Malin Court Hotel

Absolutely beautiful place. Unfortunately this visit was for a funeral. However the staff was attentive and everything was great. The tiered cakes, scones and sandwiches were excellent. Will most definitely could back and have some meals here, very impressed

Malin Court is unusual as it is an hotel and a care home. We stayed overnight in a comfortable room with good en suite. Dinner and breakfast were imaginative and cooked and presented to a high standard. The staff are friendly and helpful

This place is just one of our most favourite places to stay. Food wonderful with options for high tea or dinner. Views are stunning, ideal centre for golf and staff are so pleasant and helpful. A real little gem.

Have not been here for years. Good size room with views over to the sea. Comfortable bed. Food was great value and the staff were so helpful and cheery even helping us outwith an early cooked breakfast. Look forward to next visit

We stayed in the Ailsa Suite which was very comfortable although if we had been there longer I would probably have moved the Suite's lounge furniture around! The staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful and the food of a very high standard all attractively served. Our three course dinner was entirely delicious - lovely steaks, and for our fine breakfast the following morning we both enjoyed the peat smoked haddock with poached eggs.

The hotel itself appeared to form part of a larger complex with retirement units. I think some of the retired people were making use of the dining room. I would be happy to return there.

Above and beyond expectations, staff so friendly and accommodating. The room was fabulous with lovely sea view. Nothing too much trouble. Breakfast could of been better but very happy to change around to suit. Will definitely stay again.

Not as good as it was in the past. Food is very mediocre and lacking variety. The steak was one of the poorest I have had in a long time. Service is OK, but nothing special, could be more attentive. Views are nice from the restaurant, but the decor is getting old and dated. Holes in the tablecloth shows the lack of attention to detail.

Excellent service provided by the staff at this wonderful little hotel. Room was very spacious, modern & spotless. The quality of food & value for money is fantastic. I will return & would highly recommend it.

Food was amazing as was the decor and the wonderful and friendly staff. I came here for a birthday meal and when I telephoned to see if we could come along, it was very late in the evening and they were going to be closing the restaurant soon but they stayed open for us to have a beautiful meal and fabulous experience. Couldn't thank them enough. Would highly recommend this place.

Dinner in an old folk's home you say? Well if anything it's going to be interesting! I was visiting my boyfriends' grandparents in the village of Maidens in Ayrshire and they offered to take us for dinner in Malin Court. 'It's an old folks home' bf's gran said with a cheeky glint in her eye. I didn't want to offend so just smiled politely and waited to see what we'd find.

Lots of wee old ladies sitting in a circle around some tea and biscuits, it's not. We drove up to the front of the hotel. On one side there's an old folks home and to the right there's the hotel and Cotters restaurant. Its open to the public however we were told some of the residents from the home do come in for their dinner occasionally.

As we had booked at 5.30pm we had to order from the High Tea menu which consisted of a main course plus tea, coffee and scones plus cakes. We sat down and were offered drinks, Once we ordered we were then given four portions of brown and white bread toasted. Thought this was a bit random but tucked in anyway as we were starving. Main dishes were pretty much pub staples with macaroni cheese, steak and onion pie, sirloin steak etc.

I opted for the scampi which came with carrots, peas and salad! As well as a huge portion of chips. Portions are generous here. It was exactly what I was looking for, hearty, crispy and tasty meal. Boyf had the haddock which was delicious, fresh crispy batter with homemade tartar sauce. Gran had the poached salmon salad which was absolutely enormous!

Two salmon fillets plus a mountain of salad, coleslaw as well as strawberries and raspberries dotted over the plate. Poor thing could only manage around a quarter of the plate. I did feel like it was a bit of a waste with so much food going untouched. After mains, we had teas and coffee with warm homemade scones with butter and jam (no cream unfortunately) and then meringues, strawberry tarts and rice crispy tray bake. Overall, it's the perfect place to take your grandparents or for a family meal, its great value for money with high tea from 11 all in inc the scones etc.
