Fairfield House Hotel

Congratulations, Charlie Bucket. You have found the last golden ticket! Get ready for a candy-coated adventure…

Grab your own gilded ticket with today’s Big Deal for a Charlie & The Isle of Arran Chocolate Factory afternoon tea for two people.

Yes, that’s right – chocolate afternoon tea.

You’ll also get a bubblegum cocktail or mocktail, although we can’t guarantee that it will be served by a cheerful Oompa Loompa (shame).

Fairfield House Hotel is an elegant seafront establishment in Ayr. So once you’ve finished your feast, you can prance along the beach singing the Augustus Gloop song.

No one will mind.

A world of pure imagination

Behind the scenes at Fairfield House Hotel, Willy Wonka has been conjuring up an epic spread for you…

First you will get a bubblegum cocktail (or a child-friendly mocktail) and a mystery amuse bouche.

You’ll also tuck into a selection of sandwiches, which will include the likes of beetroot cured salmon, cheese savoury and ham & rocket wrap.

Now comes the chocolate bit. You will get handmade truffles by James of Arran chocolatiers, mini Baileys crème brûlées, white chocolate muffins, dark chocolate sphere pear mousse and scones (including chocolate scones, which is just too perfect).

Obviously, there will also be a kumquat & popping candy jelly pot. Now, while we don’t quite know what that is, we do think it sounds supercalifragilistic.

Castles in the Ayr

The Fairfield House Hotel has panoramic views over the Firth of Clyde to the Isle of Arran. Once you’ve drunk in the view, you can explore the nearby attractions.

These include Culzean Castle, Dundonald Castle and Dean Castle, all half an hour away by car. Burns Cottage is where Scotland’s National Bard was born and Ayr Racecourse is also great for a thrill.

The Electric Brae is an optical illusion that makes freewheeling cars look as if they’re being drawn up a hill by an invisible force. Fun.
