Ayr offers tourists a range of accommodation options from cozy bed and breakfasts to upscale hotels, catering to various budgets, though generally considered to offer good value for money.
The city centre is a convenient and lively choice for those looking to be in the heart of the action. With a mix of traditional and contemporary hotels, the city centre puts you within easy walking distance of Ayr's main shopping district, a variety of restaurants, and cultural sites such as the Ayr Town Hall and the Gaiety Theatre.
For those seeking a more tranquil experience, staying along the seafront might be the perfect choice. Hotels and guesthouses with stunning views of the Ayrshire coast are popular for their proximity to the beach and the esplanade, which is perfect for peaceful walks enjoying the Scottish seaside.
Visitors with an interest in golf may wish to stay near Prestwick, just a short distance from Ayr, where some of the world's most revered golf courses, including Royal Troon and Prestwick Golf Club, are located. The area offers premium accommodations with easy access to both the links and Ayr's amenities.
Ayr can be navigated with relative ease. The town is served by a reliable network of buses, which connect the main tourist areas and extend to surrounding villages and attractions. Taxis are readily available and reasonable in price. For those preferring to drive, the town's roads are generally well-maintained and signposted, though parking can be limited in the busier central areas during peak tourist season.
