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!

Unprepossessing outside. Lounge closed but public bar open & lively. Everyone seemed gobsmacked that we were walking the ACP. Even more that we'd swam both days, and amazed that I'd skinny dipped. Customers & barmaid pointed us to the beer garden, but in a friendly way. The BG was v basic, just a yard. But the beer was good.

AMAZING food and outstanding service at The Harbour! Fish Finger Butty and BLT were absolutely gorgeous 😍 Staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly without being intrusive. I'm in a wheelchair and they were so accommodating: I often feel an inconvenience to small independants but not so here! Oh, and it's dog friendly too 🐕

Aside from the gentle ribbing the queue, there was a plethora of options. A tuna sandwich here does not mean a sandwich with just tuna, think again! Cheese. Coleslaw. Salad. The bread could barely contain itself. Haggis slice, sausage roll both great. Cakes the size of your head, well worth the type 2 diabetes. Would return.

The best place to eat for a homey food, please come to this place you wont be disappointed. I came here with my boyfriend yesterday for our first trip to the beach in Prestwick. The lady who handled us with short hair and glasses was so nice, she’s so heartwarming and very welcoming overall. The price is really affordable in my opinion. We had a three courses meal for £11 which includes Starter, Main, and Dessert. The food is really amazing! I came to Scotland last year September and I’d say this is definitely in my top 3 or even the best food I’ve ever had. My favorite one is the Steakpie from the main menu and my bf’s favorite is the soup and mac n cheese. The food is incredible so it’s all worth it. The lady who serve us made our trip memorable. I had a really great time here and I promise the food is really lovely!!!

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Fantastic food and reasonable prices. The restaurant was busy and there just seemed a buzz about the place. Venison empanadas were unreal. The venison haggis was so good I could have ordered a second plate. The wife had the gnocchi which for a starter which burst full of flavour. The pork rib main was very well balanced. The waitress was attentive and knew menu well. We will certainly be back sooner rather than later. A cracking Ayrshire gem

It was quiet when we arrived just before closing. The waitress was brilliant and never rushed us, even though I'm sure we kept her late😎

Went to the pub because it advertised food on the website but when we got there, it turns out that they dont do food and havent for a while now. They even have a menu outside. Very disappointed so had a quick drink and left.Update your website.

Glenapp Castle prĂ€sentiert sich auf seiner Website mit einem atmosphĂ€rischen Promotionfilm, der Weite und gepflegte Tradition suggeriert. Das Anwesen gehört zur Relais&Chateaux Vereinigung und ist fĂŒr seine KĂŒchenleistung von AA mit 3 Rosettes ausgezeichnet. Damit zĂ€hlt es zu den Top 40 Schottlands. Alles sprach dafĂŒr, eine Reservierung zum Abendessen zu tĂ€tigen. Die 30 minĂŒtige Anfahrt endete zunĂ€chst unverhofft an einem verschlossenen Tor, wofĂŒr es gute GrĂŒnde geben mag. Statt einer freundlichen BegrĂŒĂŸung kam aus der Gegensprechanlage eine Ansage vom Band: „ Wir sind zurzeit nicht erreichbar. Bitte probieren Sie es spĂ€ter noch einmal.“ Ein weiterer Versuch nach angemessener Wartezeit brachte das gleiche Ergebnis. Das reicht normalerweise, einen Haken hinter die Angelegenheit zu machen und umzudrehen. Dennoch entschieden wir uns, dem Haus noch eine Chance zu geben, und benutzten unser Telefon. Auch hier landeten wir auf einem Sprachcomputer, was uns wenigstens ermöglichte, nach automatisiertem Weiterverbinden doch noch eine menschliche Stimme zu erreichen. Solch ein Vorgehen lĂ€sst jegliche ProfessionalitĂ€t vermissen und gestattet keine ErklĂ€rung. Selbst bei Personalmangel steht der herzliche Kontakt ganz im Sinne der sprichwörtlichen schottischen Gastfreundschaft an erster Stelle und kann durch entsprechende technische Ausstattung von jedem Ort aus bewerkstelligt werden. Was ferner Ă€rgerlich aufstĂ¶ĂŸt ist fehlende Transparenz. Was sich seit Jahren auf der Insel breit gemacht hat ist eine letztlich doch nicht so ganz freiwillige Abgabe fĂŒr den Service, was deswegen ĂŒberrascht, da zuvor die Bedienung inklusive war und vom Gast durch ein Trinkgeld ergĂ€nzt werden konnte. Das Thema ist immer noch umstritten. Vorbildliche Restaurants weisen auf diese „Discretionary Service Charge“ und deren Höhe vorab hin, so dass der Gast entscheiden kann, ob er dort ĂŒberhaupt einkehren möchte. Ein gelĂ€ufiger Aufpreis ist 12,5 %. Dem hohen und besonders qualifizierten Personal im gehobenen Segment wird dadurch Rechnung getragen, dass das Speisen hier an sich schon teurer ist als in einem Gastropub und sich daraus, auch durch den Genuss von Wein, ein absolut weit höherer Betrag fĂŒr den Service ergibt. Hier in Glenapp Castle erfĂ€hrt der Gast erst nach der Bitte um die Rechnung von einem vorgehaltenen Tablet, dass sich sein Verzehr um 20 Prozent verteuert. Dieser Betrag ist der Höhe nach aufgrund unserer hier gemachten Erfahrungen mit dem Service und auch im landesweiten Vergleich bei weitem nicht gerechtfertigt. Bei den aufgefĂŒhrten Kritikpunkten handelt es sich nicht um individuelle Ausrutscher an einem turbulenten Tag, sondern um fehlende FĂŒhrung. Die KĂŒche konnte das nicht ganz ausgleichen und hinterließ einen soliden Eindruck. Die EinschĂ€tzung, ob dieses gastronomische Erlebnis wirklich zu besten Schottlands zĂ€hlt, bedarf sicherlich mehrerer Besuche.
