First time at The Globe Inn and an outstanding three course lunch was served for the gout of us.The quality of the food and service was top notch with the attentive staff explaining each course which heightened the anticipation. A truly high class experience of the highest order. I can recommend it without qualification.

We ate at the Bistro on the eve of the French food and wine pairing. Everything about that meal was excellent. Food flavors, sauce complexity, presentation and the associated wines were carefully combined, selected and prepared. Mason, more than the server and manger and the fellow who put the menu together was knowledgeable and fun. A perfect night in Ayr.

I've eaten a few times here and the food has always been really good with friendly staff. Last night's Indian food theme night was exceptional value for money, lovely choice of food and friendly staff. We look forward to the next themed night here.

We had a great experience with Stravaig, in terms of food and service. Professional and courteous staff made our Brother-in-law’s birthday special. Highly recommended it.

Loved having lunch as a group. Never had bad food although it was a different menu in place. Service was a bit slow however in fairness we were told that when we arrived. Great time there and enjoyed the ambience.

Went for dinner as staying the night at the hotel.After reading previous reviews we weren't really expecting much. However we were pleasantly suprised as really enjoyed our meal. We were greeted by a smile from the waitress who was both friendly and polite as were the other staff. We had the beef shin and flat iron steak. Both were excellent and would highly recommend both of them.
