The Southfield Hotel

Our first visit to Girvan and stayed here based on TA’s reviews and we are surprised the hotel gets such positive reviews and such a high score. Girvan is a nice harbour town and the hotel is conveniently located for the town centre, the harbour, coastal walk and golf course. The lady who runs it is very nice and friendly, breakfast is good, a cooked breakfast has to be ordered the evening before but we didn’t find that a problem. The main issue was our bedroom, the bathroom, carpets and furnishings are a bit tired and dated and the over-bath shower worked poorly. Given TA’s reviews we had expected better

Very handy location for the town old fashioned building had to pre book breakfast room had everything you need wifi was good shower door did not close when in shower water leaked out and it jumped between hot and cold not serving evening meals when we were there so I recommend going Austin’s 5 min down the road Breakfast was fine good well cooked produce plenty parking right place for the money

We stayed here for two nights at the end of a two-week touring holiday in Scotland, the Southfield is very welcoming, and we found the bed to be the most comfortable of all the beds we slept in that holiday. The location is very good and the property has more than adequate parking. A generous supply of teas and coffee for the rooms. The breakfasts were excellent, well organised and laid out and the food was delicious. We had dinner on the second night and were really pleased that we did. Lovely home cooked food, ( the fish pie was delicious) with very friendly service and very reasonably priced, as were the drinks from the bar. Yes, It has been previously mentioned that the Southfield decor in some areas is a little tired, but it more than makes up for it in customer focus, comfort and cleanliness but above all value for money. All the staff were without exception friendly and very helpful.

Back to my cheesy song titles again... .....First time in this hotel and definately wont be our last. We booked direct and Kerrie was so obliging . Two nights stay and wish it could have been more. We were visiting my folks in a care home locally and needed to be close by. We had passed the hotel many times before and always thought the building looked very elegant and its even more so inside. Its clean and fresh and love the high ceilings and the feature stair case. No lift but the walk to your room works off amazingly well cooked food we had and prepares you going down to work up an appetite for the cooked breakfast. I like the division between the bar area and the restaurant and people did eat in the bar but we wanted to sit in the restaurant. It was spacious and well in line with the covid regulations. The first night on arrival it was a lovely evening so we sat around the back in their beer garden area and enjoyed a lovely bottle or two of their Spanish Chardonnay pre dinner drinks. The meal we had the first night was for hubby the Prawn Cocktail and it had plenty of prawns and the sauce was a lovely mild Marie Rose Sauce. Well this gal loves a plate of lentil soup and it was homemade and well tasty. See the empty plates. Mains we had Steak Pie (again home made and who doesnt love a bit of puff pastry..yum) The meat inside the pie was plentiful and so tender. Potatoes cooked perfectly and new potatoes and just enough veg to compliment the meat. Me I splashed out on the Highlander steak see menu. Asked for rare and it was just right ( a wee bit goldie locks and the three bears). The Peppercorn sauce was lovely and creamy and enhanced the flavour of the sirloin. This lady knows how to cook !! Having beef we had a wee glass of Red Wine Merlot with the main and to finish a wee cheese board with a Port for me and an espresso for my hubby. Took a bottle of wine to bed and had a great sleep. Unfortunately we got back too late to enjoy a second nights dinner and hubby was looking forward to the Fish Pie ( maybe next time). Quite an extensive menu and choice to suit all tastes considering that this hotel caters for residents only. Walkers, workies, business people or anyone who fancies a wee night away. Within walking distance to the beach and town . Trips to Ailsa Craig and if you want to eat out a choice of Chinese , Indian, chip shop .Thanks guys for a lovely stay. First class !!!

A fine hotel with great staff,the food was wonderful I had a steak for tea,the breakfast was just as good with a varied choice of food, the room was alright the bed comftable, the hotel is though tired and needs some updating

I asked Sandra if they would be able to arrange some drinks for my in-laws arrival as an Anniversary surprise! She went over and above by arranging a bottle of prosecco, some beer, flowers, chocolates and a card! It was so kind of her to do that and I and my in-laws were so appreciative of that! She also sent me a picture of it all set up in the room! Couldnt ask for better customer service! Thankyou!!!
