We had booked a return journey with car, both legs of the journey were efficient and service was good. Cant fault the facilities onboard as the cafe has nice food but a tad overpriced and plenty of seating including a pet area. The shop and bar was closed due to covid but we cant wait for new ferry to be ready as it will make such a difference!

This is a beautiful little memorial garden, it's always well maintained and looked after, with a few nice wee benches to sit on. You hardly notice it from the road as its sunken into the ground, but nice wee place to sit and relax if your out for a wee wander around!

We visited this while looking at ardrossan castle. It's a lovely monument which is well maintained. The views are amazing as you can see 360 degrees. Plenty of picnic tables and benches and if your following the ardrossan heritage trail theres QR codes to scan for more info. Definitely worth the steep walk for the views alone!

Lovely place to go a walk around with dogs or just for families as there’s also a swing park it’s got stunning views over Saltcoats beach and over arran and is absolutely beautiful on bonfire night to watch all the fireworks! The castle is rarely open but on an odd occasion it is and you can wonder around the castles remains.
