Other things to note Guests bringing their pets should note that we do not allow pets to be left on their own during your stay. There are plenty of dog friendly restaurants etc in Ayr and we do have a doggy book with lots of information, including dog friendly restaurants. We have substantial experience of welcoming dogs, and whilst we know that they are your best pal, and behave impectably for you, when in an unfamiliar environment, with a range of strange smells, they can become stressed which can result in them marking furniture, or going to toilet in the property. Clearly this is not acceptable. If you do want to go out without your dog, we do have a dog sitting service. We charge a minimum fee of £25 for up to two hours. Subsequent hours are charged at £12.50 per hour / part hour. This includes, dog walk (on lead – extendable lead). Registration Details SA-00128-F
