What guests think

The Harbour Guest House earns consistent praise for spotless rooms, comfy beds and smooth self check‑in, with many noting the handy walk to the station, town centre, pubs and beach.

Rooms are generally compact with modern decor; several praise powerful showers, while others note tight bathrooms or occasional noise. Service feedback highlights clear communication, easy self check‑in, and a helpful owner, though keypad entry can be finicky and staffing is mostly remote. Guests often enjoy the scenic harbour views, and on‑street parking is usually easy. Overall, expect a straightforward, good‑value stay suited to short visits.

Very clean guest house. Maintained to a high standard. The rooms are quite small but adequate. Everything you need. The best shower anywhere we have ever stayed. On road parking but never an issue to park. Plenty if places to eat. Only annoying thing was it took quite a few attempts to get in with the key pad.

Small but comfortable guest house on the harbor. Few amenities and only a few restaurants in walking distance, but within easy reach of Troon by car. An affordable option if you are travelling in the region by car.

We had a lovely stay. The room was beautifully decorated and equipped. It was clean, comfortable and warm. There was plenty of off road parking outside the hotel. Situated perfectly for both shops and lovely coastal walks. Plenty of nice places to eat. We would highly recommend the Harbour Guest House and would stay again.

Very good, simple instructions to gain access, quiet and cosy room. Very powerful shower, comfy bed and good size TV. Wifi was good and strong, simple desk and shelving perfect for a few nights. Great location 5 mins from shops and train station. Plenty of food options near by and bar too. Perfect for the maritime museum.

I was disappointed that the hospitality tray had dusty corners and hair from a previous guest on the sachets of tea/coffee. Also, when I got into the shower and adjusted the shower head, a disposable razor used by a previous guest fell to the shower tray. It must have been balanced on the shower head. That suggested the shower cubicle had not been properly cleaned. Obviously, a falling, previously used by another person, blade isn't great when one is naked in the shower.

Decor, facilities and the check in process was excellent. Bathroom was too small for my liking. Can’t give an assessment on the staff as I never met them. Calls into question the focus of some aspects of the questionnaire if the only contact was a remote online process.

Booked double room which was very small, small double bed against one wall which made it difficult to get out of bed to use toilet without disturbing partner. On the plus side it was very clean and had tea & coffee making facilities. Ok for one night stay but wouldn’t want to stay for longer.

Easy check-in, nice clean and quiet room. Unfortunately, I accidentallydamaged what I thought was the bathroom flush, and contacted Nick straight away. He told me not to worry at all, and explained that he would sort the problem out when he arrived. Fantastic owner, I would imagine that certain other people would take advantage of this and try and request extra payment. I would recommend this place, and would definitely stay here again.
