The Ayre Hotel

We love this hotel. Nothing is too much bother for the cheery, polite staff. The whole hotel is spotless and up to date. Food is delicious. We stayed for 4 nights as part of a Glenton bus tour. This hotel is rated 3 star but we would give it 5 stars all the way!

Lovely hotel clean rooms and comfy beds. Had half board. Breakfast was ok evening meals where chaotic even with a pre order they don't have any staff and outside residents they where run off Their feet and gaps in service staff are lovely. Loved the bar cheap beer for. Hotel sad to leave could have stayed a week

We booked a one-bed flat which had a good sized living room with four comfy chairs, plus a small table and kitchen chairs, and a small kitchen with fridge which was good for storing beer, coffee and cheese. We didn't cook. The shower in the bathroom is spacious, not over a bath, although the bathroom itself is a bit mean - the toilet and handbasin are the wrong way round. The shower is a fixed overhead one, so difficult to keep hair dry as no shower caps provided. (Smacked of a man making a poor decision about shower heads). Also, considering the flat is accessible, there are no hand holds in the shower. The bedroom is a decent size - same as a hotel room, with good side lights for reading in bed. The shutter over the window is white, so in the summer the room is brightly lit nearly all night. I had an eye mask in my bag which is essential here. Staff are all very helpful and pleasant. The flat and hotel were clean and tidy and quiet except the front door of the flats slammed shut so if you were near that it would be a problem. The dinner we had was fine, very decent food but nothing special. Same as breakfast. Location excellent, especially if you get a sea view. We paid a premium price as everything was fully booked, and everything on the islands is more expensive than mainland, as expected. Luckily the weather was great and there was lots to see and do. If it wasn't so expensive I would have given 4 stars.
