An Ayrshire travel agent has reopened its doors after a significant makeover.

Hays Travel, in Ayr’s Alloway Street, was closed for just over a fortnight so that transformation work could get underway.

It’s part of a nationwide makeover of all the Hays Travel branches, after the firm took on the former Thomas Cook offices in 2019.

Now the Ayr venue is fully operational and staff hope that customers old and new will be impressed by the stunning changes within the premises.
