The historic Jack Miller Hotel on Princes Street is finally about to be renovated.

It has been a long wait for work to get under way on the old building, left boarded up for many years. However, the B-listed building is finally about to get a new lease on life, redeveloped to provide accommodation for offices of several businesses in town.

The renovation program is being run by the Irvine Bay Regeneration Company. They also hope to provide financial support as part of a larger private investment, to renovate the Harbour Bar as well, reviving it as a bar and restaurant as part of a drive to support the development of the entire marina.

Work on the Jack Miller Hotel began on October 26^th, after the Government’s Town Centre Regeneration Fund managed to get almost £1.5 million worth of funds.

The renovation is part of a larger program by the Government of Scotland to fund development projects across the country, having raised a total of £60 million for the same.

Baroness Margaret Ford, Chair of Irvine Bay, stated that “Bringing this building back to life will make a tremendous difference to the look and feel of Ardrossan and I am delighted that we have a contractor in place and are starting work.”

The work is being carried out by McLaughlin Construction of Irvine.

Even though Ardrossan is a small town, there are several places where a traveler can find comfortable accommodations for their stay. From small, intimate B&Bs to a unique and luxurious mansion stay, you will find it in Ardrossan.

If the intimacy of a B&B is more to your liking, the charming Clyde Crescent Park House offers a magnificent view across the Clyde to Arran. In addition to the overlooking the Ardrossan Harbour, Clyde Crescent Park House offers three large bedrooms of varying sizes, a lounge with a wide screen television, a balcony to enjoy the view from and a front garden for guests to use.

For a small additional fee, Clyde Crescent Park House welcomes well behaved pets. For holiday goers that bring their bicycles, they do have convenient and secure storage. The host is a local artist so his gallery is in the B&B and you may just find that perfect picture to keep your memories of your visit to Ardrossan vivid.

North Aryshire is rife with many opportunities to stay in unique holiday accommodations and Ardrossan is reflective of that. Accommodations run from extremely affordable to very expensive. Let your budget dictate where what accommodations are best suited to your tastes. Whether you stay at a B&B, a hotel, or a country mansion; you will find the people friendly and the sights incredible. There is no lack of activities to occupy you during your stay.
