The hotel has reached new heights under the present incumbents, Adam and Jan, and is very successfully presented as a comfortable country house hotel. The rooms are adequate to large in size, with good-sized en-suite bathrooms (shower or shower/bath). Decor is kept in good order and cleanliness is good. Adam oversees the kitchen, with a focus on locally-produced food resulting in excellent hearty breakfasts (featuring full Scottish, kedgeree, kippers, smoked haddock and toast from bread made on the premises) and high-quality evening meals (very good seasonal game and fish) served either informally in the bar or in the restaurant, both with fires in the colder months. The wine list is well-chosen, with something to appeal to almost every pocket and palate. Among the many things that make the Trigony unique are the home-baked shortbreads in the rooms, the artisanally-made toiletries and the views of red squirrels in the garden. The service is just what one would expect: real quality!

My family stayed here for 3 nights and loved every minute of it. The hotel took care of our every need. We arrived late at night to check in and the chef offered to still stay up to cook us dinner, and it was amazing! Beat whiskey and Best Veggie Haggis I had on the entire trip! The rooms were beautiful and the location was perfect. Thank you for the free umbrellas, the free wifi, and letting us barrow some outlet converters. We love and appreciate all you have done for our family during our stay. We hope to be back again! Xx

There is ample parking outside and the hotel is next to the Solway Gate which is fantastic. This is an excellent priced hotel where kids stay free. The only downside is the hotel does not offer air-conditioning.

We have a 6 week old baby and it's so nice when staff are understanding of the difficulties faced at times with a newborn. The staff seated us next the fire so that we were warm and away from drafts. The food is wholesome but doesn't really rock the tastebuds. My starter of breaded Brie was done well and Hubby's lentil soup was piping hot (a must for soup!). Both were palatable and enjoyable. I opted for lasagne which was served with salad and chips. It almost reminded me of a school lunch in that it was comforting. Hubby's burger was well seasoned and quite tasty! Dessert was homemade profiteroles in chocolate sauce. It was tasty but didn't rock the tastebuds. It's a little out the way from Glasgow as it's just outside of Kilwinning. However there's a good sized car park and the staff are simply lovely. Great value for money in that we both had 3 courses and a few non alcoholic drinks for the grand total of £25. All in all we were happy with the meal and the staff made it even better.

I was just married yesterday and the whole event was seamless. All of my guests had a great time and enjoyed every aspect of the wedding- from the owl ring delivery to the fireworks in the evening. Many claimed it was the best wedding they have ever attended. I enjoyed myself and the day was virtually stress free. Lilly, Deborah and Sarah were so willing to bend over backwards to make sure my day was perfect. All of the servers and bartenders were also on point. Our bartender was providing scotch education to guests and many of my guests really enjoyed this. Even after the dancing ended, the evening manager went out of his way to make sure guests were fed and happy. He even made us cheese bread when the sandwiches were consumed. I would highly highly recommend Auchen Castle. You won't be dissapointed!

The check in and out were quick enough and the receptionistd Nick and Alex were very helpful with all sorts of inquiries and needs I had, like trying to get the lamp to work. lol Its true that some rooms might need an overhaul, but it's nice to rest in an old hotel that was opened in 1938. A few paintings in some of the bedrooms and even the bathrooms would make the rooms even more cozy. The bathroom I had looked and felt like a hospital bathroom. The estate and previous house however has much more history and even goes back to the dark ages. The house has also has connections to Robert Burns who apparently made uninvited advances to the lady of the house and was banned from the estate. A small cottage, called Hermitage, nearby was used by him when he stayed in the area and he left part of a poem inscribed in the glass window. Lots of walks along the river and around the house can be enjoyed. The dining experience was a bit on the meager side as not much choice. For 2 course you pay £21, what is not good when there is nothing on the menu you like . Having said this they make exceptions. Everybody was really nice and I will definitely be back!
