A West Kilbride business has been named Best Bed and Breakfast of the Year for the third time in a row.

The Carlton Seamill B&B won the accolade in the South West regional category at the Scottish Hospitality Awards.

Avril Rennie, owner of the B&B, said: “I must admit I was amazed. “In life you hope for accolades, but you don’t expect them and to suddenly find yourself winning awards is amazing. I appreciate it very much.

“It was a complete surprise, I never expected such things. I’m very grateful to everyone who put me forward.”
