The best restaurants in Maybole, North Carrick and Coylton South Ayrshire South West Scotland

Strolled round from our cottage for breakfast and what a treat . Delicious full breakfast and home cooked beans which made a welcome change . Lovely service . Everything on the plate was tasty and great quality . My dog even had a doggy ice-cream. Hope to go tomorrow as well . Friendly laid back little venue with a magnificent harbour view .

We stopped by for a coffee after a walk and it was really nice. Loved the decor, friendly service, and good coffee. We also got cake too, and it was nice to see vegan options.

Love old diners and spotted this a while ago on my trips down the Ayrshire coast. Birthday day made the excuse to jump in for a get away from the miserable weather pit stop and was treated to a decent all day breakfast, square, link, bacon, black pudding, tattie scone, mushrooms, tomatoes, fried egg and toast with refill coffee, the missus topped hers off wi a caramel cup of suitably gooeyness from Sutherlands cakes.

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

Amazing food, lovely staff excellent service well worth a visit

First time visiting this pub. Lovely atmosphere , friendly and welcoming staff. Food was excellent!

Food and service were great, not that busy, not sure why on a Friday night just after pay day, when the food is this good, would definitely recommend and go back again .

We recently visited The Anchorage and were blown away by the experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the warm, welcoming staff who made us feel right at home—even as English visitors in Scotland! The food was exceptional, beautifully presented, and absolutely worth every penny. We also loved the special touches, like the dedicated kids’ and dog menus, which made the whole family feel included. Highly recommend this place for anyone in the area—it's a must-visit! We’ll definitely be back next time we’re up here.

Great inn with a very friendly host and nice guests.

We kept getting told to give this place a try and how the food was amazing. Finally tried it out and wow absolutely top class. Food and service delivered the right way. Staff were so attentive and made us feel welcome. Will definitely be back 11/10.

Excellent overnight stay. Breakfast perfects. Thank you for our stay.

Great place for a stop on way to Ferries. Lovely homemade pies and staff were really friendly and helpful

Excellent meal. Very busy. We just dropped in for lunch as we were passing, no reservation. Food presented well by good staff. If we were to be passing again I would book. Reasonable price if not a touch on the expensive side. Choices in the area are slightly limited if you are driving through, but we made a good choice going to Souters. I would recommend a visit but also that you book.

What an amazing experience. From talking to Roy on the phone and making the reservation, this was perfection from start to finish. Met Roy, Justin, Alaisha, Bobby and Oli. They are so friendly and attentive and great ambassadors for the company. Food was superb and the menu caters for all tastes. Wonderful location with a relaxing atmosphere. This is a must visit restaurant when in the area. Will be back for sure.

Went on a small adventure to Coylton Arms Inn. I have to say we will be back, the food is very good, a well seasoned lasagna with plenty of herbs, nice béchamel sauce and a good salad and french fries. The only small criticism was the lack of staff which made the wait slightly longer than necessary. The staff themselves were extremely welcoming and the ambiance was charming without being twee. Portion size was good without being excessive. All in all an enjoyable experience that I would recommend for a pub lunch.
