My family were staying at nearby sundrum and decided to go out in the local area for a meal we booked and arrived to a beautiful restaurant. Staff were all lovely and made sure we were happy with the service. Food was amazing and big portions even on the kids meals. 4 happy kids who are quite fussy all loved their food and it was great prices. Cannot recommend enough. Will definitely be returning.

Arrived and went inside to tell the staff had a reservation. Said it was so nice a we were eating outside. Initially greeted by a lovely girl who was so friendly and until this absolute growler snatches the clip board of her and goes on a tirade. Now bare in mind as you walk into the resturant by the little bar area were this let's call her anything but charming was stood there are 2 tables of people eating. Was immediately berated that she had a table for us in the resturant and she had to turn customers away because we want to sit outside. She was informed I had rang the day before and whoever took the booking was told it was to be a lovely day and we would be wanting to sit outside to eat. Nope that didn't pacify her she kept on and on. She was told go take it up with the person who made the booking I'm sure you can tell from the writing. Now can I have some menus. Nope she still couldn't let it go. Its now bwcomg tedious and not only embarrassing for me but for the people trying to eat their meal.. She was told think 4 times that it was told to however took the booking. Her attifute stank. She is the front for people coming to your resturant so I think you need to do a wee refresher customer service induction with this person. All the other staff are so lovely but first impressions last. Think you also need to have a chat with your staff re communication also. Regardless of that not being relayed to this less than charming individual who is representation of your business she should not have reacted the way she did. Food wise it was average last time we were there the menu had scallops etc now its average choice but was lovely and the portions are huge so much we all struggled to finish then. We also always leave a good tip because we know that lots of servers etc are students and knowing our teenagers work similar jobs also but we couldn't this time knowing that it would be shared with the not so lovely individual we had to deal with. Now reading other more negative reviews we have noticed the management responses are anything but constructive and lean towards berating the individual leaving the review. Hope management take a look at this review it is a true and balanced review. I could easily have said your food was terrible that the overall service was terrible but chose to tell the truth. Careful who you have as the face of your resturant as they can and they do cost you custom.

I looked on trip advisor for somewhere nearby a d the closest was the Coylton Arms.We went for a meal on Saturday 23rd May at 7.30pm my partner and I were seated by the front door so that when the front door opened a gale blowing on us, we ordered our meals mine was chicken and black pudding with a cream sauce with mash and vegetables, I ordered and said that could I have just the chicken black pudding and sauce with chips please, but that was not what arrived I was brought a plate full of vegetables, mash small chicken breast and one round slice of black pudding, I said to the waitress this is not what I ordered she said oh just push the vegetables and mash to one side of the plate and I'll get you a bowl of chips, I was hungry so I just excepted this when the so called chips arrived which were skin on fries this is not what the menu says, misrepresentation I think, I asked for some vinegar she brought me one little plastic packet, the sauce that came with the meal was very watery.My partner had sea bass which was ok but again the sauce was watery I paid my bill and said about the problems but the waitress oh I'm sorry and took our money, I was very disappointed with the whole experience, but I was staying in the area for a full week and there is no other pubs serving food for miles, captive customers I think, but my partner said I might have just been a chef might have been missing and to give them another chance, so we will go back again in the next few days and see if it was just a one off. Very disappointed but give them a last chance.

What a disappointment. Decided to try here after a 2 year gap since our last visit. We were a table of 3 adults. When we arrived we were shown a table near the entrance and the bar. Experience has told us that this area is draughty whenever anyone enters or leaves and also is where parties of people wait to announce their arrival, so I asked if we could move into the main restaurant. We were told ‘no’ because they had a number of large parties coming in. Our table was really for a couple - good job we didn’t have side dishes because we wouldn’t have fitted them on! As predicted on this extremely windy night we were caught by the cold draughts as each party entered and exited. The waiting staff were efficient.I ordered lamb shank which arrived barely warm with COLD vegetables. I didn’t want to reorder because my husband and sister both had their meals already in front of them. Their fish and chips were hot, but my husband found his batter soggy inside. We decided to risk desserts. The topping on the apple crumble was soggy - I think it had been reheated in the microwave but looked as if it might have had a crunchy topping when it was first baked judging by the colour of it - though I did enjoy my custard and my sister enjoyed her banoffee meringue. Needless to say we didn’t stop for coffee!

My wife and I have lived in the village for a few months now and decided it would be nice to try a local place for lunch. Whilst it was quiet today, probably due to some bad weather, we were quickly welcomed and seated, no booking required!We both settled on the chicken Maryland for our main, opting to have the two courses for £12.95 and eyeing up the enticing sweet menu in anticipation......The main was very nice and came with a side bowl of fries. This course was enjoyed by both of us and we indulged in the lemon cheesecake with white chocolate for my wife and the banoffee meringue for me... both excellent!We only had a Coke Zero for our drinks but enjoyed the meal and the pleasant decor.This will definitely feature as a place to go for us and we may need to give steak night a try!Staff were friendly and helpful and service was quite acceptable, I don’t like being rushed when eating out... preferring to relax and enjoy chatting with my wife.All round good experience, well done to the owners and compliments to the chef,especially on the sweets!

Visited here for the first time in ages but must say it won’t be as long until the next time. Food was plentiful and of great quality. I had cheese and pepper bites ( which is a wee bit different) and it was great. For the main I had roast turkey which once again was really tasty. A wee note on the service which was prompt and very polite. Well done all round.

Having heard great things we thought we would try this restaurant when our friends came to stay. We were not disappointed. The food was excellent, in particular scallops and black pudding starter!!! Although every dish brought out from the kitchen looked as good as the next. One of group are coeliac but there was no problem, as there was still plenty to choose from on the menu. Only down side.......no room for pudding :( AND they looked amazing!!!! Definitely coming back soon.

On arrival we were given a menu which included a selection of 2 courses for £12.95. We all chose from this section. Food was nice, good portions. When the bill arrived it was a lot more than we were expecting. We questioned this and were then told the 2 course deal had finished at 3pm. When we asked the girl serving us why she had taken our order from this section the look we got from her was priceless! We weren't able to check the menu to see if there were any times on it, but if there was not one of us had noticed them.

Just a pleasure from start to finish. we were welcomed and ushered to a table as soon as we walked into the restaurant, which is really in two parts the first area is close to the bar and kitchen, then up one step into the main restaurant area which I think would seat around 50 customers, with a walkway down the centre. The menu is very varied with starters mains and sweets making you find it rather hard to decide which dish is just what you want

Had lunch at the coylton arms today. Varied choice on the Sunday lunch menu. Restaurant was very quiet which was nice. We didn't have a starter but all 5 of us thoroughly enjoyed our main course. Staff were very friendly. Myself and my grandpa had steak pie which was lush. Cubes of steak were so tender and just melted in the mouth. Cajun chicken salad was out of this world. Also the chicken breast with black pudding. Sirloin steak was cooked to perfection. Desserts were stunning. I would very much recommend to come here for food and a lovely friendly welcome with nice atmosphere

What a lovely Gastro Pub. We found it via Google whilst visiting the Ayr Show. It's off the beaten track but we'll worth a visit. We didn't realise it was the day of the local agricultural show so the bar was overwhelmed but you wouldn't have known it in the restaurant which was very calm and peaceful. Hubby had Macaroni Cheese and I had a Rib eye steak, cooked to perfection. We were too full to enjoy the excellent range of deserts but given an hour to allow the food to digest would have enjoyed something. If you're in the area make the detour it's well worth it.

The customer service however is where we were let down, felt like an inconvenience to staff who seemed like they really couldn't be bothered being there or doing their job, totally lacked enthusiasm and didn't come across very friendly. Even had one member of staff eye roll when stopped to ask for something for our table.

Absolutely shocking service from this place! Booked a table for 12 for a hen. They did not advice us that we had to leave the table for 7 when booked. Originally was told 8 then it was half 7 and then 7...when we had a limo picking us up as a surprise. They moved us into a private function room after the meal which had people also eating and I don’t understand why we couldn’t have went into that room on the first place. The management did not tell us about anything but instead had their young staff members approach us all while knowing we were going to say something back and the poor girl didn’t know what to say! The chef then appeared and shouted your limo is waiting outside and spoiled the surprise for the bride to be!! Shocking service from a place and definitely won’t be back. Food was ok. Felt like the hen party was an inconvenience to them (we were not loud and were respectful to those eating around us) ...if they didn’t want a hen party they could have told us at the beginning when we booked as we honest about how it was a hen party.

This evening was our first visit to this place having read good reviews on trip advisor. Menu, food and service were good up until the end of our meal. We indicated we would have coffee with the birthday cake we had brought with us. The cake was cut and brought to us on a plate. We did not get side plates nor did anyone come back to take our order for coffees. The waitresses were all very busy. We.eventually asked for the bill and left without having it. A disappointing end to a birthday meal. Would like to have given a better overall rating as the food was good but it was let down by the service at the end of the meal. We feel that the restaurant would benefit from more staff on a Saturday night.

I was totally disgusted as I went to restaurant bar to buy 3 cokes for myself, niece and nephew only to find it was £7.50 for 3 cans which the barmaid opened before telling me the price, as it was my brother-in-law's wake and it was his children standing next to me waiting on a drink I said nothing, only to find out later for the same size of can of coke in the bar, I might add is probably 10 steps away, was £1.25, so i called the manager and queried it , her response was the prices are different in the bar to the restaurant and on that particular day they had probably ran out of the glass bottles of coke so they served the cans instead I am totally disgusted, I was told the manager that I had called was going to check the prices and get back to me ( STILL WAITING ) total rip off please be aware of prices before you buy.......

My family booked for a celebration. The restaurant is beautiful with a really nice ambience. The starters and deserts were really good. However I ordered a steak ( medium done) but when it arrived it was more well done. I am able to cope with a well done steak however it was as so tough I was unable to east most of it. I don’t think that it was because of the way it was cooked but because off poor quality butcher meat. This is the second time I have ordered a steak and was disappointed. Also it was advertised as ’steak night’!

Booked this venue for our grandparents surprise 50th wedding anniversary. Went down to enquire about a private room, paid £40 deposit to then get a phone call saying room was double booked but we could get a section of the restaurant and there would be no rush. Corresponding during the week we were sent the menu and everybody had to choose which was fair enough as it would save time on the night so the only people who didn’t have their order placed was my grandparents as obviously this was a surpise dinner. When my auntie went down the night before to finialise everything she was told we had to be out for half 7 as they were booked up. The table was booked for half 5, there was 20 of us who were having a 3 course meal and there was cake afterwards to cut so 2 hours for this was not possible. My auntie was reduced to tears as we had not been told this to the last minute, knowing this we could have found somewhere else. The girl with the dark hair and glasses came out to the car after seeing her in tears and said we could get the table from half 4 but this was not possible as some family members were working and some travelled from Northern Ireland. We then got told on the day that everything was sorted apart from at 8oclock they were booked so they would have to take a table of 2 off us which was absolutely fine as we would have just been about finished so we were happy that everything was sorted (even though on the night they did not take this table). However on the night it just went downhill rapid. I have been regularly to this place and have loved it but I will never be back after last night. We were barely sat down and settled when the starters came out, even though my grandparents were talking to people, there was drinks ordered which never appeared and when queried was told ‘they forgot’, mains were brought out with sides missing even though on the menu it stated they came with fries and when we asked were they coming the response was ‘how many more you wanting like’. My uncle bought himself a beer and the bar staff continuously stared up at us to see who was drinking it. My cousin who is 17 was refused a beer even though my uncle had ordered it even though my law a 16/17 year can have a beer, cider or wine with a meal accompanied by an adult who purchases it. My uncle got his beer and then the blonde hair girl came up, leaned over my uncle and asked my cousin for his I.D which he did not need. The bar staff stared at us the whole night making us feel so uneasy and as if they did not want us there. All our meals had to be paid altogher which we all sat down and worked out, only thing we had to pay for was drinks bought. Members had been going to the bar and buying their drinks and paying for them at the time, others were put on the bill to be paid. On the bill a coke was £2.50 but when buying straight from the bar was £1.70. Obviously you’s think people wont notice this. We paid you’s a good amount of money last night and the service we received was so bad I will never step foot back in your premises. My grandparents first time and will not be back. Was meant to be a memorable night for them them but thanks to your terrible staff and their shocking manners it will be memotable for all the wrong reasons. Oh and not to mention my 5 year old nephew was left in tears and the blonde waitress who was the older one out of them clipped him on the head with a plate. So unprofessional in every way possible. So thank you very much for ruining our night! Oh and just to let you’s know my cousin drank his beer before we left

Visited on Sunday 5th August with 8 other family members to celebrate Grans 95th birthday. We enjoyed our food and the service was great. Large selection of meals to choose from although perhaps a few too many. None the less is was a good restaurant with attentive staff but no too much so. Overall it was a pleasant place but nothing out of the ordinary pub menu and food.

Really busy place food great and staff friendly and efficient! The only problem I had was as it is a popular and good eating place I and my wife found it a bit noisy and also felt a bit crammed in! But this is a small matter and we will certainly return thoroughly enjoyable! I had Scallops and Black Pudding Crispy Bacon and a Rib eye steak it was superb! Lynn my wife had Thai Fishcakes and Chicken and Black Pudding she loved it well done to all concerned with the Coyolton Arms

The food overall was standard, but not great honestly. The staff made me feel uncomfortable, particularly the manager who i felt was staring at me throughout my meal. The waitresses were obviously undertrained as they were all quite young and clueless, and the staff behind the bar looked very young to be pouring alcoholic drinks. The manager also came across as very ill mannered. The food was mediocre at best, and was not worth visiting again. As someone who has worked in the food industry for most of my life, I feel that the service could’ve been much better, especially since this is a small restaurant.

The girls serving were really nice. On ordering a fillet steak for my and myself it turned up bleeding in the middle when we asked for very well done. Also charged for 2 pepper sauce when only wanted one. £5.80 for a strawberry tart that you can buy for £1 and a small bit of cream and 1 tiny scoop of ice cream. Very disappointed so never be back.

My husband, my son and I had gone here a few years back on someones recommendation while we were on holiday at Sundrum Castle. The food and service was lovely and when we decided to go back for a family get together I was wondering if it would have the same chef etc. you always worry when you recommend a place.

Excellent Food lovely well laid out restaurant with welcoming well groomed staff. Good value for money with a well stocked cocktail bar.We dined on the Friday steak night which proved to be very popular. The sweet menu was the highlight of our guests and the venue has an excellent choice of fine wines. We finished our evening with a special cocktail. My guests and ourselves will certainly be returning to the

The food is sloppy and basic. The owners are rude and I feel sorry for the staff as moral looks low. No wonder when the man in the kitchen uses a foul and abusive language - shame on you given the small and friendly community you serve!

We had the best Christmas meal tonight on Christmas Eve. Plenty of choice but chose the turkey and all the trimmings.....it beat all other restaurants, I didn’t have to ask for anything, it was all there in the right quantity, cranberry sauce, Brussels sprouts, stuffing and every part of the meal was fantastic.

Sad to say that our lunch experience wasn’t great. No check back to see if everything was okay, frosty service and had to go to the bar twice - once to ask for the bill, second time to pay it! Even when we were leaving it was a ‘bye’ and as quick as we could leave. Won’t take away anything from the food which was nice, but the service plays just as big a part, and on this occasion it definitely was lacking

So excited I have found this place. I have recently moved to this area, and was slowly giving up on finding a decent meal out. They have excellent food and choice on the menu with a great price. The resurant was lovely and modern and clean in a great situation. Staff were friendly and knowledgable.
