Comfort and Courtesy

The Alpine Heights, the topmost tee
The winds that hustle, the winds that flay
The Slains, the stinging sand, the sea
Are pains that pass and joys that stay
When the Kilmarnock Arms embrace
With comfort, courtesy and grace
The worn out golfer from the bay

All the rooms are complete with an ensuite bathroom, flat screen TVs with built-in Freeview & DVD Player, coffee and tea making facilities , CD/Radio Alarm Clock , Hairdryer, Iron and Board.  Wireless Internet is also available on a complimentary basis throughout the hotel.
