Seamill Hydro is a family resort and spa overlooking
the Firth of Clyde. Situated just metres from the
beach, it’s no surprise that the hotel complex has
become a firm favourite with visitors to Ayrshire.
The hotel’s ornate Victorian flourishes belie a
thoroughly modern interior, complete with bright,
airy rooms and exquisite spa facilities. As famed
for its leisure facilities as its plush guest rooms,
the complex includes the popular Seamill Hydro
Kids Club, while grown-ups are just as taken with
the HydroSpa with offers a range of advanced
therapies alongside a pool and gym. Sunday lunch
at the Orangery promises three courses for a fixed
price, with mature Scottish beef, seared fillet of
salmon and pan-fried sea bream just some of the
delicious ingredients to be served with locally-
sourced produce. Elsewhere, fresh, satisfying fare
can be enjoyed in Aura Lounge.
THE GAILES HOTEL
Marine Drive, Gailes, Ayrshire, KA11 5AE

The privately owned Gailes Hotel is proud of its
independence. The contemporary hotel has a
boutique feel to it; it’s a place where the welcome
you’re extended upon checking in runs right through
till the moment you depart. Rooms at The Gailes
are every bit as swish as you’d expect of a four-star
establishment, with plasma screens, wifi and warm,
luxurious decor. For special occasions, the private
suite includes a jacuzzi, sauna, rooftop garden
and self-catering kitchen. When hunger pangs
set in, guests can retreat to The Zest Restaurant.
Warm walnut wood and soft furnishings stick with
the contemporary theme, while the menu draws
on locally sourced ingredients that are cooked to
perfection. The hotel doesn’t just host weddings; it
also hosts wedding fairs, where brides-to-be can
plan their perfect day right down to the last detail.
Whether visiting Ayrshire for business or pleasure,
there’s a lot to fall in love with at The Gailes.
