From the owner

The Gables is a superb 19th Century beach front Victorian villa, , six double bedroomed detached red sandstone villa with stunning panoramic views across the Firth of Clyde to Arran, Ailsa Craig and the Heads of Ayr. As well as glorious sunsets across the sea, we also have a view overlooking the first tee at the world famous Royal Troon golf course and easy access to many other golf courses in and around Troon.

The property boasts a magnificent beamed wood lined reception hall with stunning staircase leading to the upper levels. A large ornate drawing room with double wooden doors leading to a more informal TV / sitting room. A dining room with ornate cornicing and traditional furniture and views of the rear garden. The oak kitchen, which has a 4 oven Aga, alongside conventional oven and gas hob, can be used for breakfasting and leads to a sitting area overlooking over the garden which in turn leads to the conservatory with more seating and less formal dining. There are six bedrooms ,which are ,three king size, two doubles and two singles .Four of the bedrooms have wash hand basins. There are 2 bathrooms and one ensuite

There is a cloakroom with wash hand basin and toilet downstairs

The West of Scotland is famed the world over for it's sailing which can be accessed from Troon Marina. The town is also among the best Kitesurfing locations in the UK and can be enjoyed from South Beach directly in front of The Gables.

Although a small town there are also excellent restaurants in Troon to suit all tastes and budgets including: Lochgreen, Lido, Piersland, The Two Fat Ladies, Scott's and of course the award winning Wee Hurrie to name but a few.

Response from the owner
NIGHTMARE GUESTS PLEASE AVOID. In 6 years of being a host on Airbnb, these are by far the worst guests we have ever had. Their untruthful account of their stay has been fabricated simply to claim a full refund from Airbnb. They claim that there was a problem with the showers. There was not. We had guests solidly for two months in July and August, prior to this booking, and two bookings already in September. There were no reports of any problems and we had good reviews from these guests. My plumber and myself have checked the shower system, and again, no issues or problems. They took photographs of several “staged” issues to back up their claim. They said there was trouble with one of the beds slat system. However , there was no notification of any problem to us, during the rental period, and we believe they had removed some slats themselves. There was a baby’s 6 month+ nappy (not used) in the back bedroom wardrobe. They claimed it was used. They had an eight-month-old baby who stayed with the parents, in the back bedroom . They claimed dirty underwear was found in one of the wardrobes. This statement was not true, all sixteen wardrobes were cleaned, emptied and checked prior to the booking. No dirty underwear was ever found, we believe it was removed by the guests on their departure. The house was professionally cleaned following all COVID-19 rules, before and after. In order to support their claim, they used the race card, and called me racist and rude. We considered this to be laughable, as the guests were of Asian descent. My two children and wife are also of Asian descent. I had no conversation at all with them regarding any refunds. On the day of departure there was damage to the wooden floor in the lounge. We have photographs of the floor before and after the rental. They have decline any responsibility. I really don’t want to comment on their observations of the value of the house, their minimum wages, the cost of their holiday, and much more, all to back up their claim from Airbnb. I think all you have to do is to look at out reviews to realise this has all been made up. The day after their arrival they asked us if they could have a free extra day because of their fictitious problems. This ,I refused, this perhaps, is a contributory factor in their antagonism toward us. We will not be recommend these guest to anyone.
