A host of Ayrshire and Arran businesses are celebrating after being included in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide 2024. 

The hotels, restaurants and pubs have been acclaimed for the quality of their real ale by member's of the region's Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) branch.

Below is the full list of businesses across Ayrshire and Arran that have been included in the list...

  • Chestnuts Hotel, Ayr

Local branch members chose the venues following regular visits to check on the quality of the real ales on offer.

They also took into account customer service, décor and overall atmosphere at each of the venues.

A CAMRA spokesman said: “These pubs all deserves their place in the Good Beer Guide 2024.

“It is our belief that if a licensee serves an excellent pint of real ale, then everything else in the pub, including customer service, quality of food and atmosphere, are likely to be of an equally high standard.”
