Ardwell Bed & Breakfast

Excellent bed and breakfast. Very hospitable hosts. It was a very comfortable, quiet stay. On arrival we were welcomed with a cup of tea and .homemade gingerbread. A good breakfast with fresh fruit salad. The b&b is actually in Mauchline, a few miles from Ayr. I certainly recommend staying here.

A delightful welcome from Una with a pot of tea and some lovely cakes on arrival made a great start! The accommodation is excellent - with a large bedroom, en suite and dining room being the upper floor of a dormer bungalow, with a separate entrance for guests. A very early breakfast was superb - cereals, fresh fruit and eggs on toast, and to top it all, a lift in the car to the railway station in nearby Auchinleck for my return journey home!

I had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful guest house recently. Una and Morton are lovely, welcoming hosts and the ensuite bedrooms are a joy to sleep in. Breakfast is also delicious Will definitely visit again.

We were met by Morton, one half of the couple who run this lovely bed and breakfast, with a cheery smile and invited immediately into their warm home. We, my 9 year old daughter and I stayed here as part of our 1900 mile charity hike, and we immediately felt welcome and at home. Morton invited us to sit and rest, whilst he brought us up a huge tea pot full of steaming hot tea and several slices of cake and pie. It was the best and warmest welcome you could hope for. The room was huge, clean, and warm and the beds felt like we were the first and only people to lay in them! Best of all, there were two massive velux windows that gave views across the local countryside and cool fresh air throughout the night. Perfect for a father and daughter who spend most of the time sleeping in tents. We had a lovely restful night waking refreshed and ready to tackle another hike, but not before we met Una, Morton’s lovely wife at breakfast. We had arranged breakfast at 7.30 am which is early, but we were made to feel that nothing was too much effort for the lovely Morton and Una. The breakfasts were perfect, and we left feeling full and ready to take on anything the day could throw at us. That day we walked 16 miles not stopping till after dark! Thank you Morton and Una. You made us both, including my autistic daughter, feel safe and welcome. Thank you. I can’t recommend the Ardwell Bed and Breakfast enough Thank you! Ian & Eve

The Scottish borders offer some some of the best motorcycle riding in the UK, along with some fantastic vistas, and the Ardwell is a great base from which to explore them. Una and Morton are both very welcoming and coffee and cake on arrival is very welcoming after a long ride. The B&B is pretty close to town and there are takeaways and restaurants within easy walking distance. The tarmacked drive is a real bonus when you're on a heavy motorbike and the spacious rooms are great when you have loads of motorcycle gear. The rooms are well appointed with plenty of sockets for charging Bluetooth devices and the bed was lovely and comfortable. This was my third visit to the Ardwell and, as before, Una's breakfasts did not disappoint! She gets her meat products from three local butchers and the quality certainly shows. Una and Morton are great people and I always enjoy my time at their lovely B&B. I am pretty certain that I will be back, again. Another 10/10

Had a two nights stay with my friend on a visit to dunfries house. This is a superb location nit only for the house but to visit other places and lots of connections with Burns. The first impression of the b and b is positive very well cared for. On arrival we were greeted by the owner Una who was so welcoming who showed us to our room. The room was beautiful and spotless. Lovely clean white bedding. Large tv on the wall. A really good supply of tea coffee hot chocolate and biscuits. A very clean bathroom we found nothing to complain about. The breakfast was fantastic and a really good choice served in a light and airy dining room on the same room as the bedrooms. The owners of this b and b deserve to be a success the are so warm and I would not hesitate to stay again

A fabulous B&B offering home from home accommodation. Morton and Una are excellent hosts who make you feel really welcome. The breakfast is superb, all fresh produce and cooked as you like it. Ideal location for Dumfies house, Ayr and Prestwick.

B&B where we were welcomed personally with a handshake. Large room upstairs with all facilities, good beds. Some traffic noise, but not too much, to keep you awake. Good restaurant within walking distance. Very good breakfast, fresh rolls.

I was looking forward to stay at Ardwell but had to cancel due to illness. The owners were very understanding and helpful in arranging a full refund for me. Excellent service and hopefully we will be able to visit soon.
