Howard Park Hotel
Kilmarnock, Strathclyde

We're situated in a beautiful area in the Ayrshire town of Kilmarnock, where there is much to explore. We offer our guests a friendly and relaxed atmosphere throughout their stay with us. Situated on the South West coast of Scotland, there is much to do during your stay. The town of Kilmarnock offers one of the largest pedestrianised shopping centres in Scotland. Within the town there is also a museum, an art gallery and a large library, all of which are a great sight for visiting. The town is only 35 minutes by car from the contrasting city of Glasgow for those who wish to explore the region. This also means that it is convenient as it is very near to Glasgow airport. The Arran ferry is also very close, a mere 20 minute drive from Kilmarnock.

Kilmarnock is twelve miles north of Ayr in east Ayrshire. The town's Burns monument - the largest in Scotland - was erected in 1879. It is indeed a very large structure, and is the highlight of a visit to important local amenity Kay Park. Kilmarnock's most impressive building is the Dick Institute, opened in 1901 and re-built in 1911 after a fire. It houses the local library and museum, and the exterior sports some excellent monkey puzzle trees. Dean Castle, dating back to 1360, has lovely wooded grounds.
