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

The 1906 restaurant is of course situated within the 5 star Turnberry Hotel, and these surroundings undoubtedly enhance the whole dining experience. The hotel itself luxurious and is situated in an outstanding elevated position with stunning views. On arrival you may choose to enjoy an aperitif in the comfortable bar area before heading into the restaurant. We were there on a Friday night and while enjoying a well presented and delicious gin and tonic in the bar, we were unexpectedly treated to an entertaining talk on the ‘haggis’, followed by a rendition of Burns’ ‘Address to the Haggis’, by an impressively dressed piper who also entertained us on the bagpipes. Guests were offered an ‘amuse bouche’ of haggis, neeps and tatties, presented in a small shot glass. Afterwards we entered 1906, the hotel’s formal dining room. This is a beautiful and spacious room with huge windows which frame the outstanding views. The tables were impeccably dressed, as one would expect. The staff were knowledgeable, thoroughly professional, and warm and friendly; without being inappropriate or intrusive. They have perfected just the right balance. My right arm was in plaster, after recently breaking my wrist in a fall. I was struggling to cut my perfectly delicious venison. Our waitress noticed this immediately and discreetly offered to assist me. My husband had noticed at the same time and took the task in hand, but I very much appreciated the waitress’ kindness and attentiveness. The food and wine were excellent and beautifully presented. Our whole experience at Turnberry compared well with the best of restaurants and hotels internationally, though of course it retains its distinctly Scottish ambiance. We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and would certainly recommend.

This was a chipper we would never go by when we sailed into Girvan as it was so good. We were going through there on Sunday afternoon by road and decided to get our supper and eat it further up the road to our destination. I bought 2 fish suppers and when we opened them (the 2 bits of fish were burnt and you could hardly make out the fish from the batter and the chips were not cooked long enough) . They were unedible. If I was passing through there again and went in I would hope the quality of their product was vastly improved.

Great inn with a very friendly landlord and nice guests.

What a beautiful day and what a view. Welcome on arrival was superb. However after having been seated, we had to ask for a menu, no one came to take our order so we ordered ourselves at the bar. Firstly the wrong wine was delivered but this was exchanged. No one asked to either taste the wine or to pour, we did this ourselves. One drink was forgotten another trip to the bar. First time this has ever happened so quite disappointing on this occasion.

Food fantastic andvthe staff a very welcoming..wil be back

Ate here with friends and was very impressed with how excellent the table service was. Attentive and prompt, polite service made sure our meal was relaxed and enjoyable. We chose simple options from the menu - so I couldn’t comment on the fancier choices on offer here- but we were really happy with the quality and presentation of the meals and the overall experience was very pleasant and relaxed. Again - the service here is excellent and they are really nailing that.

Beautiful place for a cuppa stunning views ‘realy friendly anan easy walk from the car park bit expensive but your only there the once

Was booked to provide entertainment. Place was absolutely bouncing. Great crowd. Staff amazing

We had Chateaubriand and the meat was lovely, if a little on the small side. The service was very good, however, it was disappointing that given it’s the hotels signature restaurant there is no bread roll offered (though weirdly a side plate is provided), they also listed 2 x amuse-bouche on our bill (no charge) but we didn’t actually get any. In summary, lovely food but could do better with the little things (which make all the difference).

Here with friends for morning coffee. Staff were friendly, helpful and very courteous.
