Prestwick Hotels
The Scottish golfing resort of Prestwick on the country's Western coast just south of Royal Troon had the honor of hosting the first 12 British Open Championships at the Prestwick Golf Club. Prestwick's hotels draw both golfers and hikers following the Ayrshire Coastal path along Prestwick's and Troon's beaches by the Firth of Clyde (see the Resources section below.) The Prestwick Golf Club welcomes visiting gentlemen and lady golfers with respective handicaps of no more than 24 and 28.

The Hollies

A two-minute stroll from the Prestwick Golf Club, the Hollies is an 1860 Victorian family-run bed and breakfast with six stylish and well-appointed en suite guest rooms. Each has either a full bath or shower room, Freeview LCD television, free Wi-Fi, tea and coffee tray, iron, ironing board and hair dryer. Immaculate white bed linens and thick white towels complete the sense of pampering.

Guests awaken to a full Scottish breakfast served in the Hollies' elegant breakfast room. They can choose from a cold selection of juices, fresh fruits, cereals, yogurt and cheese, or request hot items including freshly cooked eggs, sausage and bacon. With advance notice the staff will happily accommodate special dietary needs.
