We recently had the most wonderful stay in the Lamlash Hotel. This was a return visit for me and a first visit for my daughter, partner, baby and dog. We stayed in the spacious family suite which was perfect for our needs. All rooms within the studio were clean, well appointed and the beds were comfortable. We were made to feel very welcome in the hotel and staff were keen to help us have a comfortable stay. The highchair and travel cot supplied were perfect for my infant granddaughter. The studio set up allowed us to be together as a family to cater for the baby while still being able to enjoy the delicious meals and friendly atmosphere of the hotel bar and restaurant. From breakfast through to dinner the staff were brilliant. Thanks to Kathy, Isla and Kyle for serving us food and for all the attention that you gave our baby and dog. You made mealtimes a real treat for the new parents and new Granny. Grateful thanks also to Lana and James who cleaned and serviced the family studio and who were brilliant with the dog. Another member of staff Lucy returned my glasses that I had left in the morning on the breakfast table, Her vigilance saved me a fortune! Meals made by hotel's chefs were of a really high standard.
Tips:As we had an infant on our visit to Lamlash Hotel, we ate breakfast and dinner in the hotel each day of our stay. The meals are recommended highly and we were never disappointed in any of our choices. The weather was lovely at the end of July but that did not deter us from ordering the Cullen skink on two separate occasions over the week long stay. My daughter and I also had an indulgent high tea with freshly baked scones on our last day. Definitely recommend this! The bar has a great selection of wines and spirits. Lots of nice whiskies for those who like a dram. Views from the hotel are wonderful. We had a brilliant holiday. Staff were great. Lamlash Hotel has to be one of the friendliest hotels I have stayed in and Lamlash is an unbeatable relaxed village on one of my favourite Scottish islands.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Wow! What a fantastic review,thank you so much.I will make sure all the staff see this,hope to see you again.

We were very excited to stay at the hotel after seeing it win on four in a bed. We booked a family suite as we have two children. I was a little disappointed when I first opened the door as felt the suite was a little dated compared to the look of the other rooms on the hotel. The floor in the suite was lifting and was very noisy when walking on it which didn’t help at night or in the morning when you are trying to keep the kids asleep and we also heard a lot
Would Recommend: No
Owner Response:Thank you for your review,So sorry to hear of your disappointment.We have taken your comments on board and plan to refurbish the suite as soon the season allows,please get in touch next time you're going to be in the area so I can offer you a special rate.

Under new management since last time we were there a year ago. But still the same excellent quality as it was before. The new owners have kept hold off the old team which has helped keep a good continuity going forward. Hotel with great location, lovely and clean, bed comfortable, Meals excellent as always and very helpful and friendly staff. Regards Lee & Vee Kelly
Tips:This hotel has the best food on the Island, trust me on this one. Make sure that you book your evening meal early to avoid disappointment.

This was a lovely hotel and a great location with great views looking over to the Holy Isle. All staff we encountered were really helpful and friendly which always adds to the stay. Although the TV in the Family Suite was missing channels due to aerial problems, the TV did connect to wifi so could watch iPlayer, etc through that so didn't feel missed out on much. Also being offered a drink at the bar to make up for it was a nice touch as well. The only thing I would suggest would be the menu at the restaurant could offer another vegetarian dish in the mains section as well as the salad alternative, eg. a pasta dish or a curry. The bar is also very cosy and welcoming. Thanks for a great stay.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thank you so much for your review,we have taken your comments on board and hope to see you again.

Lovely friendly Hotel with an amazing team. Everyone played their part in making us welcome and feel at home. The team also welcomes the dogs.

Great job Team Lamlash

The location is amazing and Room was beautiful. Having to pre order breakfast was an absolute pain. Disappointing that the bar closed at 10.30 on Friday night and when I asked to take a night cap up to our room was told the till was done, so no!! The bar was pretty much full therefore I would say a missed opportunity closing early.
Would Recommend: Yes

Really enjoyed our stay, we visited with friends and would definitely go back. Only negative is we stayed in small doubles (only availability when we booked) which were fine except for the camp ceilings. If you are in any way tall I would not recommend. We are all of average height and none of us avoided banging our heads several times during our stay. Especially in the bathrooms. I don’t remember reading about the camp ceilings when I made the booking otherwise would have reconsidered due to past experience at another hotel. Only other minor point is some of the chairs throughout the public areas of the hotel could do with a shampoo as very badly stained and a bit off-putting when sitting on them.
Tips:If tall in height, avoid rooms on top floor.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:So glad you enjoyed your stay,sorry you banged your heads,it is an old building full of character so once again sorry for the headaches.Our upholstery is currently being given it's sparkle back after a busy ongoing season .Hope to see you again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is in a great location with shops nearby. Our room was in the attic but was perfect for us,really clean and had everything we needed and was nicely decorated. The staff were all very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us.we bought some cheese and food from the butchers which they kindly kept in the fridge for us. We had breakfast which was really good and dinner both nights during our stay and must say it was absolutely delicious,the chicken especially. We had drinks in the bar which we enjoyed and the staff were very friendly. We would definitely return.This was just a quick few days for us a part of our Golden Wedding celebrations and a first visit to Arran but hopefully won’t be the last.
Tips:Relax and enjoy this place,it’s so peaceful.

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay but although it is June the weather has been cool sitting in our room in the afternoon we were cold as there was no secondary form of heating and the main central heating was off. We appreciate that we are seniors and my husband is not in good health so feels the cold, but it might be something to consider for guests.
Tips:We loved the island but if you have limited mobility it can be a bit restrictive when wanting to see the sights
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thank you for your review,So sorry it should have been explained that the radiators are individually controlled in each room so you can set the temperature as you like.Once again,apologies.

Tips:Quaint and beautiful inn on the harbour. Owner and staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating. Had breakfasts and dinner on the property, all our meals were excellent. Right next to a bus stop, though I'd definitely bring my own vehicle next time; buses are very reliable but run times are more suited for students and workers than for tourists. All in all, would highly recommend Arran and Lamlash Bay Hotel - great experience!

First time staying in Lamlash usually Brodick. Last minute booking proved to be an excellent choice. Beautiful, spacious room with a clear view over the Holy Isle. Calm colour scheme in room added to the peaceful, relaxed ambience. Staff were all friendly and kind. Delicious breakfast with a great choice of menu. We hope to return very soon. Thank you
Tips:Leave car at home use the bus it's a regular service around the island. £7.50 for an all day ticket lets you see local life without stressing about driving and parking. Chat to local residents they have great knowledge of the area. Visit Brodick Castle its well worth the visit the staff are highly knowledgeable and bring the castle and its gardens to life.

Thank you so much for a fabulous stay to celebrate our Silver Wedding, and the gift left for us was such a kind gesture. The hotel was spotless, food amazing especially breakfast and pizzas, and extremely friendly and helpful staff who go the extra mile for you. The views are tremendous. Great pet friendly hotel ( loved the wee doggy pack🐾) but my only complaint is the curfew time at the bar, 8pm, we had to leave the bar early after our meal because our son was with us, but if it was just me, my husband and the dog we could have sat in the bar or outside till closing time. Could the licence be amended possibly?, if you arrive off the last ferry it doesnt give much time for families to have dinner, Apart from that we had the best time, gutted we only booked 2 nights, so will definitely be back again. Thanks again for making our 25th Anniversary so memorable xx
Tips:Book ferry tickets early. Bar only open till 8pm if you have under 18s travelling with you, very dog friendly. Internet not so great unless you are with EE
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thanks for the fantastic review,it's my first year as general manager here so the licenced hours is something I'll monitor this year and review for the future.Hope to see you again. Steve

Absolutely perfect location! Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars for cleanliness is the carpet wasn't hoovered very well by the balcony door. Reason for 4 stars on service was timeliness of breakfast service. I thought the intent of booking a time was to avoid congestion in the kitchen but that didn't seem to work out very well.
Would Recommend: Yes

Just home from a couple of nights at the hotel, we had another great stay. We stayed in the family suite this time and was nice having the living area to relax at night. Bedding was brand new and high quality, had a great sleep. Staff all friendly and helpful. This was not our first visit and will definitely not be our last. Looking forward to our next visit.
Tips:Co-op next door to hotel for any shopping or if you've forgotten anything or just grabbing a meal deal for lunch. The views are amazing from the hotel and lots of benches on the grass area opposite hotel to sit and enjoy the views, even sit with your lunch. If looking to have an evening meal in the restaurant book in advance as it can be busy.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thanks for the amazing review,hope to see you again.

Just had a great weekend at the hotel. Couldn’t fault a thing, the staff are all so friendly and nothing as a bother to them, they have a great rapport with the guests. We went with friends and had rooms 1 and 3, both rooms lovely, the complimentary tray was lovely and plentiful as was the dog treats and ball. We ate both nights in the bar as we had the dog and the food was excellent and good value. Will definitely make a return trip.

We had a fantastic stay my partner loved it for her birthday treat. All the food we had at the hotel was so tasty and fresh. The staff were all very good Isla and the male waiter who's name I've forgotten sorry. The only negative was the coffee in the room nescafe is so outdated on tea/coffee trays and uht milk yeuck. A coffee machine like a nespresso or dolce gusto would be better and fresh milk. But that's just personal preference. Everything else was fantastic.
Tips:Enjoy your stay here the food is good and the breakfast is also super filling.

I stayed before and never had these issues, but in my most recent stay, I found room 4 freezing as the radiator wasn't working, and even if it were, it is behind a curtain. I had to get a local friend to bring me a hot water bottle and heater to heat the massive room. The Wi-Fi wasn't working; the TV only showed terrestrial TV and the shower trickled out water. Thankfully, the breakfast was amazing, as always.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thank you for returning to the hotel once again, we really appreciate your custom and we are sorry this experience fell short. We shall ensure the radiators are turned up in ample time for your next arrival, it sounds like they hadn't warmed up enough when you arrived and its been super chilly this January, you should not have to bring your own hot water bottle, but your friend sounds very kind! We will ensure the team double check the room temperatures on check-in to avoid this happening again. I have checked myself today and everything is toasty & warm so sincere apologies' for your blip! We only have regular tv in the rooms at the moment, but this is good feedback to know guests may need more choice. The showers have a high pressure and an 'Eco' mode, we will make sure to point this out to guests to avoid any more 'trickles'....There is nothing worse! We couldn't detect any problems with the Wifi, but the team should always on hand if you need any help at any time, so please let us know if everything isn't perfect any time you stay with us so we can fix it there and then. Could you let me know if you book again so I can personally make sure everything is just right for you Joanna?

Another great stay this weekend, we were lucky to book one of the suites with a balcony at the front of the hotel which gave us a great view of the fireworks and bonfire on Saturday night. We got chatting to our neighbours on the other balcony and all had a great night. We've stayed here a few times now and we always look forward to staying again!
Tips:If available try and book a balcony suite as the views are amazing!

Lovely welcome from Isla and the rest of the team, we felt welcome from the moment we crossed the threshold of the place. Isla helped me with my luggage as I've ot been too well lately and we were taken to our room at the top of the place. The view was breathtaking and the room although compact had everything we needed although the bed and the duvet were a little smaller than we are used to. The Hotel bar was tastefully done out and the ornaments, wallpaper, pictures were very much to our liking and was a nice relaxed place to retire to after a day's walking. We used to have our last drink there then retire to bed. The restaurant was usually full showing how popular it was with residents and passers by also. We ate here twice during our 4 night stay and the food was superb. I had the pork and seaweed sausages one night and pulled pork pizza the next. My wife had Sea bass and prawns one night and the Blade of beef the next. All in all the experience was lovely and we would happily come again.
Tips:We came over to the Isle on foot and found the buses to be timeous. We went into Brodick one day on the 323 but were quite disappointed as there wasn't much there apart from the marvellous view so we were happy to get back to Lamlash as quickly as possible. I would suggest bringing a car as we were quite restricted as to venturing out. We loved Lamlash and if you are happy with quiet bars, one very good cafe, lots of dogs, also a lovely long promenade to walk up and down and take in the great view of Holy Isle then this is the place for you. We came because we had never been to the Scottish Isles before and this was the easiest to get to from Sale. We came by train via Glasgow, Ardrossan, Brodick.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Martin, your review has really captured everything that's great about Lamlash Bay and the hotel, our team are so keen to make a difference and treat their guests like old friends.

1. Why not include some salads in your dinner menu - perhaps chicken caesar salad & a few others would be nice to choose from. 2. It would be nice to have a selection of teas being offered in the bedrooms, rather than just being offered normal tea. (However, I brought my own tea with me to make sure I could have what I wanted)! It would be nice to have larger bath towels, yet I am only small in size! Apart from the above, I can't fault the hotel. Thank you for a nice stay! :)

The hotel has maintained a high standard for a number of years. The plants/ weeds at the front need tidied up and a knife for your side plate at breakfast would mean you didn’t get egg yolk in your butter and jam on your toast. These are very minor points and overall everything was clean, the food was good and the staff were very friendly. Ross and Grace were great. Meg the owner is very pleasant as well and you just can’t beat the views from the hotel. It is a shame it is for sale as the current owners both do a great job and I wish them well for their future.

What a wonderful stay. We had spectacular forest cycles, no take zone snorkels and a lovely cosy room to retreat to. We were fueled by the best breakfast we've had in a long time...generous and cooked to perfection.. The hotel is a great social space...snug pub and lively restaurant. The staff are the best. Thank you!
Tips:The Octopus centre is a really moving account of a communities fight to save their marine environment from destructive fishing methods. There's a really high quality interactive exhibition. The hotel is slap bang between that and the recommended snorkel trail sites. We saw relaxed flatfish, the biggest brown crab I have ever seen and gobies, star fish and wrasse...amazing! Just watch out for the seals...they need at least 100m distance to feel safe. Wonderful to see them hauled out stretching and relaxing in the sun along with herons and oyster catchers. Thank you Lamlash bay hotel for being so perfectly positioned.

We had a wonderful 3 nights stay at the hotel. We stayed in room 1, which is a large, bright, comfortable room with the benefit of a lovely balcony and great views of the bay, Holy Island and beyond. It's a good idea to choose a time for breakfast and to pre-order what we wanted as everything was ready for us in the morning. We enjoyed a meal at the hotel and enjoyed sitting on our balcony watching the sun go down. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and we would definitely recommend the hotel to other travellers. We look forward to our next stay at the Lamlash Bay Hotel.

Hotel bar and restaurant very busy reflecting the excellent food and atmosphere - breakfasts excellent also Big credit should go to the staff who exceeded expectations - all went out of their way to deliver an excellent experience and always friendly .

Slow death. Living of 4 in the bed. Over priced. No feed back when you are not happy with accommodation. Very sad could be good. Needs a lot of money spending on the building. First impression to hotel very poor.

Owner Response:Hello Raymond, I am pleased I had the opportunity to follow up on your issue after your stay. At around 8pm you had an issue with a toilet cistern that wasn't flushing properly resulting in a running water noise. The hotel was full so there was no option to move you to another room so I tried the next solution which was to fix the problem. One of the staff had come to see if there was anything he could do and suggested you keep your bathroom door closed for the noise. Miraculously I found a plumber who could come out at 10.30pm but you had informed us that you were tired and didn't want to be disturbed. The plumber came at 8am instead and had the issue fixed in minutes whilst you had breakfast. We are a small business and don't have a live in plumber, some people wait months on the island to get a plumber so I put it to you that under the circumstances we had done our best. Despite the wonderful comments we receive about the staff, I think you were disappointed that although both my husband were both working on your arrival day and departure day( the following morning) we weren't present to deal with you personally and the 2 stars are directed at us rather than our staff. We have reached out to you over this problem as our guest experience is what drives us to succeed in our business. Being on Four in a Bed has been wonderful for the hotel. We didn't apply to go on the show, they called us due to a cancellation, we agreed and filming commenced the next day. It was very much what you see is what you get. Although the show brought lots of new guests, our excellent reviews date back prior to the show and in the 8 years we have been running the hotel we have been consistently busy with good feedback. So " Living off Four in a Bed " is not accurate as we have enjoyed a long success on Arran. When we spoke on the phone I asked you how you found the room which was decorated only a year ago. You said you were happy with the room. When I asked you about breakfast and thanked you for dining with us the night before you said the food was good and the staff pleasant but that we were very busy and short staffed. ( We discussed hospitality wise this is the case country wide and you lived in a tourist area and understood the challenges). Although we are sorry to hear that you wouldn't recommend us I am glad to establish that you did enjoy some elements of your stay. When probed on where exactly you thought lots of money needed spending ( we continually work and have done much to upgrade the hotel) you said we had lost our kerbside appeal and that the front looked poor and shabby. Our planters were in the process of being painted and the inner pots removed for the new bedding plants going in. You said we should have had that done by now but I explained that on the island the new bedding plants are only arriving now into the garden shops. I reflected on what you saw and thought and put up signs to say "planters in progress" to avoid other people thinking we have given up on our business! You can try to find a Superior Room with a 4 poster bed, panelled wall painted with Farrow and Ball paint, comfy seating area, on the sea front facing the Holy Isle with a restaurant serving great food and a cosy well stocked bar on site for half the price but you won't. Kind regards

Arran’s hidden gem! Visiting Arran, this is a must go to hotel. Both quaint and quirky it welcomes you in with open arms. Each member of staff will go out of their way to have a wee chat, to have a laugh with you and to make sure your every need is met. One lady with blonde hair, who sings as she works ( and she works hard and sings well ) was particularly helpful and genuinely interested to find out how our day had gone. For us those special little things in the hotel meant a lot. We were celebrating our Silver Wedding Anniversary, with one of us being very ill and not being able to travel for a long time this wee break was much needed and the staff here made sure we enjoyed our stay. The hotel is spotless, with hints of the Scottish humour scattered throughout. The decor is homely and modern. With local artists displaying their works on their walls, and local artisan businesses all part of the running of the hotel - from butchers to bathroom luxuries - it just works! Having tried the local ‘resort’ menu, I can say the food at The Lamlash Bay hotel is not only better value for money but much tastier. Finally, the setting - you cannae beat it! Thank you to all at Lamlash Bay Hotel. See you soon!
Tips:The view of the Holy Isle is superb from this hotel, with boat trips direct from the bay. The location has a great transport link with bus stops just meters from the hotel. Check all timetables though as there can be a wait between buses at the other side of the island.

Would recommend the boat trip to the Holy Isle and if you are fit enough climb the peak. You can do it all in under 3 hours. Lamlash is nice little village with a beautiful front.

A beautiful sea front hotel. Room 4 was very spacious and the beds were extremely comfortable. There were a few crisp crumbs left from a previous resident behind a bedside cabinet.

My only concern was the amount of dogs staying at the hotel (3 or 4 rooms out of 11 contained dogs). Although they were not allowed in the restaurant they took up 4 tables in the bar area during the dining times. I don’t know if that area was cleaned before other people sat there.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Dear Guests, we are indeed dog friendly! At times there are no dogs and at other times there are a few rooms with dogs. Having the bar and restaurant separate and only allowing dogs in the bar allows us to serve food in both areas whereby people who prefer to eat not around dogs can do so. We aim to please both groups and of course clean between guests. We are proud of our cleanliness scoring across multiple review sites. Thanks for your 5 star review, we hope to see you again soon!

Lovely well run hotel which we have returned to time and time again. Staff are efficient, friendly and helpful and can't do enough for you. Meg and Serge are there to welcome you and as owners, very visible. Good choice of food on the dinner menu and always delicious. Special mention for the porridge in the morning, best I have tasted anywhere! Rooms are well appointed...although a chocolate biscuit/ shortbread on the tea tray wouldn't go amiss! Replenishing the bottles of water would be a nice touch too.
Tips:Book a sea facing room as the view over to the Holy Isle is just magnificent! Enjoy a drink in the bar, no need to go anywhere else, friendly, great service and book a table in advance if you want a specific time. Just enjoy the island, so much to see and do. Use the public transport too, great way to travel around the island.

Great prices too. Would highly recommend Lamlash Bay. We will certainly return. Thank you to the entire team for a wonderful break from Pauline, Derek, Margaret and Ian.
Tips:Book early for dinner. We stayed in two rooms one with a small balcony with panoramic view and the other with a dual aspect view. The latter was larger and had lovely sea views too. Have a few drinks in the bar at night, the staff are great fun and attentive. Prices very competitive.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Room 10 and the beautiful view of Holy Isle and the beach. The room was spotless with a spacious ensuite. There was no faffing about trying to regulate the shower, which can be a real pain when you are extremely short-sighted! The staff were courteous, friendly and attentive. Although we had breakfast every morning, my one regret was that we only dined in the hotel on the final evening of our three night stay. Dinner was excellent, had we known the high standard of catering, we would have dined in every night. We adjourned later to the bar which had lovely big comfortable easy chairs. This was our first visit to the Lamlash Bay Hotel but will not be our last.
Tips:Room 10 is at the top of the building accessed by stairs, so not suitable if you have mobility issues but when you get to the top the view from the window is fabulous.

Chairs in dinning room need attention most were stained others had tatty loose coverings. Evening meals were top class the only thing to spoil this was music too loud didn't need so many speakers.

This is an exceptional hotel, with exceptional staff, whether in the hotel itself; or the restaurant, they made me feel really welcomed and valued as a customer. They knew I was there for wildlife photography and went out of their way to identify locations for me, making recommendations that really paid off. The location itself is directly opposite the Holy Island which the sun rises directly behind, giving outstanding early morning vistas. The food in the bar, and breakfast was fantastic, and very filling (they do not skimp on portions - thankfully). Would I recommend this hotel - hell yes!!
Tips:Lochranza is the hot-spot for most of the wildlife, which is only a 25min drive away, but has very few facilities there. So a stay in Lamlash, and a drive through outstanding scenery to get to Lochranza was a winner for me.

Our first time on holiday with our dog! Staff very accommodating and friendly and your policy for dogs was ideal for us. We don't normally have a full breakfast at home, so they kept it us going all day with out having to think of what to do at lunch time.
Tips:Our first trip to Arran and we where not disappointed, despite the rain (which we anticipated being Sept/Oct). We drove around the island which didn't take that long but mainly walked in the southern half using walks found on walkhighlands.co.uk, a lot of the walks lasted roughly 2 hours. Weather was not kind to us so we limited it to one walk a day but you could easily do more if inclined. I think we where lucky with the wild life, a display in Lamlash bay of porpoise and dolphin lasted 45-60 minutes. During a walk along the shore line at Kildonan, as well as lots of seals we observed an otter feeding. On another walk we saw red squirrels.

The location of the hotel was good as was the food, our room seemed a little expensive for a tiny double room in the attic with a view of the local builder's office and the back of the Co-op. Overall, our stay at The Lamlash Bay Hotel was spoiled by the fact that on ordering drinks in the bar we were unable to attach the drinks to our room bill and were advised to start a tab which we did. Assuming that any additional drinks and our meal would be added to the tab, we had dinner and on leaving the restaurant we were very embarrassingly 'chased' by a member of staff demanding payment for the meal.
Tips:Beware of starting a tab to pay for drinks and a meal.

Owner Response:Dear Guests, Part of our check in procedure is to explain to guests that we have already taken full payment for the stay and that anything else is pay as you go. We are a small team and this saves us interupting breakfast service to process room bills. It is a great way to manage the staff shortages which have impacted every hospitality business nationwide and also suits most guests who prefer this system because they are rushing off to catch ferries. If this was not communicated properly to you during check in then I am very sorry. Prices are up on just about everything whether its milk, cereal, petrol, energy or room rates. Thank you for staying with us.

The room was adequate but we felt it was overpriced for what it was. Luxury price without the luxury! The food was good but at the higher end of the price scale. Staff were friendly and efficient. We didn't really like having to fill in a breakfast card the night before and everything felt a bit rushed. The restaurant was very noisy.

We have been eating and drinking at the Lamlash Bay Hotel for many years whilst on the island and its always been nice. This was the first time we have actually stayed at the hotel (long weekend). The rooms are very clean and comfortable and the staff in the restaurant and bar are very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is pre-order and was very good, with a good choice for all tastes. Thank you Meg and Serge and the staff for an excellent weekend stay.
Tips:Great base for an island holiday on Arran, Lamlash is the prettiest village and 10 mins from Brodick and the ferry. Free parking in the car park 30 yds from the hotel.

Perfect Arran holiday location. Very well maintained & characterful Guest House. The food exceeded our expectation (the calzone pizza was the best I've ever had). Huge food selection for breakfast too. The staff were happy, & very attentive to our needs including our little hound Saffron. The view from our room across the bay to Holy Island was stunning. I would definitely recommend!
Tips:If you are an avid walker buy an OS map from Arran Outdoor in Brodick... Goatfell is a must! But park at Corrie & climb the shorter ascent, & descend the glen towards the Arran Brewery.

Everything was fine, though my hot breakfast on the second morning (Eggs Benedict) would have been nicer if it had been warmer. It's good if a hot meal is properly hot. Also, I feel it would be a good idea to provide two knifes at breakfast so that you can have a fresh one for spreading butter etc on your toast. Only one was provided both mornings.

Review ✓ minimum We visited the Lamlash Bay Hotel with high expectations having watched the Channel 4 series "4 in a bed" We were met at reception by no less than the lovely owner Meg who was as lovely as on TV. We were made to feel most welcome and we even posed for photos with the winning plaque. We were in room 4 which had the most incredible views over the bay to Holy Island. It was very tastefully furnished and everything was absolutely spotless. We really liked the pre order breakfast and enjoyed discussing and choosing from the excellent selection. When it arrived it was delicious in every way. The ladies who served in the restaurant were most friendly and set a great atmosphere with their mix of good conversation and selection of background music. We ate in the restaurant and can't recommend it enough, I had the Lamlash special it was top draw, cooked to perfection and very tasty. All round it was a fantastic experience and would love to repeat. Forgot to mention the bed and pillows, they were so comfortable which led to a great night's sleep! Thanks Meg and all your lovely staff for an incredible couple of days....hope to return again.
Tips:A room at the front of the property is a must if one is available. Eat at the restaurant it's beautiful.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Room 1 is a fabulous room, great views and the balcony an added bonus. Cleanliness: carpet in room not hoovered every day, balcony needing a wee brush, some chairs in the dining room are well past their best. Otherwise hotel well kept. Food: rhubarb and ginger jam was excellent, but the prepacked marmalade and strawberry jam were a let down! Porridge great every morning and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening meals. Staff are very friendly and service couldn't be faulted. Meg and Serge, you run an excellent hotel!! Looking forward to a return visit!!
Tips:Try the porridge! Book a table in the hotel for dinner, food excellent Book a table in the bar for pre dinner drinks Use the bus service, a great way to see the island! Bring all weather clothes, Arran can be very wet but equally very warm and sunny, sunglasses and waterproofs!!

This was our first visit to Arran, and were highly impressed with the hotel. The staff and atmosphere of the hotel was 'family' and you made Lynda and I feel at home. We did see the Four In a Bed episode and how the hotel was the winner. We can see why, and would like to that Isla, and Katy and the other staff for making us feel welcome
Tips:There are disabled facilities at the hotel, plus it is dog friendly too. If you are traveling around the island by car then PLEASE note that the roads are very narrow (which we are used to living in Aberdeenshire), so if you are from a major town or city on the mainland UK please stick to the advisory speed limit it'll make you your visit safer. Visit both the distilleries and Brodick Castle. Take midge spray too, they are vicious. There is live music at the Pier Head Tavern, and the Drifters bar is worth a visit too. We were advised to pre book for tables etc. if you want to eat away from the hotel, but to be honest the food at the hotel is exceptional.

An excellent place to stay for our few nights on Arran. A lovely view, a very spacious room with own balcony, nice meals also for us as vegetarians; I've got nothing to complain about. Well, like many charming hotels, there's sometimes a bit of noise from an upstairs guest, but really nothing to worry about. All in all, a great place to stay, really enjoyed our time in Lamlash.
Tips:There's enough resources about what to see and do on Arran, I won't repeat that. Just if you're a beer lover, sure, visit the Arran brewery if you want, but don't forget to take a small walk from the hotel and arrange to meet with Stevie of the Seagate brewery right there in Lamlash. Lovely guy, supposedly lovely beers (bought some to bring home, I have yet to try them).

Had a great 3 night stay with my elderly father. From the minute we arrived to checking out we were looked after really well. Our bags were taken to our rooms which I was dreading the thought of doing myself. We received a gift of a free drink in the bar for being returning visitors, lovely surprise. Had dinner in the hotel on our first night, food was amazing. Breakfasts also really good, offers of extra tea/coffee and toast each morning and a wee blether with the owner offering us advice on where to visit that day. All in a great visit and will visit again very soon. Thank you to all at The Lamlash Bay Hotel.

Had stayed at hotel in 1970, so obvious many changes, but still held the old building charm.
Tips:Front rooms can noisy in mornings but surprisingly quiet in evenings. Lovely outlook over the bay and Holy Island.

A great combination of efficiency and friendliness generally and from all staff members in a beautiful location. We had a compact, attic bedroom but the space was very well used. We enjoyed the range of local art work .
