A perfect restful break!

Dalmellington House

One of the Bedrooms

Complimentary Therapies in the Centre

Margaret and George Connell recently went for a short break a at Dalmellington House - beautiful boutique hotel in Ayrshire owned by East Ayshire Carers Centre. They told us all about their stay. "Travelling by car is always more enjoyable away from motorways and we had a leisurely drive on Monday 30th August, down the A702 to Abington, B797 to Mennock (not for the fainthearted), A76 to New Cumnock and B741 to Dalmellington.  We were warmly welcomed on arrival at the Centre and as the weather was perfect we just relaxed in the sunshine in the garden at the back of the hotel.  As we were the only guests we were consulted about the evening's menu.  The two course meal was excellent as was the full breakfast on offer the following morning.  The bedrooms are up one flight of stairs (sorry no lifts!) and the bedroom could not be faulted.  We spent most of Tuesday visiting friends in Prestwick but still had plenty of time on our retrun to have a quick walk round Dalmellington before enjoying another excellent dinner at the Centre.  On Wednesday we took a short drive to Loch Doon and enjoyed the views and a picnic lunch.  Having earlier noted that complimentary therapies were available at the Centre the afternoon was spent being thoroughly pampered - it was relaxing and also invigorating.  Our last evening meal was again very enjoyable.  Throughout our stary the Centre staff were very friendly, helpful and certainly participated in making our stay most enjoyable.  We took a different way home going north up towards Edinburgh.

It was a perfect and totally restful break!
