Latest Irvine hotel reviews
iaint Says: Anytime I've been to the harbour, the museum has been closed. You can see some of the exhibits through the railings. Some others, either decaying or being renovated (hard to tell) are beached in the vicinity.The vessel in the forground of the picture is a "puffer". This was...
Cafe Cafe ((A Taste of New York): Ideal for a snack meal
Tommo5226 Says: Cafe Cafe, situated at 158, High Street, Irvine, is the ideal town centre place for a mid morning or afternoon tea or coffee. It also serves light meals, including cooked breakfasts, burgers etc.The food is excellent and very reasonably priced. The traditional burger
The Ship Inn: The Ship Inn is a must for anyone visiting Irvine
Tommo5226 Says: Without doubt, The Ship Inn is the most popular pub/restaurant in Irvine. This can be gauged from the numbers who are regularly turned away as they haven't taken advice and booked in advance. Bookings are taken from Monday to Friday, but on Saturday and Sunday, just turn up...
The Ship Inn, Harbourside Irvine: A One off Experience
Tommo5226 Says: The Ship Inn is a not to be missed experience, but not for the diet conscious nor the lettuce and tomato brigade.The food is gargantuan and very reasonably priced. The ambience in the pub is second to none as one would expect from a family (The Murrays) run...
always changing names! unfortunately: the little italian restaurant on the high street
tanneddarling Says: i love the food here and always go when i go home.its very cheap and has an italian cafe type feel - although it´s all inside as it can get quite cold in irvine.
iaint Says: I've been going to this part of Irvine for about 6-7 years because my son plays ice hockey at the adjacent leisure centre once a season. I've often been tempted to go into the Ship Inn for food or drink, but in Feb '10 I finally did it.Nice atmospheric traditional...
get a zone card or family travel ticket
tanneddarling Says: if you are traveling around the local area - and not just to irvine - ask at the train station about zone cards and family travel tickets.all the local services come under strathclyde passenger transport - but they are run by various different companies - which means buying...
jgacis Says: Driving around Irvine is not so bad, although it does rain often. Just remember also that unlike American roads, you must drive on the left side of the road. You may want to take a taxi or let a more experienced driver take you around first if you've never driven this way...
tanneddarling Says: watch out for the junkies in the high street and the gypsy beggarsthis is totally a new phenomanon in the town.just ignoring them is your best bet - and keeping your hand on your wallet - which should be safely tucked inside your front pocket - not in a back pocket or inside...
tanneddarling Says: the magnum leisure centre is not exactly like it used to be...it used to be famed for being the biggest leisure centre in europe. now it's just run down and very sad looking - which is a shame enjoy it while it's still here - they are talking about knocking it down if you...
tanneddarling Says: great fun on a nice daytake the dogs a walk around the massive country park - there's usually something going on there.take the kids to the swing park or the ruins of the castletheres a visitor centre and information place too - and a wee cafe that opens mostly in the summer...
iaint Says: Huge multi-sport centre. I've only ever been to the ice rink, which is small and dark.Its one of the least attractive venues on my son's circuit of ice hockey fixtures. Everytime I've been, there has been a posse of 13/14 year olds smoking at the front entrance. Someone...
Tommo5226 Says: The area around the harbour, where the two rivers meet is a mecca for bird watchers with a marvellous variety of sea birds to view.The views across the Firth of Clyde to the islands of Arran and Ailsa Craig are wonderful, particularly at sunrise and sunset. The Kintyre...

For me, its a hockey destination. The town is more commercial/industrial than a tourist spot. It does have a beach, and a golf course with a good reputation, plus a few other things to do (see tips),...
