ByTheSea Ayr, Ayr

Set within a stunning conservation area of Victorian and Georgian townhouses, this family-run guesthouse is ideally located within 5 minutes’ walk of the beach and Ayr’s restaurants, bars and shops.

Bythesea has recently been carefully refurbished to provide a host of modern comforts whilst still retaining its original Victorian features. The bright and airy guest lounge provides the perfect setting to while away the evenings, whilst the enclosed patio area is available for a spot of sea air. Both areas are child friendly, and there are even toys for the little ones.

Boasting a very central position, Bythesea is within easy walking distance of all of Ayr’s attractions, including a children’s indoor and outdoor activity centre; Pirate Pete’s; Putting Green and Crazy Putting; an indoor leisure centre; Gaiety Theatres; shops; restaurants; and Ayr’s beach.

Queens terrace is considered to be Ayr’s premier seafront location, with Victorian and Georgian town houses framing the spectacular backdrop to the sea.

Bythesea is also just 5-10 minutes from Brig o' Doon at Alloway, the birthplace of Robert Burns.

Your hosts, Julie and Wilson McIlwaine, will endeavour to provide you with all that you need during your stay, including a wealth of information on local tourist attractions, shops and restaurants.
