The Howard Park Hotel is a beautiful three-star hotel that is situated in the Ayrshire town of Kilmarnock. The town of Kilmarnock offers one of the largest pedestrian shopping centers 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. The Arran ferry is also very close, a mere 20 minute drive from Kilmarnock.
