The Waterside Hotel

A night away from it all in a hotel overlooking the Ayrshire coastal path is always an excellent idea.

However, it becomes an even better idea when that night includes a two course dinner each.

And even better still when, following your meal, you can sink into a bubbling Jacuzzi bath in your deluxe, maritime-style room.

You will find all of this and more with today’s 5pm Big Deal for a stylish overnight stay for two at The Waterside Hotel in West Kilbride.

Escape to the Firth of Clyde

Popular with walkers, golfers and anyone who enjoys a scenic coastal escape, The Waterside is a welcoming boutique hotel in Seamill, West Kilbride.

Part of the family-owned SimpsInns group, the hotel’s restaurant makes the most of its stunning, water-edge location with views across the Firth of Clyde to Arran.

Not only does it have great views — it’s also a good looking place in its own right. New England design combined with maritime features give it all a look as fresh as a sea breeze.

Ample free parking is available for guests.

Deluxe overnight stay

This Big Deal is for an overnight stay for two people in a deluxe double or twin room with a Jacuzzi bath.

In the evening, you can enjoy a two course meal for two in the Waterside Restaurant, which has a stylish nautical vibe. The next morning, you can tuck into a full Scottish breakfast before heading on a bracing coastal walk and breathing in the reviving Ayrshire air.

The offer is available Sunday to Thursday until 31st March 2019, meaning you can either enjoy it as a cosy winter getaway or early spring treat. Children under 12 can accompany you for a supplement and under twos can stay for free.

Gorgeous maritime-style rooms

The Waterside promises that its deluxe rooms are ‘some of the finest in Ayrshire’. Expect panoramic views at every turn and all of the contemporary mod cons you could need.

The Cape Cod design vibe continues in the rooms, blending the best of Scottish scenery with New England charm.

The bathroom has a luxurious Jacuzzi bath with a shower and Arran Aromatics toiletries. Other features include a king sized bed, flat screen Smart TV, tea & coffee making facilities, desk, telephone and free WiFi.

If you fancy cosying up together in comfort then you can order room service and bathrobes.

Scenic restaurant

The Waterside Restaurant offers maritime decor and fabulous Firth of Clyde views. It includes a heated verandah and private beach garden dining for warmer evenings.

The cuisine combines Scottish favourites with international flavours. Local provenance, especially from Ayrshire, takes pride of place across the menus.

Taste of Ayrshire and beyond

Your two course meal for two can be a starter and main or main and dessert from the set menu.

Here is a sample of what you can expect (please note that some dishes may have supplements):
