Overall Ratings & Reviews Adamton Country House Hotel

Ideal for overnight stay prior to morning ferry

Rooms were clean but communal areas were dirty

Heating on 24/7 in summer and tv didnt work

I didnt like people slamming doors

This hotel is NOT the standard expectation of a country house hotel. Part of the building is an old property with a more modern Annex e attached. The photographs are misleading. There is no restaurant, meals are served canteen style in a room more akin to a school dining hall. Kitchen staff shouting and swearing, food running out and what was available was very limited in choice and dehydrated. We booked an executive double room on half board for 2 nights. After the first day experience we went elsewhere for dinner and breakfast even though we had paid hotel for it. The bathroom had a leaking sink and toilet roll holder and towel holder coming off the wall, same with bath panel. Shower was over the bath but no non slip or bath mat and no grab rails making it hazardous to use. No toiletries apart from a tiny disc of soap. Room had a blind on window but no curtains so light wasn’t blocked out. No cushions on bed even though photo shows them. Wooden Bed frame had been repaired with screws where frame had been broken No daily housekeeping service. Rooms only serviced every 4 days according to receptionist. The only good thing about this hotel is the beautiful grounds, but would say avoid this hotel and definitely don’t buy half board.

Much improved since my last visit - room had been repainted, new furniture and beds, old dank bathroom converted to bright walk in shower room and new carpets and curtains - only downside was the 3 foot single beds have been swopped out for narrow 2 foot beds.

Building a bit tired,in need of an upgrade. Staff helpful and pleasant.

The friendliest hotel we have stayed in but head office not very good. I requested an accessible room as my wife has mobility problems but this request had not been passed on to the hotel. This resulted in a room with a shower but a long walk from recption. Please note the restaurant is a long way from reception in the opposite direction and one floor down. There are many tour coaches using the hotel so it seems that catering will have a good idea of evening meal numbers but they still managed to run out of mash potatoes very early. They then offered roast potatoes which I am lead to understand take twice as long as mash to prepare. The kitchen staff could be heard arguing which is very unprofessional. My last comment was the size of both the bed and duvet. In the age of hotel beds being king size or twin a double felt small and even at this size the duvet barely covered the bed with no side drape at all. As the nights were warm that was not a problem but might be one in winter. All this was balanced by the friendly and helpful staff.

We checked in extremely late, but there was desk staff , and the process was very quick. We were only in the hotel to sleep as we had a wedding nearby. We were in the newer building which is functional and clean. The rooms in the original building though looked amazing. Wood panelling everywhere and a real stately home vibe. Our package didn't include breakfast. Parking was plentiful. When we check out a lovely lady (I didn't get her name) gave us some amazing recommendations. I would like to say thank you to her. She recommended Dean Castle in Kilmarnock. We spent a wonderful few hours there. Thank you so much for your advice

nice view

Great welcome from reception. Comfy bed and a nice surrounding. I would stay here again.

Staff were so friendly! Went the extra mile

Staff were very helpful and polite. Cleanliness could have been better.

Upon check in we was greeted by pleasant staff. We was given 2 rooms in the main hotel building. The rooms was absolutely huge, very clean and comfortable. We only stayed due to close proximity to the airport. After reading some of the reviews we was a little apprehensive to what’s to expect but it was better than expected. We are in the hotel restaurant and was pleasantly surprised the food was nice beef stew with tender beef. Only th big that they didn’t have was food for the kids but they ate free also which was good. Parking was very busy and was throwing down with rain so wasn’t great having to walk far in the morning but again not a complaint. Would stay again if in the area

The first room assigned was dated and beds were very poor. Our shower had 2 hot taps which made the shower unusable. After speaking with helpful staff member we were moved to what looked like a refurbished room which was much more comfortable. It was a shame we were not assigned this room to begin with as it dampened our stay.

Hotel is okay, staff trying their best, but constantly short staffed, bar and food only available at limited times.

Terrible Experience – Would Not Recommend This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I booked a non-refundable family room through Expedia, and upon arrival at the hotel, I was told that all family rooms were unavailable. I was shocked—especially since this was a prepaid booking—and left scrambling to figure out alternative accommodations late at night. It felt like the hotel had overbooked, similar to what sometimes happens with airlines. This was the first time something like this happened to me in the UK with a prepaid reservation. In the end, we were forced to settle for a much smaller double room, which was clearly not suitable for a family. The hotel did offer us free breakfast as compensation, but honestly, it was not enough to make up for the stress and inconvenience. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Even if you have a prepaid booking, I advise you to be cautious. Try to arrive early in case there are issues with your reservation so you have time to make other arrangements if needed. Always have a backup plan because this hotel may not honor your booking. Thank you, and I hope this helps others avoid the same experience.

Really friendly staff, clean quiet room, perfect for a quick overnight stay which was all we wanted and very reasonably priced

Very pleasant and peaceful stay

Excellent hotel and very handy for the airport
