Braidmead House  

In the heart of Irvine, set in a grand Victorian house just 2 miles from the sandy beaches of the Firth of Clyde. Walk to Irvine Burns Club, Glasgow Gailes and Dundonald Links, or drive 5 minutes to Irvine Golf Club. The Big Idea and Ardrossan ferry to Brodick are about a 20-minute drive; Kilmarnock is 8 miles away.

Completely renovated and restored, Braidmead House blends Victorian character with modern touches.

Free on-site parking and complimentary Wi-Fi throughout. Free gym and sauna use, lift access, dry cleaning, ironing and a safe-deposit box. Reception with luggage storage and transfer service available, plus in-house evening entertainment like karaoke — and wake up to sea-breeze mornings just minutes from the shore.

Complimentary Wi-Fi across the property — reliable high-speed internet to keep you connected.

A choice of traditional Scottish breakfasts is served daily, with continental and vegetarian options. Fresh ground coffee and espresso available in the guest lounge, and rooms come with tea and coffee facilities for a relaxed start to the day.
