Boasting panoramic views over the Clyde to the Isle of Arran, and only 5-minutes’ walk from Ayr town center, the hotel presents itself as the ideal base from which to explore the beauty of Ayrshire.

The hotel is a highly recommended choice for golf breaks, with over 30 superb courses in the Ayrshire area. Why not take advantage of the hotel’s complimentary tee-off booking service, available to all guests? If you want a break from the golf course, the hotel’s location is also close to many attractions, including Ayr's long sandy beach and a large play park.

Horizon Hotel is only a short drive away from Glasgow Prestwick International Airport.

This is our guests' favorite part of Ayr, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.

  • When is the best time to visit your property for the perfect beach holiday?

    If you enjoy having the beach all to yourself choose to visit straight after the Easter Children's Holidays through to the end of June. Summer, July and August, is lovely but the beach gets busier.
