Christmas has arrived at Piersland House, and the team is embracing the season with warmth, friendliness and the relaxed atmosphere our guests enjoy year after year.

As December unfolds, the hotel is alive with activity — from festive lunches and lively party nights to indulgent short breaks that make Piersland a favourite winter destination on the Ayrshire coast.

A Festive Season Built on Comfort and Tradition

Piersland House becomes especially inviting at this time of year. Across the Walker Lounge, the Red Bowl Restaurant and the Garden Suite, our traditional fires are burning, creating a cosy backdrop for gatherings with friends, family, colleagues and guests returning for their annual celebrations.

Our ever-popular Christmas Lunches are now underway, filling the dining rooms with conversation, good food and relaxed festive spirit. Party Nights continue to be a highlight, bringing groups together for an evening of dining, dancing and celebration.

For those looking to unwind, our Festive Breaks offer a peaceful winter escape complete with excellent hospitality and the comfort of a beautifully decorated country house hotel.

The Return of #JacktheElf — A Much-Loved Community Tradition

Our hugely popular #JacktheElf competition has also returned, bringing together thousands of participants from across Ayrshire and beyond. Each evening at 8pm, a new question is posted on Facebook, with one prize awarded every day for seven days. The competition has grown into a fun and engaging community tradition, and we’re delighted to see so many families and regular followers joining in once again.

Hogmanay: A Two-Day Celebration by the Sea

At Piersland House, Hogmanay is more than a night — it’s an experience. Our two-day Hogmanay holiday is designed for guests who want to make the very most of the turn of the year.

The event begins with our Hogmanay Ball, featuring:

• A glass of champagne to start the evening
• A traditional ceilidh to get everyone dancing
• Beautifully prepared seasonal dishes
• A lively countdown filled with music, atmosphere and celebration

And because we’re just steps from the beach, New Year’s Day brings the perfect opportunity for a brisk coastal walk — the ideal way to refresh, reset and begin the year with clarity and energy.

A Team Dedicated to a Warm and Welcoming Christmas

What truly sets Christmas at Piersland apart is the team who make it all happen. Throughout December, our staff work tirelessly across the hotel — from the Walker Lounge to the Red Bowl Restaurant and Garden Suite — ensuring every guest enjoys exceptional food, attentive service and a genuinely warm welcome.

Whether you’re joining us for lunch, celebrating with colleagues, or enjoying a peaceful winter break, Piersland House offers a festive experience built on comfort, tradition and friendly hospitality.
