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 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.

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 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.

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

So the Rad group have refurbished the old Costley Hotel and basically that means all soft furnishings have been with plastic greenery. Tablecloths are no more and the whole interior has lost its previous charm. Was so disappointed visiting for the first time after a while particularly as it was for my birthday. We were in a constant on and off draft from the kitchen- so freezing most of evening till we moved to the bar area to finish our drinks. My husband ordered the roast beef dinner which arrived without the advertised Yorkshire pudding. He returned it so I ended up eating alone while he waited for his to return. Apologies from the chef but we noticed other plates coming out without yorkshires! No one else seemed to have noticed! Sorry Rad group but you’ll need to improve the ambience to tempt us back. A real shame as it’s walkable for us.

The sandwich was simple but nice enough. Tasty cheese and ham. The macaroni was awful. Cold sludge made from cheap ingredients. Possibly the worst I've had. The place itself is fine but they really need to review their catering. It could be so much better

Usually eat here and never had an issue. Today we called and waiting 15 minutes and not served. Approached the counter and older lady said it was table service and take a seat. (We knew this but had waited). Sat back down and waited nearly another 15 minutes and nobody took our order. We were walked past several times by staff and ignored. Left and went elsewhere. Really disappointed at being made to feel so embarrassed after others noticed clearly and those arriving after us were served. Will sadly not return as left to feel like we were deliberately being ignored. Completely embarrassing experience.

Fantastic traditional food with staff who enjoyed engaging with the customers . Excellent dining experience.. 10/10

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 .
