Lock in a great price for Braidmead House - rated 9.7 by recent guests.

to get started.

I'd like to say something negative about our stay, because next time we visit Irvine we won't hesitate to stay again and I would hate for Braidmead to be fully booked...but I honestly can't! What a gem of a place and what a lovely warm welcome.

Daijam, United Kingdom

The welcome was warm. The whole house was heavenly. The breakfast was beautiful. We'll be back.

Pamela, United Kingdom

Just a lovely place to unwind after a hard day's work. Very welcoming and you can see the pride of the owners shine through in the service they provide.

Victoria, United Kingdom

Spotless. Good shower. Comfortable. Very welcoming staff. Cant fault anything.

James, United Kingdom

Diana was incredibly friendly and very helpful, many thanks for my lovely stay, would highly recommend Braidmead House to anyone looking for accommodation in Irvine, very close to swimming pool.

Donna, United Kingdom

We were treated like royalty from the minute we arrived until the minute we left.dianne , Paul and Alison were extremely friendly. The room was very large with two very comfortable beds, the standard of the room was extremely high. The bathroom was done to such high standard with a separate bath and fantastic power shower.The lounge was extremely comfortable and furnished to a very high standard, guests were free to use this at there leisure Tea/ coffee and toiletries were supplied. A dish of sweats was also in the room. The breakfast was superb and the portion extremlyn large, and it is the best hotel I have ever been in for gluten free. I would highly recommend this hotel, in my opinion it is 5 *

Esther, United Kingdom

Diana prepared the best Sottish breakfast we had in our 2 weeks tour. The room (n.3) was lighty and airy, and the windows very efficient in keeping out noise. Room and bathroom were spotless. Diana is a very pleasant landlady and she was helpful to suggest us an excellent restaurant for dinner (The Waterside in west Kilbride).

Patrizia, Italy

Diana, Alison and Jim went to extra effort to make sure that we had everything we needed. They were all very friendly and helpful. They were able to make detailed recommendations about local amenities and made bookings for us when we asked. Great Steak Sausages, by the way. Highly recommended.
