A top Ayrshire resturant chain is set to shut its hotels until coronavirus restrictions are lifted. The Gailes Hotel and Spa, The Waterside and Old Loans Inn will stay shut until the current travel ban is lifted - with chain SimpsInns stating its other venues will remain open. The Gailes will also still remain open on Christmas Day for customers who have booked and assured any expired vouchers will remain valid. Owners Karen and Malcolm Simpson thanked customers for their understanding but said the latest restrictions left them with no option. A statement said: Unfortunately, due to the current restrictions, we have taken the decision to keep our SimpsInns hotels closed until such times as the travel ban has been lifted. Although we have tried to remain open and operate responsibly, the latest restrictions mean we are left with no option but to temporarily close the three hotels; The Gailes Hotel & Spa, The Waterside and Old Loans Inn
