Visited here for the first time. Sat outside with husband and two dogs in the little beer garden as it was a lovely sunny day. Had the mussels to start and they were the biggest mussels I have ever had, lovely food and great service. Will definitely be back.

Our stay was wonderful. We enjoyed our time at The Loans Inn. The staff were very lovely and helpful. The bed was cozy and the pillows were great. Perfect location close enough to the beach or town but far enough to enjoy complete peace. Cannot wait to stay again.

Great location, lovely staff and perfect weekend away. From check in to check out, the staff could not have done more to make our stay a pleasant experience. The room was perfect and our meal in the restaurant was great. Recommend you stay here if in the area and want the personal experience.

The steak pie has to be the best in Ayrshire. Huge portions as well and great value. The service was outstanding from Brooke and Nell. I would absolutely recommend going. It’s quickly becoming my favourite place to eat. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. It’s also dog friendly which makes it even better. Really enjoyed it thanks guys!
