The Maybole Arms in South Ayrshire

So-so scampi and chips, small pub in a small town, so it was pretty standard fare.

Amazing quality food and staff are always welcoming

Proper pub, with proper pub grub. Pleasantly served, good portions, hot and tasty. Scampi, chips, peas and Lasagne, chips and peas.

One of the happiest places I have ever visited. Quite by chance, while holidaying in Scotland, we happened into this pub desperately trying to find an evening meal. The place was packed and noisy as...but we were desperate. Nowhere to sit but the amazing friendliness of people on one table soon saw us squeezed in. The next couple of hours was a blur of Scottish friendliness as we dined on beef roast with Yorkshire pudding. A great meal with great company. We will not forget the Maybole Arms.

We had the pleasure to visit from South Africa on 22 December 2023, and had a wonderful time, enjoying good food (steak pie is recommended), cold beers and welcoming Scottish hospitality. Also pet friendly.

Traditional dog friendly pub, water bowl and dog treats provided by the landlord and very well priced beer

Very much a local pub but it offers excellent value, good simple food and welcomes dogs. Very pleased we came off the A77 in search of something to eat.

Well worth a visit to see a decent Scottish pub. When we no visited there was a core of locals at the bar and seated at the tables. A decent range of drinks, with one good real ale, a bit of a rarity in these parts. The landlord was a quintessential old school landlord. A little reticent at first but then very friendly and welcoming as soon as we got chatting. If you are used to flashy, busy modern city pubs then this is quite different and worth a visit.

We popped in here for a quick bite to eat and it was amazing. Both our meals were delicious. The staff were brilliant especially Loki, the pub's dog, who was a true delight and gentleman 🥰 If in the area, I highly recommend this place.

The Maybole Arms is a good friendly pub with good service.

Great food especially the lasagne!

Brilliant atmosphere, staff, and food! Very friendly and welcoming pub

Cracking wee place, not many left nowadays so it's nice to get a friendly place with a good atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks.

Excellent friendly pub well worth a visit we went in with our 2 boxer dogs and even the dogs got looked after with water and treats, very friendly welcoming bar we will be back next time we are passing through

Very homely and welcoming place, made to feel welcome on arrival .

Was great staff were brilliant. The steak pie was even better.😁😁

You will find locally brewed Real Ale here.

Convenient stop off on the way to Stranraer. Small friendly pub, good food.

Made to feel very welcome. Lovely pub

A great wee pub......i often frequent this wee pub on my visits to Scotland. The landlord and his staff are always very pleasant and welcoming. Although Maybole is less than a vibrant wee town there are always characters who spin a good yarn. I will be there next week for a few pints of Scottish Cheer.

Only in for one drink but made to feel really welcome.

This is a beautiful find, the bar is a classic Scottish style, with a log burning fire and comfy sofas. The bistro has seating all the way back into the beer garden with incredible views of rolling hills, churches and countryside! A great menu of pub classics and plenty of beers on tap, with a separate Gin menu and perfect selection of whiskeys, you can’t go wrong with stopping by! This was our second trip and won’t be our last!

good car parking and staff very helpful. Dog friendly. Food was very wholesome and cheap and whilst the Pub looks rough, externally inside it was fine. Not exactly fine dining but food cost wise was very reasonable

We were staying locally for the night and decided to wander down and get a bite to eat with the kids. You’re definitely walking into the local but we found a table and our order for our food and drinks were taken. The food came quickly enough and each of our meals were excellent. Really great value for money. We enjoyed a couple of drinks and some attention from the pub dogs. Cash only. Would definitely go back if we are back in the area.

Great atmosphere, great service and good selection of beers. A real ale find in Ayrshire.

Fantastic little pub. Food excellent and New Years Eve was everything we wanted it to be. Great place

Rangers won and bar staff are something else great day

Food is excellent and prices are reasonable

Friendly local pub with good food and dogs are welcome

lovely local pub, even better crowd

Stopped for a pint .friendly staff..great little pub Serves a good chilled pint of Tennant..loverly..real ale is also superb

Visiting the nearby A.D. Rattray whisky experience, we missed our connecting train so opted for The Maybole Arms for a dram whilst waiting on the next train. From arrival, the barmaid made us feel very welcome. Recommended.

We met some friends here and had hoped to have a meal but they do not serve food on a Tuesday. Staff very friendly.

Very friendly pub. Allows dogs in. A good choice of food which was basic but good value and filling.

Very friendly landlord, great atmosphere

Family run friendly pub and lovely food 😍

Popped in for a quick drink found the place lovely. Staff very nice and it's dog friendly.

Maybole arms was a nice wee place good food but cheep and to top it off the dog was aloud in

Super pint of T, great atmosphere and friendly staff!

Lovely food and always made to feel welcome.

The Maybole Arms now has real ale on tap and is rotating the ales week by week. Personal favourites are the Ayr Brewing Company beers, brewed just 9 miles up the road. This is a friendly community pub where everyone is welcome and lively debate is enjoyed. Nothing fancy, certainly not the prices which are hard to beat. There is a public car park (with toilets ) adjacent to the pub so it is easy enough to stop off if you are travelling through Maybole, Home of the legendary Carrick Rugby Club. The local characters and staff always make visitors welcome and traditional pub grub is available.

Good service, friendly bar staff and excellent food.

My local. Great place and banter

Lovely wee village pub where kids and dogs are welcome. The locals are nice. It’s not fancy but it’s nice and we’ve had a few good meals there too.

Absolutely brilliant little pub with friendly staff and customers.Dog friendly also. Best pub in this small Ayrshire town and great as a stop off for food on way to or from Ireland. Good parking at side. Cyclists welcome. Handy for Galloway Forrest routes and the Famous Ayrshire Alps.

Been here a few times when staying in the area. The staff and locals are very friendly . Good range of beers and lagers at extremely competitive prices. Bar food is available and again very good value

Located about 5 mins from the top of Maybole high street is the Maybole Arms formerly called the Masons Arms, this is a small modern public house with a good selection of ales and spirits, it is very handy for people who wish to take a short break when heading for the Irish ferry as its right on the doorstep so to speak.
