The Harbour Shop in South Ayrshire

This was such a pleasant surprise. We were staying in Glenapp Castle and expected traditional fine dining in the main building, but not a Michelin-quality modern restaurant in the grounds. I was sceptical at first and had to be convinced by my partner to try this place, but I was certainly glad I did! The atmosphere on arrival is beautiful - you have a welcome canapes and drink in a green house area with pools, fresh growing herbs and other greenery around you. It was very special. Afterwards, you are treated to a fantastic, modern cuisine dinner that is exceptional with an excellent selection of wines. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are staying in the Ballantrae area. Just lovely!

Very enjoyable and great food. Hosts were friendly and shared stories about the local culture. Recommend!

I had one of the best full breakfast I've ever had, it even beat the Turnberry hotels breakfast ,so we went back for lunch the same day,lovely home cooked food ,hard to fault.

We came here to celebrate my dad’s life. The two bar staff were so fantastic, we were a group of 25 family and all received wonderful service from the staff at the bar. Service was quick and our cocktails were so delicious, it was a shame that the Manager/owner was quite stressed and rude. We were told that we were in the way and that cocktails were cancelled because they were too busy. There were tables reserved inside for only people who were eating, these tables remained unoccupied all afternoon. We would have eaten there however the Manager/owner was not very welcoming which is a shame. Big shout out to the bar staff well done and thank you for making us welcome. I think the owner should be a lot more welcoming and friendly it would have made such a difference.

Stayed here when working in the area. Stunning hotel, tremendous garden, rooms beyond excellent, mighty meals/breakfast.
