No.2 Troon Road B&B

Spent one night here on our way to Ardrossan for the ferry to Arran. Room was spotless, facilities were great and there's a nice restaurant a short walk away. It's on a fairly busy road but this was no problem at all. Parking around the back and easy access via a key box. Very comfortable night's sleep.

Stayed for 2 nights! Room was spotless and beds/pillows are super comfy.. owner was so welcoming and recommended a lovely restaurant for an evening meal. Added bonus of meeting Freddie the family pet. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

It was only after arrival that we discovered that No2 Troon Road was no longer offering Bed and Breakfast. In fairness the confirmatory email had stated ‘No meals included’ but No2 Troon Road’s booking portal confirmation on which I had relied made no reference to this. All but the most recent reviews on their website and on Trip advisor referred to excellent breakfasts. On return home I have looked again at the web and their website ＜no2troonroad.co.uk ＞was headed ““No.2 Troon Road B&B, Bed & Breakfast Accommodation in Troon Top rated comfortable Troon B&B, Bed and Breakfast accommodation “ The only website reference to 'no food' was buried in FAQ, so I feel my misapprehension was understandable I quite understand that Covid has caused disruption to standards but every other B&B in which I stayed since the pandemic has made changes explicit prior to booking. My view of No. 2 is therefore jaundiced. • All contact with proprietor Douglas during our stay was via SMS – only on departure did we see him. • Although the bed linen was spotless, the bed cover reeked of B.O. • The room was cold and it took an SMS call to get the heating turned on • Bed firmness is a matter of taste but any movement by my wife or myself was reflected across the bed –‘soft’ doesn’t come close to describing it • Being 6’2” the bed-head and loo being tucked under the ceiling eaves were most inconvenient. Definitely not value for money – our next stay in the area will definitely be elsewhere.

We stayed one night 17/09 in No. 2, Douglas greeted us on arrival, very welcoming. Room was immaculate, 5 stars for cleanliness. lovely welcome tray on arrival, tea/coffee/biscuits. Bathroom and shower very good with little extras like cotton buds. Ironing board in the hall, which I was delighted with and used. Breakfast was not on offer but Douglas recommended a few places in nearby Troon, we had lovely brunch in Lido's will definetly go back if in the area.
