Alloway, on the River Doon · Hotel

A recently renovated riverside hotel in Alloway, next to the bridge and kirk immortalised in Burns's Tam o' Shanter.

About Brig o' Doon House Hotel

Brig o' Doon House Hotel stands on the banks of the River Doon in Alloway, looking directly across to the bridge, Burns Monument and Auld Kirk that gave Robert Burns the setting for Tam o' Shanter. A multi-million-pound renovation has brought the hotel's rooms and public spaces up to a high standard, with categories ranging from Executive Rooms to the new River Suites and a separate Honeymoon Suite.

Tales Restaurant serves modern menus with river views, including à la carte, breakfast, vegan and low-gluten choices, alongside afternoon tea in the lounges. The hotel also operates Kirkgate House as additional accommodation nearby.

Its location makes it one of the best-placed hotels for exploring the Burns Birthplace Museum and Alloway's literary sites on foot, while Ayr town centre and the beach are a short drive or taxi away.
