My wife and I stayed here for two nights - we arrived earlier than the checkout time but Jackie was so accommodating, she gave us our keys and allowed us to drop our bags in the lounge and provided a parking permit so we could begin our day without any delays, we had a very pleasant surprise when we arrived...

Stayed one night and it was lovely. Clean, comfortable and welcoming. Breakfast was lovely as well! If your going to stay in ayr then i woukd highly recommend this than a chain hotel. We had a family room with a lovely little ensuite which was spotless and comfortable, very homely atmosphere!

Jackie is very caring and had some good chats. For what it costs its well worth a stay there and is conveniently located for the station. Would have been nice to have a bath rather than a shower on the cold days. Breakfast was a good selection.

I found this B & B a while ago for my partner to stay in and he raved about it. I stayed there myself this week and I have to say - this place beats any sterile, impersonal Premier or chain establishment. From the wonderful, genuine welcome you receive on arrival - no matter how late (sorry Jackie), to a... More

Booked two rooms for a short holiday in August, starting point for a trip to the Highlands. Jackie is the perfect hostess, very friendly and informative. Very good breakfast. Our rooms were clean and comfortable. Wifi is hit and miss in the topmost rooms, but this did not detract from our stay. Jackie helps with recommendations for attractions and also... More

We were recommended Turas Mara by another B & B nearby who did not have en-suite rooms, that shows how good this establishment is. The room that we occupied was comfortable, well furbished and well stocked with all toiletries..... the only thing you needed to bring was your toothbrush and toothpaste. Morrison's is over the road and the town centre... More

There's really little to add to previous reviews citing warmth of welcome, comfort and excellence of breakfast. The generous provision of good-quality toiletries is worth a mention, though, as is proximity to station and town centre for those using public transport. Would recommend to anybody. I don't understand why it does not stand higher in the local rankings.

We recently stayed for a few days at Turas-Mara, and we cant rate this place highly enough. We found Jackie to be a warm, friendly and accomodating hostess. As most of the reviews say, nothing seemed to be too much for her. The breakfast selection was excellent, the room was beautiful and comfortable. What more can we say, we loved... More
