Annie was a perfect host. Everything about the place was top class. Cleanlieness was faultless and the environment supurb.

Excellent time and excellent breakfast <3 loved every minute x

I’ve stayed in countless 5 star & boutique hotels, but they could all learn the meaning of ‘immaculate rooms’ & ‘great service’ from the Retreat at The Knowe Auchincruive Estate! Perfect venue & location for walks in the country or along the coast - my stay wasn’t long enough! Annie the host, was absolutely lovely & highly knowledgeable about the Ayrshire area! She couldn’t do enough, and the breakfast was fab! I will definitely return!

Rural location. A lovely, helpful owner and a very comfortable room with everything we needed

Annie, our host, was wonderful, being very welcoming, friendly, and informative. The location was exceptional, situated as it was, within a countryside estate with beautiful walks along paths by the River Ayr in wooded surroundings. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and every facility you could wish for was provided. It was particularly nice, at the end of each day, to enjoy the long summer evening sunshine relaxing in the spacious gardens of the accommodation. Ideally located, only short distances away from many of Ayrshire's coastal resorts and picturesque villages. A very wide range of choice for breakfast was offered, provided by our cheery host. In addition, Annie left some very generous 'extras' in the bedroom fridge ready for us to enjoy on our arrival!

Annie is a warm and welcoming host. The Delux Suite at the Retreat is incredible. Complete luxury.

A beautiful home in a beautiful setting. A wonderful host who makes you feel so welcome and cooks really delicious breakfasts.

Beautiful apartment in gorgeous surroundings, sumptuously designed and furnished by Annie, the owner. Wonderful breakfasts made and served by Annie herself in her own large and beautiful kitchen. We very much enjoyed meeting and chatting with her and appreciated all her recommendations and help.

The breakfast was good. The property was in a lovely location with nice walks, would recommend.

This has to be one of Ayr's best hidden gems Absolutely fantastic place arrived as strangers departed as friends Annie the host is a Wee gem in her own can't wait to revisit
