Haylie in North Ayrshire

Went for dinner recently (last week) had the fillet steak which was superb.We ate in the dining room overlooking the island of Cumbrae, great food, attentive service and beautiful views, what more do you want?

Room was dusty with cobwebs on the ceiling could be doing with a deep clean. We arrived to be told they had no space for us at dinner & would book a taxi for us to eat out, bit disappointed when you are a paying guest @ £155 for the night. Car park is so small with only a couple of spaces they ask if you are going to go out when you arrive.

Hotel room was lovely great sea view, comfortable bed and large room. Shower was great. Best Scottish breakfast I've had piping hot good choice of fresh fruits and cereals. Definitely would stay here again.

Stayed for 2 nights, Staff were so lovely and had many gluten free options for my partner. The rooms were warm and cosy, was absolutely amazing.

Lovely place for a nice dinner great food choice on the menu and considering the views and ambience the pricing is amazing great value for money. Service was exceptional the girls did a great job. Only one criticism the pull cord for the bathroom light needs change as very dirty.

One downside they need to replace the light pull cords in the toilets otherwise 5 stars. Food delicious service excellent and lovely views.

Spectacular ! We had a great time. I highly recommend it. Exquisite staff, available, attentive to your needs and always ready to give help and support. For example, we told them that we were going to visit Glasgow and they immediately advised us to take the train and explained the way to get there (10 minutes and we were at the station!) So as not to have parking problems, but they were also ready to give us directions on which car park was best to stop at. They then opened the kitchen just for the 3 of us on the first evening when we arrived at almost 7pm! Our family room consisted of two doubles, one accessed from the private bathroom. Large, comfortable beds. Beautiful view from the restaurant. I absolutely recommend it!

A great hotel. Amazing views. Clean, bright rooms. Brilliant mattress and pillows. Best sleep we've had in a hotel. Bathroom was immaculate. Alan, Nicola and Callum couldn't do more to make your stay more enjoyable. Breakfast cooked to order by Alan the owner. I challenge you to find a better breakfast anywhere. As the weather wasn't so good, we dined in at night. So glad we did, the food was delicious. Cannot recommend The Haylie Hotel highly enough.

80th birthday party 🎈 was lovely 😍

Nice table looking out to the islands I live in Largs and I can say this is the best restaurant in town The steak was really good, although they specialise in steak two of our party had fish they were more than happy too The chef here obviously knows what he is doing, we had six satisfied fussy eaters!

Traditional hotel in Largs with fabulous views from the dining room and great service. My sister loved staying there

Lovely wee boutique style, family run hotel. Owner and staff are so nice and accommodating.

My review is solely on the restaurant, as we didn't stay here. I'd heard about The Haylie being a good steakhouse and had wanted to give it a try. 4 of us went along for dinner and came away very impressed. I had the 8oz fillet the others has 8oz sirloin, a chicken dish and a scampi. Now I am very finicky about my steak temperature and like it on the rarer side (red but not bloody). More often than not my steak is overcooked, which I hate. The steak here was (a) cooked absolutely perfectly and (b) was wonderfully tasty, and not overly fatty. Everything else was cooked wonderfully too - even the chips must have been double fried as they were wonderfully crisp. Service was great and prices were very reasonable.

I've spent three nights there on business. Lovely people, lovely hotel and the meals are amazing, they've obviously put their heart and soul into the hotel and it shows, I'd highly recommend it.

Had a fantastic celebration meal

Candle lit restaurant created a beautiful ambiance. We had a very warm welcome from the staff. The food was delicious, excellent quality and presentation. I was delighted that you are still given a hot roll and butter while waiting on starters. Wine was very nice, service was superb! We used to frequent here years ago as a family and hadn’t been since well before lockdown, it’s more expensive than other Largs eateries but the whole dining experience is first class! Hopefully will not leave it so long until we visit again.

Friendly, well run family hotel, great staff,high quality meals, rooms well appointed and all clean, what more could you ask for!

Firstly let me say that there is an issue with parking at the hotel, it has very limited spaces and as the hotel is very popular it is a bit tricky to get a space. We left the hotel on a Saturday evening to go into Largs to get fish and chips, it's too far to walk, and could not get parked when we got back. We did however get parked on the next road down. This is not a criticism of the hotel as it is what it is and they can't magic up more spaces, it's just to make other people aware. The hotel itself is very nice but bear in mind there is no dedicated bar to sit and have a drink. There is a sofa in one of the dining rooms which we used when we arrived to have a drink but again, no criticism of the hotel as they use the available space for 2 dining rooms. Talking of dining rooms we move on to the food. We ate in the restaurant on our first night and the food was outstanding. I was initially disappointed as there there were no langoustines that night but I then decided on the sirloin steak and OMG it was the best steak I've ever had, and I've had a few I can tell you. My wife had the fillet and she also raved about it. Breakfast was also excellent with each of the items top quality. I have to mention the staff also who were very fantastic

A wonderful stay for a few days midweek at this ideally situated hotel in Largs. Beautiful views from the bedroom to Cumbrae with the mountains of Arran in the background. Clean, spacious room with a very comfortable bed, and a small adjoining sitting room. Food was excellent, a variety of fresh summer fruits for breakfast as well as a selection of traditional cooked breakfast dishes. Dinner in the evening was a special treat, in a dining room with lovely sea views. Friendly and helpful staff, highly recommend the Haylie.

We went as a family for a birthday celebration. It had come highly recommended for excellent Steaks, and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and service and very reasonable priced for what you get.

As a family, we have been going to this hotel for special meals for a number of years. It has never disappointed. We especially enjoy sitting in the lounge before and after the meal enjoying the magnificent view.

We went here for our 40th wedding anniversary meal and must say it was really nice, it was a lovely evening weatherwise so had a lovely view while enjoying a lovely meal.

Had our first visit here after a recommendation. Got a table in the bay window with nice views over the water. It’s quite old fashioned inside and very red but has character. The “background” music was a little loud, mainly jazz and playing on a loop so kept hearing the same songs over and over again which was annoying. We were given our menus and told we’d be brought the 2 course special menu (why we weren’t given them along with the regular menu is beyond me) but this arrived after a long wait. In fact, the service was painfully slow the whole night. It took ages for our main order to be taken then even longer to order the dessert (had to ask waiter to take our order after a 20 minute wait). We waited far too long for our bill and had to ask twice for it. The 4 staff members were very young and no one seemed to be in charge or to oversee them. They were very friendly but not attentive so this seriously let them down and I just felt frustrated when it should have been an enjoyable night. The food was very good. The potato skins were nice for starters. The lasagne and chicken supreme were very nice but the chips were on the hard side. Overall, lovely food (special menu good value, regular menu a bit pricey) but the day we were there, the service was poor. Not sure if we’ll be back.

Three of us went to the Haylie restaurant as they accommodate vegan cooking and the place was recommended by an ex Largs resident. We were very impressed. The menu is good and the food descriptions perfect. The service from a young team was exemplary even taking the trouble to find things out from the chef. My beef Wellington was perfection cooked rare, as I like it and the home made puddings mouth watering. The vegan food was declared delicious. Plus, the view from the table was great. I am very glad we came here, and what a great way to celebrate another FA cup triumph.

Popped in for an evening meal mid week thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. The waitress was attentive and the meals came out very quickly. We both enjoyed our 3 courses, the size of the portions and the quality of ingredients lived up to my expeditions. The decor is a bit ‘old fashioned’ however this did not detract from a pleasant evening meal out. I’ll more than likely return back and try another item from their menu.

After two excellent meals in the restaurant we will be returning on a regular basis. The atmosphere is warm and relaxing and the staff are always on hand to help. The food is of an extremely high standard from starters, main meals, to desserts with an excellent choice on the menu.

Here with a party to celebrate a special occasion. We met in the lounge for a pre-meal drink. Unfortunately the gin & tonics didn't come with either lime or lemon. The girl serving said there was none. However, when others arrived they miraculously found the fruit for the drinks. The order for food was taken without any fuss or bother - one comment was that this being primarily a steak house the origin of the meat would be displayed somewhere on the menu local or otherwise. The meal was served and the steaks were all pretty nice unfortunately the ordered vegetables arrived when most were finished. Dessert was ordered and took over half an hour to be served (cheese and biscuits and a crumble) this was disappointing! Moving back to the lounge the bill we initially paid was for another party and because of this mix-up we had to get a refund. Overall ok food but dreadful service through delays and being vastly overcharged. Won't rush back as there are other places in Largs that are a more professional in there customer service.

The meal we had here was very very good hubbie had beef wellington which was better than he had ever had I had the house fillet with dauphinoise and carrot and parsnip mash which was WOW and the red wine and port sauce was yummy the price was very reasonably low (we have paid more for not so good food and service) We visit Largs often so we will be back Avril Currie

Great night with excellent meal, staff were attentive without being overbearing. Would certainly recommend.

Pasamos una noche rara lejos de los niños, decidimos ir a la Haylie, estado antes y siempre ha sido bueno. Fuimos el miércoles 17 / 5 / 17. No reservamos y una llegada la camarera dijo que tiene que ver con la cocina, ya que fue muy tranquila, regresó y dijo que no de problemas. Elegimos nuestros asientos, ya que el restaurante estaba vacío, cóctel de gambas, tuvimos exactamente de la manera deseada, no perdió y delicioso, con mi pareja tuvo el queso Camembert frito, que ella ama, 3 grandes trozos para comenzar. Para la masa que tuvimos 10 oz sirloins, perfectamente preparado, y más grande que 10 oz creo. Salsa de pimientos y salsa azul hermoso queso para acompañar así como patatas y cebollas fritas que eran frescas y casero. También tuvimos verduras para acompañar era bastante caro en £2. 75 para en un pedazo de brócoli, coliflor, una pieza de varias rodajas de zanahorias y una cucharada de puré de zanahoria y parsnip.

We love going to the Haylie for special occasion meals, as it's a bit more expensive, but the meal and atmosphere is worth it. Best to book, especially if you want a table overlooking the Clyde, with fantastic views to Cumbrae and beyond.

Si quieres disfrutar de un poco de buena cocina antigua, este es el lugar para ir. Las carnes son increíbles. El restaurante tiene un ambiente muy relajado, pero el personal puede ser un poquito dipsy. . . No dejes que esto te desanime! La única...

La comida aquí es fabulosa, con filetes de ser un especial, pero también recomendaría su ensalada de pollo, pieles de patata, queso Camembert, sólo para nombrar unos pocos. Emily es una excelente camarera y siempre servicial y felicitaciones al jefe Graeme. Siempre tenemos una comida...

Haylie to nie tylko restauracja, to również hotel. Niewielkie pomieszczenie o ceglisto czerwonych ścianach, oświetlone płomieniem świec, tak prezentuje się...

Comimos aquí muchas veces en los últimos tres semanas. Cada vez ha sido excelente. Gran servicio amable y la comida la manera en la que pedimos. Gran lugar para cenas familiares o de salir por la noche.

Enjoyed a nice meal here. Had salmon and prawns to start, then a nice fillet steak. Staff were friendly too. Well worth a visit.

The place is all a bit old fashioned or characterful, depending on your personal view. The menu on the whole is good value and they serve great steaks which are of course at a premium. I had the hot prawns to start which I was a little disapointed with as they didn't live up to the picture in my mind, they were small prawns in a sauce in a bowl I was expecting larger and perhaps grilled, but they tasted great. The steak was amazing and the wine was great. The whole evening was set off by fantastic service from our waitress. I would have given 5 out of 5 if it were not for my disappointment with the prawns. Will definitely go back.

I like coming here as the sizzling steak platters offer the option of small 4oz steaks which is great if you don't have a big appetite. The wine list is reasonably priced and service is good. The views across the water are worth it alone.

The place is very well located, with a stunning view on Cumbrae and Bute; nothing to say about the service, which was great and welcoming, or the atmosphere, great too thanks to the very eclectic playlist... The wine I got was lovely, but my main ( sirloin steack) was a bit too salty...but I would highly recommend a visit to that restaurant.

Had a nice venting dinner in the Haylie Hotel restaurant, where the views, provided you are at the window, are excellent. Food was God and service was friendly. Tables are a little close together, making intimate conversation difficult. The music was a tad loud as well, which was inappropriate for a kind of traditional seaside restaurant. But a good night.

We went here for dinner, having last visited a couple of years ago. The menu is interesting, the food tasty and the service friendly. And if you're lucky you'll get a table with a view over the Clyde. Great place.

Have been here on numerous occasions and never disappointed . Great location great food and great service .A real gem . Great steaks !!!

Breakfast is A+, fried eggs, back bacon, tomato, fresh berries, coffee and toast. Simple and done right. Dinner was just as good. Fresh local foods, grilled haddock with lemon butter, variety of tasty starches and steamed vegetables. I enjoyed it all.

If you want a sizzling steak, a generous serve, great service, a well priced dinner look no further. The King Prawn starter was superb, as guided by the lead waitress who has been part of the team for several years. I could not find fault in the menu, food and overall price. Next visit I will go for the Beef Wellington.

The Haylie House Hotel, from your arrival to your departure gives you the impression that you are in a very comfortable cosy home in the country, but with amazing sea views, taking in the Isle of Cumbrae/Millport. Wine and food is of a very high standard, married to excellent service through very attentive personnel.

Had yet another lovely meal with friends at the Haylie Hotel - never tire of the superb views from the lounge while deciding what to have and enjoying our pre dinner drinks ! The girls had Terryaki Steak which they raved about while the boys had lovely lamb chops - and a wonderful find - Chicken Wellington which is delicious - wrapped in a light pastry and served with a lovely creamy sauce. The accompanying selection of potatoes and veg were just right too ! Altogether another great Haylie experience - service from the young staff was perfect from start to finish - we will be back very soon !

Nice lounge to await your table . Definitely book or you will be disappointed.Good wine great steaks good service well priced highly recommended

The menu is shockingly disappointing and the house sauce not any better. The service was uninspiring ...... not rushing back

Nice steak dinner but not happy with the add-ons for vegetables and a sauce all of which adds up to an expensive meal.The service was very good and the staff were very friendly. Nice meal but won't rush back.

Visited the restaurant once again last Friday evening with family. Very busy being a lovely evening.Had the fillet steak as is my norm.Cooked to perfection and a good 8 oz. The steak itself is not cheap but is first class and so I don`t mind. The pepper sauce supplement of £2.50 always annoys me however.Fish and lamb enjoyed also by my fellow diners.Dinner first class as always , with very attentive service from the young male waiter.Would certainly recommend and will be back again before too long.

We came here as a last meal of our holiday and to celebrate birthdays in the group. We were a large group and so were told that the could accommodate us but we would need to be finished before the next dinner service. We were only going to have a main course anyway so didn't mind we had a deadline. Despite the fact they would need the tables back to reset we were not hurried or rushed and their professional efficiency was more than enough as I know from experience it's hard to serve large tables without someone's food being last and the rest cooling down whilst people wait.The menu has a lot of local specials and a couple of selections each of fish, steak, meats and vegetation options. Unlike other restaurants who seem to offer everything they can imagine the selection here is well thought out so doesn't need to be over the top. The food is fresh and local so the quality is high as well. They were even willing to ensure my salmon was cooked thoroughly because I'm pregnant and some restaurants will do teriyaki salmon only partially cooked. It was excellent and not a problem for them at all.Finally the restaurant is beautiful and has stunning views across the water with large windows letting in the summer evening light. Altogether I cannot recommend the hotel restaurant enough and if you're visiting Largs I suggest you go in. If I could score more than 5 I would have done. Well done everyone there for a brilliant end to our break in Scotland.

Went here as a couple as my wife had been given vouchers by friends for a present.by far one of the best steaks cooked to perfection. It's certainly not the cheapest place to eat at but over all it was worth it. The dining room is fairly small and looks a bit dated, needs a wee bit of TLC, the view if you get a window table overlooking the firth of clyde with cumbrae and arran in the disdtance at sunset is amazing and another reason to go. The staff were very welcoming and friendly though on the night we went it was very busy and they could have used some help. Service was slightly slow but passable.i would thoroughly recomend the steaks at this resaurant.

Cant believe I haven't been here before!! Booked a table for 5 and asked for window seat wasn't one available but when we arrived the lady had arranged one for us .. very much appreciated. The food all of it was excellent - pepper sauce was great and so were the chips. Lamb, fish no complaints either. Attentive service and lovely view. If it was to nit pick - try some cocktails on the menu was only thing missing for me. Only reason its not an excellent was no cocktails and décor could maybe less red - but I have recommended to friends and will def be back.

Seriously great steak. Love the sizzle platter. Prices very reasonable. It's a bit ye olde worlde. The lounge is quite eclectic to say the least. The drinks menu is pretty random. No cocktails or glasses of prosecco. Maybe they are missing a trick or perhaps there isn't the demand. Any how really enjoyed the meal and would certainly return.

We had an excellent birthday celebration at the Haylie last week. The food was excellent as usual and the service was fantastic. You will never go wrong at the Haylie and other restaurants should take note of the good range found on the menu and the quality of the food.

Visiting Largs for a function decided to stay at the hotel...good decision. Rooms nicely refurbished

In dem an das Hotel angegliederte Restaurant startet man den Abend in einer separaten Lounge mit schottischem Charme auf einem der diversen Sofa bei einem Drink mit herrlichem Blick auf das Meer und die vorgelagerten Inseln. Nach Auswahl der Speise wechselt man ins komplett rot gehaltene Restaurant. Die Speisekarte ist nicht umfangreich aber bietet eine gute Auswahl. Zu empfehlen ist die Spezialität des Hauses, Steaks auf einer gusseisernen Platte. Auch im Restaurant hat man einen tollen Blick auf das Meer. Der Service ist sehr freundlich.
