyways, if you have any kids with you they will probably love Ayr Farm Park. It has special areas to play for kids, whilst you can captain your boat with amazing bumper boats, or try out tractors and diggers. Do you love music and theatre? You can visit the Gaiety Theatre or the Palace Theatre in Ayr too.
Culzean castle
Another must-see is the Culzean Castle: a castle that’s set on top of a cliff. This is one of Scotland’s most popular attractions! It dates back to the 18th century and is only 25 minutes away from Fairfield House Hotel.

If you seek a combination of comfort and luxury with a modern interior, then Fairfield House hotel got you covered.

The family suite rooms are known to be luxurious and comfortable. Why are they luxurious? Because they come with an extra seating area, which you can look at as a living room.

Executive rooms
The executive rooms are described as ''sophisticated and elegant''. These rooms are in general more colourful than a classic room, and as the name says these rooms give that little bit extra compared to a classic room. You won't get the chance to book a sea view, though. So be aware of that.
The executive rooms are a little cheaper than the suite rooms (family rooms and the Carnegie one which I will show in the end). The executive rooms are categorized as double or twin rooms, triple rooms, and even family rooms.
