Girvan Hotels and Guest Houses

The great city of Girvan is one of the best examples of the natural beauty that can be found all throughout Scotland but more notably in the South Ayrshire part of the country. Here you'll find all of the wonderful and gorgeous features that make up the quintessentially Scottish experience: Rolling hills, sweeping cliffs, and gorgeous coastlines merge into one fantastic feast for the senses. It is little wonder, then, that Girvan is a wildly popular destination for holiday travelers looking for a seaside resort that boasts more natural splendor than manmade diversions. This isn't to say that the lovely resorts and hotels in Girvan aren't topnotch and highly enjoyable, though; on the contrary, Girvan boasts some downright fantastic vacation spots that allow you to revel in luxury as you gaze longingly at the incredible scenery. The Royal Hotel in particular is a great spot to stay and it offers some of the best local fish in town as well as real ale made in the hotel. All year there are exciting boat trips that allow visitors to see the lovely sea and bay and even take a trip to the Firth of Clyde. It is here that a tourist can lay eyes on the lovely Ailsa Craig and, if you're lucky enough to be visiting during the summer months, you can take a classic paddle steamer trip on the Waverly line all around this impressive landmark.

One needn't be in the water to enjoy the sights and sounds of Girvan, though. The age and grandeur of the town ensures that you can have a fantastic time simply by perusing the many fascinating landmarks contained within the city. One of the most notable spots that every tourist ought to take a look at remains the famed Culzean Castle. This phenomenal edifice was once the home to the Marquess of Ailsa (of the Craig fame) and this is the same castle that can be seen on the back of the five pound note in Scottish currency! If you're fortunate you may even be in Girvan during the town's annual Girvan Folk Music Festival. During this event many of the country's most popular folk acts perform to throngs of adoring fans. There is even a Girvan Burning Man festival that takes its cue from the popular American festival of the same name.

For those who love the game of golf there is the lovely Tunberry Golf Course. This is one of the most lauded courses in all of Scotland and that is truly saying something given the massive proliferation of golf courses in the country. Put simply, there is a seemingly limitless list of adventures that can be undertaken when visiting Girvan. Whether you go there to locate the fabled "Hairy Tree" (one of Girvan's most popular folk ghost legends) or you are simply visiting to relax in the rays of the sun you can be sure that you will have an enjoyable experience that will remain with you for the rest of your days.
