An Ayrshire Wetherspoons has won acclaim for the quality and standards of its toilets.

The Wheatsheaf Inn in Kilmarnock has been awarded a platinum grading in the Loo of the Year Awards 2024.

Inspectors were impressed by the standard of the toilets at the pub as they rated it highly on an unannounced visit.

The awards are aimed at highlighting and improving standards of ‘away from home’ toilet provision across the UK.

Loo of the Year Award inspectors judge each venue’s toilets against numerous criteria, including décor and maintenance, cleanliness, accessibility, hand washing and drying equipment and overall management.
