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

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

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.

The food was lovely, couldn’t fault it! The waiting staff really let the restaurant down, they are not interested in customer service. We had one drink all evening, staff not around to offer more drinks. A smile on any one of them wouldn’t hurt.

Outstanding! Top-notch food, drink and service. The Kirkmichael Arms is a treasure of a pub ticking all the boxes when it comes to a cosy local.

The Coylton Arms is turning into a real favourite of ours. We’ve eaten here quite a few times this year, which included twice in December. It offers an extensive menu to choose from, plus the staff that serve you are always really pleasant and not afraid to offer their opinion on the food you fancy. Prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food and the restaurant is really nice inside. There is also an adjoining bar if you fancy a wee pre-meal drink. A family run business, well worth a visit 👍

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.

This is a terrific place to eat. I have been many times with friends and family and the food is always of a high standard and delicious as is the presentation.It is a lovely bright inviting place and the staff are so friendly and cheery.Cakes are delicious too.Top class a must to visit!

Go there often the high tea is great value ,the staff are all very pleasant,the manager is very professional,the come round to make sure everything is ok . Hilly recommend the restaurant

Such a shame what a lovely place and meal, but some of the staff were rather rude. At 930 the staff continued to remove items from our table, turning lights off and creating a very u welcoming environment. Obviously staff were pretty desperate to close. We felt very unwelcome in the end.

What a real tradition place to eat if you ever want a meal that reminds you of ya mum cooking this is the place to go, Tradition meals, British and Scottish, homemade meals and puddings, absolutely stunning views while you eat amazingly tasty nostalgic food, good value for money too!

Christmas dinner on Christmas Day was very disappointing and naturally expensive. The food was Wetherspoons quality tasted like it was bought in from catering company rather than freshly made. Young undertrained staff did their best.but had to be asked several times for service. Pity if that’s the quality served at weddings. I have had a bar lunch there which has been fine. As I live locally it’s sad to see how standards have slipped since the Costley days.

Stopped for coffee and to visit gift shop. Both excellent. Very friendly staff and Jade had really good information about where we were staying. Went back the following day for breakfast that was well cooked and good value. Very comfortable surroundings and spotlessly clean. Definitely recommend.

We've eaten here many times over the years and it needs a fresh review. Very pleasant place set in tranquil surroundings of a local fishery. Food is always very good, as is the pleasant, unobtrusive service. Nice ambience, generous portions, whatever one has to eat, spotlessly clean, all in all great value for money. Well worth seeking out for a wee run in the Ayrshire countryside.

What a wonderful shop and cafe the hub of the local community. The manger Alex and Young worker Becca are fabulous such excellent customer service. I'm currently walking the entire UK coast path solo for the RNLI with my Big agnes tent Aggie since July 4th over 7,600 walked and I am staying at a campsite nearby yo rest a sore ankle. Wow I arrived and was treated like a local welcomed in offered coffee and cake. The atmosphere was heartwarming everyone happy picking up provisions hot food or stopping by for a chat. A lost dog was found and kept amd cuddled by a staff member till the happy owner arrived to claim his doggy ❤️ fully recommend this wonderful place. Thank yoy manager Alex 5 star .

Visited Maidens recently for a week and used Little K’s kitchen every day . They do the most amazing salad rolls , super fresh too and also as I discovered rolls on sausage & onion . Absolutely delicious . I’ve travelled over an hour previously to get one of these salad rolls as I just love them so much .
