Ayr Burgh Council purchased the Estate in
1926 for £25,000, it has been opened to
the public free of charge since.
Next to the Mansion is a Pergola with
Tropical Plants & Walled Garden, a top spot
for Wedding Photos.
Work to convert the other side of the
Estate, to the Belleisle and Seafield golf
courses, began in 1927. Belleisle Mansion House
was then run as a Hotel overlooking the Golf
Courses.
The Hotel was being redesigned and extended
by a private company with the work expected to
be completed in 2016. This work was delayed
when almost complete, then in 2019, the Mansion
caught fire while repair work on the roof was
taking place, leaving only the shell.
The Council has since bought the Mansion
back, they are now looking for companies to
restore the Mansion so it can be used once
again as a top Wedding Hotel.
