Lovely Hotel

Lovely hotel. Room was clean and comfortable. Food was excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel had a great atmosphere. Only thing I would suggest is a shelf in the shower for shampoo e.c.t. Other than this perfect stay and would definitely return

Was here for my husband's 70th Birthday. Had a meal here the night we arrived which wasn't great. Soggy battered fish and greasy chips. The baked alaska was a let down too, the icecream and sponge was so frozen I couldn't get my spoon into it as the meringue had just been done with the gun and not in the oven. Breakfast not that great either. The room was on the top floor, absolutely roasting and airless - tbf the weather was very hot so could be forgiven. The drain in the shower room was smelly so had to keep the door closed. There was a problem with the power to the room so we had no tv, nowhere to charge phones or make a cup of tea and no way to dry my hair so couldn't wash it. Again that wasn't the hotel's fault, just unfortunate but definitely not ideal. On the plus side the staff were all lovely

The only place to stay

I finally went back to Arran after 24 years and this hotel, the staff and the locals made my trip one of the best I’ve experienced. Travelling solo with a baby was always going to be tricky but they all made our lives so easy and comfortable. I’ve never experienced customer service like I did here, they really are amazing! Already planning to come back in a few months.

Highly Recommend

Looking out towards Holy Isle, this small hotel is a lovely place to stay when visiting Arran. Staff were friendly and very helpful, food was excellent. The garden was perfect to relax in after a hilly round of golf! Highly recommended

Nice room, mostly nice people

Room was lovely, great view from hotel, a little unfortunate that room was above smoking area so room smelt a little bit in the evening. Staff were kind apart from one who we unfortunately had to deal with at dinner and at check out.
