Taylors - North Ayrshire

I stayed for 3 nights at this restaurant and found the staff to be very friendly and willing to go above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. The breakfast was a continental meal delivered to our door on a tray, and they were even happy to accommodate our early 5am requests. We dined in the pub each evening and enjoyed the homemade food, which was also very reasonably priced. We received fresh towels daily and there was plenty of shower gel, tea, and coffee available. I would definitely recommend this place.

Our experience at this restaurant was terrible. The establishment also functions as a bar/nightclub. The noise in our room was intolerable, leading us to leave. Despite being assured a refund, we did not receive one, and our attempts to contact them have been ignored. The atmosphere of the place felt incredibly unsafe, and I have no intention of ever returning.

I was shocked when they informed me that I had to buy my own shower gel, which has never happened to me at any other place. The bedding was dirty with blood stains on the sheets. However, the food was good and the atmosphere in the bar was great. This visit occurred shortly after the smoking ban was introduced in Scotland in 2006. I wonder if things have improved in the 14 years since then. To be honest, Kilwinning is not the most pleasant town in Scotland. For a more serene experience, I suggest trying Arran.

Excellent food, friendly bubbly service, something for everyone on the ample menu, good portion sizes with food and drinks priced fairly. Better than the Corner House IMO

Took forever to get a drinks order then forever to get a food order. Then forever to get more drinks orders. Had to go searching for staff to order. Place wasn't even busy so no excuse. Food was ok although saute potatoes were missing from steak pie and a quarter onion and two slices of corgette is hardly a portion of veg.
