Belleisle Park

Belleisle Park is on the south side of Ayr with a Mansion House Hotel, Cafe, Golf Courses, Walled Garden, Summer House, Woodland Walks, and Kids Play Areas.

The Hotel was undergoing remodelling work, with this work put on hold just now.

Regular buses run between Ayr Bus Station and Alloway village, dropping off and picking up at a bus stop by the main entrance to Rozelle Park and east entrance to Belleisle Park.

There are also Buses that run between Ayr Bus Station and Doonfoot, dropping off and picking up at the main entrance to Belleisle Park. The Park is about one and a half miles south of Ayr town centre. Map.

The new Golf Clubhouse with a Cafe was built between the Belleisle and Seafield golf courses in about 2016, 100 yards to the right of the Hotel in the image above, with the Cafe having views over Seafield Golf Course. Belleisle Park visitors are welcome to use the Cafe.

Belleisle Summer House was rebuilt in 2015/2016, almost identical to the original.

Belleisle House and Gardens looks are attributed to the Hamiltons of Pinmore, who took over the estate in the late 1700s. They acquired more land for the Estate, and extended the Mansion House.

Ayr Burgh Council bought the Estate in 1926 for £25,000, opening the Grounds to the public free of charge soon after.

The Walled Garden is a great quiet spot to relax in sunny days. This is a good example of a Walled Garden in a typical large Country House Estate, although they were originally built to grow vegetables and fruit.

This was a popular place for Weddings up till the Hotel closed. The Gardens were a great spot for Wedding Photos.

The image below is of the Kids Play next to the Walled Garden. This Play Area was opened in the summer of 2015.

See the Alloway Walk Page that shows Rozelle Park and Alloway Village that are next to Belleisle, often visited at the same time.
