Ayrshire’s SimpsInns Hospitality Group had a very good night at the recent 8th annual Scottish Prestige Hotel Awards, taking the accolade of ‘Scotland’s Best Spa & Golf Hotel 2025’ for The Gailes Hotel & Spa, Irvine.
The group’s Waterside Hotel at West Kilbride was also ‘Highly Recommended’ in the awards’ Four Star Hotel category.
The judging panel praised The Gailes for its ‘exceptional facilities and service’.
The Irvine-based Simpson family is the driving force behind SimpsInns, which owns and operates a collection of hotels, restaurants, bars, spa, golf, and leisure activities along the Ayrshire coast, including The Gailes, The Waterside, and Loans Inn at Troon.
Malcolm Simpson said: “We’re extremely proud to have been recognised once again as an industry leader and for offering some of the best hotel, spa and golf experiences in Scotland.
“This latest award success for two of our hotels is testament to the hard work of our amazing team, who continually go above and beyond to ensure every guest enjoys a fantastic experience with us and keep coming back.”
He added: “Continued investment has been a key strategy for the growth of Simpsinns over the last three years, with over £4 million invested across the group.
“We’re committed to enhancing the quality of the guest experience across the group, including our newly refurbished restaurant at Loans Inn and the addition of 17 new bedrooms and sea view spa at The Waterside later this year.”
That new Waterside spa is to feature an indoor relaxation area, sauna with sea views, steam room, spa lounge and large outdoor area with experience showers, fire pit and large hydro pool overlooking the beach.
