Great hotel with plenty of ambiance and amazing views. Relaxed atmosphere and our dog was made very welcome . Efficient friendly staff. Very comfy bed . Very handy for touring the island. Generous portions of food at breakfast and dinner. Good to be able to sit out in the beer garden which is right on the sea front. We would definitely stay here again .

Some minor personal dislikes. Coffee at breakfast was quite bitter and the only milk available was from the milk cooler machine which made the coffee instantly lukewarm. Dining room rather characterless. The bar area is much nicer. Placing of tables for two very close together especially at breakfast wasn’t great . A personal gripe of mine though . Might not bother other guests. Maybe tables for two in the dining room could be up against the walls and tables for bigger groups in the middle of the room?

Excellent location and beautiful surroundings. Quiet atmosphere and homely interior. Very professional and friendly staff (Reception and Food & Beverage). Small, single room, but warm and very clean; bathroom was spotless. Delicious full Scottish breakfast. Expedited check-in and check-out.

Parking space is limited; at peak hours you may need to find a spot elsewhere, which may not be in immediate proximity. The Roman blinds prevented the window from opening fully and obstructed the air flow. The bathroom fan was rather noisy and didn't have its own switch, so it came on every time the light was on.

What a wonderful welcome and stay we’ve had. All the staff were super helpful and nice and the location of the hotel is a slice of heaven. My partner was attending a local event and was a great base. I was there for rest and relaxation and was equally great for that too. The garden with the firepit was perfect for March nights and our dog had the best time. We never felt awkward with our wee dog which made it all the nicer. Lots of great local walks. We stayed in the Holy Isle room and loved being able to open the windows to wake to the sound of the waves and see along the beach and island. The food was great and a large selection of choices. Many thanks all, we’ll can’t wait to come back.

Very friendly and helpful staff, particularly Angela, who is a real asset to the hotel. Breakfast really good. Excellent quality bed linen. Lovely large, well kept, beer garden at water's edge.

No TV in room, very little space in en-suite. We paid extra for a sea view but slightly disappointed that our room was at far side of hotel which meant missing out on seeing a beautiful sunrise. Parking is available but unfortunately there are a limited number of available spaces.12% service charge on dinner seemed a bit high but don't mind as long as it is all distributed to staff.

Great friendly staff all over hotel. Great coastal location. My room was lovely but very hot when arrived. Needed window opened and a fan to cool down. I had been touring all day so was looking forward to a rest. Needed to go for a walk til it was cooler. I like TV in my room, so I missed that note about the rooms not having TV. There are TVs in the bars downstairs. Lovely bar garden by the seaside. It was a lovely evening to be outside and enjoy it. Nice modern artwork prints on walls.

No TV in room and also room cooler on arrival would have suited me.

Our third visit and again it didn't disappoint. Great friendly staff offering excellent service, accommodation, and food. Set along the coast from Brodick and a great base for all travellers, whether in a car, on foot, or a bike. Dog friendly, too, with a fantastic bear garden. I would highly recommend it. The owners are on an improvement journey, and during the last twelve months, they have replaced all the windows and erected a grand fence around the beer garden - A credit to their commitment which is still ongoing with more to come 👏

Nothing

Good. Located along the coast with a view overlooking the sea. About 20 minutes drive from Brodick. Smaller room with private (but not en-suite) bathroom. Good choices for a freshly prepared breakfast. Dinner possible at the hotel. In theory a nice area for picnicking just in front of the hotel (but no outside food and drinks permitted). Free semi-private parking on street (could be an issue during peak season).

Several steep staircases to reach the room. Awkward arrangement with the location of the bathroom across the hall way (dedicated to the specific room but in principle accessible by everyone).

Lovely hotel in great location staff. Staff are all lovely too. Loved the fact we could take 3 dogs and the whole hotel is dog friendly. The enclosed beer garden opposite hotel was a bonus.

I didn't like the fact there is no TV in the rooms. Had I known this I wouldn't have booked this hotel. Silly me just assumed everywhere has a TV. This is the only reason I would not book this hotel again. I would have liked to relax and watched TV or a movie after being out exploring all day.

We had a great stay – the room, food, atmosphere, and facilities were all excellent. Particular shout-out to the staff, who were all very lovely and ever so helpful despite some difficult requests (e.g at one point we were soaked through after walking in the braw Arran weather, and the staff couldn't help us enough, offering a heater and tumble-drying our clothes). A beautiful location too, of course!

Honestly not much! As a late sleeper I would have preferred breakfast to be available after 9:00, and a slightly later checkout (but on the plus side it did give us more of the day to enjoy Arran!)

The cooked breakfast was fine, and quickly served. The lunchtime and evening menus offered a good variety. I had a lovely lunch at a table overlooking the sea. There was a problem with the evening meal, but I was offered a partial refund. All of the staff were friendly, and one member of staff carried my heavy case up to my room. The decor was classic. Everywhere looked spotlessly clean. The location is ideal, on the coast road overlooking the sea and close to a bus stop.

The single room was adequate, but tiny, and on the top floor, overlooking buildings at the rear. The walls were thin. The corridor outside was busy and noisy, due to other guests. Maybe some ear plugs would have helped. The floorboards and bed were very squeaky. There is no lift. For the price, I expected more choices of cold continental foods at breakfast time, different cereals, maybe fruit salad. There are no televisions in the rooms. There was one in the bar, but it wasn't switched on. I'm guessing it is just used for sporting events like football.
