22nd April 2024:

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.

A lovely stay in this very comfortable hotel. The room overlooked the sea and the hotel is convenient for visiting other parts of the beautiful Island of Arran.

Tips:

The ferry service is occasionally cancelled due to weather conditions. If you arrive late Sunday evening there is no public transport so think about how to get to your destination in advance.

We got to know the bar and restaurant staff Cathy Isla and Kyle by 1st name. Very friendly, hard working and attentive staff. I will choose another room in my next stay only because of the view and the sloping ceilings. Rab and I are not very tall but would enjoy full ceiling room next time.

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 The only negative was the coffee in the room nescafe is so outdated on tea/coffee trays and uht milk yeuck.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.

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.

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! :)

Recommend a visit to Arran Heritage Museum, friendly, helpful and welcoming staff, lots of interesting Arran history and brilliant cafe too. Brodick Castle & Gardens well worth a day out. There were plenty of interest for children and adults all day long. All facilities excellent. Visit to King's Caves and Machrie Stones well worth the effort but check on what else might be open on your route first. Will certainly come back to Arran.

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.

Lovely friendly happy staff made for a very easy relaxed stay, really nice meal, fab shower area, great location, quiet nice sleep, a decent bright beer in the bar, somewhere to stash our bikes. Suggestions... If you have a high enough turnover consider a cask conditioned real ale. If you can aquire that bit of land out the back.. Pop a bike shed on it. Thank you.

Stay here, you won't regret it, it's everything a a bay view hotel in a westcoast town should be.

Primium room prices with poor amenities ,no shower cap makeup remover pads cotton buds, tissue etc and watered down shower/shampoo gel, with a stay of 4 nights we would expect a bed change after two nights. This had to be requested after three nights, breakfast was OK but no salmon or smoked fish on offer after all its on a fishing island .

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.

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.

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.

Welcoming staff to a beautifully situated hotel on seafront. The rooms are spotless, the bar is welcoming and the restaurant has an excellent menu which never disappoints. There is ample parking nearby. I highly recommend this delightful hotel.

Tips:

Intriguing shops and restaurants are easily within walking distance. The ferry is essential when leaving the island and staff are always happy to advise re times etc.

Tips:

I can recommend the signature dish of pan fried seabass and the pizzas, delicious! Breakfast menu is also fabulous. Have a pre breakfast walk on the beach. If you're a foot passanger, use the calmac website, they have a journey planner to help you coordinate buses and ferries.

Tips:

Brodick Castle well worth a visit with lovely gardens to wander through. If you are a whiskey drinker the distillery at Lochranza had tasting sessions but due to renovations the tour wasn’t available at this time. We saw seals basking in the rocks close to Lamlash Bay. The Auchrannie Resort had a lovely Seafood bistro and leisure facilities.

Amazing location, staff lovely very welcoming. Disappointed with amount of dogs in bar. Not all but some bar staff and restaurant staff made a fuss of dogs and only 1 member off staff washed hands before carrying on with their duties. 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. I chose Isle of Arran for my special birthday and wasn't dissapointed.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

front rooms have nice view but can be noisy because of the common grounds at the waterfront climb Goat Fell - it's worth the effort. Route through valley harder and longer , not recommended if not fit.

Where so I start with this hotel It is outstanding, the location and view is the main reason I booked this hotel ,it is stunning, secondly the food it amazing , I just can't get over how wonderful it is and the staff they are so friendly and welcoming I just can't rate this place highly enough everything d perfect even the bar and the choice in the bar 100% for me . No wonder they won 4 in a bed They are top notch .

Tips:

If travelling to this beautiful hotel you will not be disappointed, and not only is it a great place to stay The staff the view the food are all superb, we went a walk along the road to the left and found a few pubs, one was right on the beech , also we took the car into brodick but you can travel right round the island, in which i plan to do the next time ,oh and also right next door there is the co-op great variety of stuff .snd a little suvenear shop across the road I would 100% recomend this hotel

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.

Tips:

There's a Co-op store next to the hotel, handy for a sandwich/drink at lunchtime to enjoy on one of the many benches just opposite the hotel and take in the views.

A lovely warm welcome and a beautiful view over to Holy Island. The room was well laid out and comfortable. Whilst booking breakfast times required some prior planning, it avoided delays (previous day we missed breakfast elsewhere because of the wait and we had a ferry to catch). All staff were friendly and helpful. Loved the idea that the Postman doubled up as an evening chef a couple of times a week. Great base for seeing this beautiful island.

The Lamlash Bay Hotel is a well run hotel with a friendly family like atmosphere with all the staff making you feel at home. The staff always have a smile and a very polite attitude while providing a bit of friendly banter. We took our dog “Harry” with us and he was made to feel like a genuine part of the family and as welcome a guest as ourselves. The hotel itself was spotless with cleanliness obviously a high priority. The food was excellent too from the cooked breakfast to the selection of evening meals. We are already planning our next visit to Arran and we won’t be considering anywhere else to stay.

Tips:

The only tip I would advise is that whether you are booking accommodation or a meal, book early to avoid disappointment. As the food is excellent the restaurant and bar is usually almost if not fully booked.

Another warm welcome from the Lamlash Bay Hotel team. Our room was pristine and comfortable, as always. Comfy bed. Dinner was delicious - the Curry and the Fish, Chips and Mushy Peas were so yummy, we didn't venture any further into the menu!

Tips:

Highly recommend Eggs Benedict for breakfast! The team continue to observe safety procedures, even although masks are now longer compulsory. If you do not wish a staff member to enter your room (make up beds, fresh towels, etc) simply indicate this via the cute little heart sign on the outside of your door.

We found the bed uncomfortable to sit up in to read etc, and the TV wasn't visible from the sofa. Otherwise we were very happy with everything (and everyone!) and wouldn't hesitate to come back.

Tips:

The shower works fine on "high" with the temperature control in the 1 o'clock position. We found it temperamental on "Eco".

Gorgeous room, spacious, stylish traditional decor, clean with a sea view. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The food was amazing. This hotel is a gem and we are already planning our return trip next year. We loved its location opposite the beach with views to Holy Island. The bay itself feels sheltered, we kayaked over to Holy island (kayak trips are also available). Highly recommend

Tips:

book a table for food in advance (luckily we did for each night of our stay) - its very popular and even though Arran itself was a bit quieter than usual (according to the locals) the hotel was fully booked for food in the restaurant, bar and outdoor areas.

Everything about our 7 night stay at the Lamlash Bay Hotel was excellent, the food, the service and the friendliness of the staff and owner, all of whom worked tirelessly. The view from our room 11 across to Holy Isle is outstanding. The organisation of agreed timings for breakfast worked very well for us, and because of the difficulties with ferries last week thanks to the flexibility of the staff we were able to move forward our breakfast time on our last morning to enable us to get in the ferry queue earlier, which enabled us to catch a ferry earlier than our originally booked time. We would definitely recommend the Lamlash Bay Hotel. Anne and Maurice Nicholson

19th April 2022:

We were really looking forward to this trip and anticipating a warm welcome and high standards. Unfortunately, this wasn’t to be the case. As we arrived, we had a civil, but cool/lukewarm greeting. We were told ‘the basics’ while a friend of the owner stood right behind us with no face covering. It felt like we were rushed out of the way, to allow a pals catch up. More negatives than positives, as follows; Filthy exterior/facade, which has been badly neglected and the fag ends haven't been swept up in weeks. Wood needs stained, welcome mat replaced and planters replanted! Terrible (vastly overpriced) fish dinner (with only a forkful of peas) Breakfast - rubber bacon and (cheap) anaemic sausage. Couldn't eat it. The butter foils are infuriating, as you have to pull them apart when they have been handled by your staff beforehand. Same goes for the sauces. I know this is a cost effective way to do it, but we expected individual ramekins at £200/night. Waitress at dinner came too close for comfort, given COVID times. We felt unsafe. Cheap fittings, dodgy and very loud kettle which didn't pour properly. Uncomfortable (very low) bed more like a futon and lumpy pillows. Tiny shower with bifold door. Claustrophobic!

Tips:

Expect high prices and mediocre standards, more akin to a budget B and B. The breakfast ordering system doesn't seem to work and from what I could see most clients changed their preferences when they arrived in the morning. I can see time slots working, but trying to choose your meal and tea/coffee the night before is never going to work and any good chef/breakfast team should be able to cook anything from scratch. My feeling is that the owners have lost interest and not trying hard enough to ensure repeat bookings. The grubby state of the exterior (which is the first impression one gets) speaks volumes and we never felt welcome during our stay.

Owner Response:

Dear Guests, It is so utterly disheartening to get a review like this given that this is the business that we eat sleep and breathe and have invested all our time and money into. Try being told you are, "Not trying hard enough" at the end of another 16 hour shift. Over the last few weeks we have had 8 staff off as a result of covid. This has put the remaining team under immense pressure and the aim was to stay open rather than have to close and cancel guests long awaited holidays. If anything was not up to its usual standard then I do apologise however I find some of your comments baffling. We have just painted the exterior wall of the hotel so it is white, not filthy. I think you will find that due to rocketing food, energy, labour and transport prices, the cost of meals everywhere in every establishment will go up and those that don't will sadly close. I serve most breakfasts at the hotel however on Sunday morning it was reported that a number of guests changed their order after arriving for breakfast. This is not normal, we have cut down on food waste and improved the service and waiting time which has helped us manage during a hospitality nationwide shortage of staff. I wonder if you would have found your stay to be better value if you had booked direct with the hotel which is considerably a cheaper and more flexible option or shopped around to compare prices. Reading the notes on your booking, it seems that you called to say you couldn't get a ferry booking and were disappointed that you were given options rather than a refund. At the time of booking, we always send out an email warning guests that they need to secure a ferry booking straight away if they plan to bring a car. We also send out a few eminder emails regarding ferriesd and dinner/breakfast bookings; which were unfortunately not heeded... I think at the end of the day not being able to bring your car/ having ferry issues and not being offered a refund set the mood for your stay. A local came in to discuss a group booking ( I know her name) while I was doing your check in. I said hello and she waited till I had finished. We have received lots of positive feedback on our covid protocols, even criticism for going too far at times so I'm not sure why you wanted to come at Easter weekend which is a public holiday and busy everywhere. I can see that you were genuinely not pleased with your stay and I am sorry and disappointed to hear that. The fact that you mention even the volume of the kettle and having to unwrap a butter portion suggests that in this instance maybe we couldn't have done anything right no matter how hard we tried. You mention " more negatives than positives" but don't mention any positives at all. That's ok though because all the other reviews mention more positives than negatives. Best wishes for happier travels in the future.

Owner Response:

Dear Guests, Whilst we are pleased you loved the location, found the hotel to be clean and the food spectacular, we are very dissapointed that you felt unwelcome. This is not the normal feedback we receive from guests. Over the last few weeks (which have been exceptionally busy with the Easter Holidays), we have had 8 members of staff all absent due to covid. This has left the remaining staff under immense pressure working extra days and hours trying to manage as best we could. We decided to attempt to remain open rather than cancel guest's long awaited holidays. I appologise if this left us looking rushed and stressed. On the last morning of your holiday you came to the restaurant 15 minutes before we were ready to open for breakfast. Although I explained that we weren't ready and that we couldn't serve you earlier, you proceeded to come in and said you just wanted to sit and wait. I can imagine this seemed harmless enough and you weren't to know that it would make us feel under pressure to try and get you coffee, have a chat etc when in fact we were busy checking that all the pre-orders were correct and still had jobs to complete before being ready to start. You wouldn't have known either that having finished late the night before this was the start of another 16 hour shift and that every minute counts. Having read your review, it might have been better if I had simply asked you please to stay in your room where you had a comfy seating area until opening time. We hope you are enjoying the rest of your holiday and are sorry again that you felt this way.

We stayed for three nights and found the hotel to be first class in every way. The room was comfortable, large and well-equipped, breakfasts were excellent and the dinners superb. We particularly recommend the garlic mushrooms and prawn starters and the sea bass main course. Desserts were great also - with the cheesecake our favourite. The bar is also a great place to spend some time - although it was too chilly for us to try out the outside tables! The owners were warm, helpful and welcoming and run a highly efficient establishment. We recommend the Lamlash Bay Hotel most highly and we hope to return in the future.

Tips:

Our room had a spectacular view over the Holy Isle - so book early to get a front-of-hotel room. it is also important to book for dinner before one arrives - the dining room is very popular!

The location was great, our room overlooking the bay was lovely. Staff were really nice with the exception of one girl serving breakfast. The restaurant was pretty stark, bright lights and loud music. Lack of attention to detail in the furnishings- chair covers poorly fixed in making it all look tired and a bit unloved. Breakfast choice was limited and not of great quality, and the takeaway breakfast was really poor in its choice for anyone who likes healthy eating. The room tray was poor too- we have all moved on from cheap Nescafe and better attention to detail would have gone a long way.

My wife and I stayed in Room 6. The room was perfect for us lots of space with a view of the bay. . The hotel is very Covid conscious and so we were happy that the room was safe. It was very clean. The refreshments were adequate and the toiletries in the bathroom good quality and well stocked. Breakfast was great. We had the Scottish choice on two days and the small breakfast on our final day. Very filling, which set us up for our day's activities. We had an evening meal on two nights and particularly enjoyed the sea bass. There was a good choice of wine, beer and spirits. We had a drink in the bar too. We found the staff very friendly, helpful and efficient. The management had a couple of problems to deal with while we were there with the heating and the fire alarm which they sorted quickly; this did not reduce the enjoyment of our stay. Big thanks to all of the staff and look forward to coming again.

Tips:

Just go..... Friendly staff, clean, spacious rooms, good food, excellent selection of refreshments. Good view of the bay, a Coop next door, a general store across the road and a motor engineers nearby, ten minutes from the ferry port and the main town of Brodick.

Both distilleries are well worth visiting and there’s always nice places for tea and scones in all the villages on the island.

Really enjoyed our stay, staff were very friendly. Special thank you to Paul who attended to all our needs at breakfast and dinner. Nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in Room 1 which was spotless, also had a balcony which looked out at Lamlash beach.

Tips:

Lovely wee unique shops in Lamlash, if you are looking for a wee gift to remind you of your stay. I would recommend Island Porcelain and Janelle’s. Both ladies in the shops very friendly and helpful. In Brodick I would recommend Crofters, sampled Arran coffee there and am hooked. Very tasty…. Brodick also had lovely wee gift shops, such as The Red Door and Inspirations of Arran.

Usual lovely welcome to the hotel for our short stay. Thank you! As per our previous stays there is no doubt this is the place to be, hence our repeated stays. Fantastic hotel, staff and atmosphere. Great attention to detail and probably the best location on the island.

Lamlash is a lovely village with a mix of pub / eateries in walking distance and overlooking the beautiful bay and Holy Isle.

We stayed initially for 2 nights but then added an extra night (due to ferry issues) but were so happy to do so. We loved everything about this hotel - the room was stunning and spotless, the wee pub in the hotel was gorgeous, the restaurant was absolutely amazing!!! Definitely book dinner as it is very popular. The staff are so friendly and helpful especially as we really needed their help when our ferry got cancelled but nothing was too much trouble. Loved it and hope to stay again.

Tips:

Pre book the restaurant for dinner as it is very popular. The hotel is in the perfect location right on the water. It has a co-op right next door if u have forgotten anything, it’s only minutes drive from Brodick Ferry, it has a lovely wee pub in the hotel but there is also a few pubs walking distance along the street as well as another lovely restaurant called The Drift Inn.

The location was perfect with tremendous views across to the Holy Isle and only a short distance from the ferry at Brodick. The staff were so friendly & welcoming and everywhere was beautifully clean and well maintained. An excellent breakfast every morning set us up for the day - vegan & vegetarian options were provided for at breakfast & dinner.

Tips:

There are a number of different places to eat in Lamlash itself - booking ahead is advised everywhere but with online booking available this is unproblematic. We travelled around the whole island during our stay & even out of season it is possible to find little coffee shops etc. Brodick castle & the heritage museum are good places to visit if the weather is wet!

Tips:

They took money off our card beginning of our stay which was different as you usually settle up at the end of your stay. We paid for drinks and food as we went along. Free parking anywhere. The Drift Inn was a good place to eat further along the coast(within walking distance) and The Old Byre. WThe Old Byre was en route of round island trip.

This was a return visit to a great little family-run hotel right on the main street overlooking the bay in a wonderful little seaside village. Friendly and welcoming owners and staff. Excellent, reasonably-priced restaurant and small, cosy bar with some outside seating. Booking a table is advised. Food can also be served in the bar. The public areas and rooms are spotlessly clean, comfortable and well furnished. The hotel has no car park but there are two free public car parks a short walk from the hotel where you can safely leave your car (but no overnight parking for motorhomes, caravans or camper vans).

Tips:

Lamlash is a small village. There is a small supermarket near the hotel, a hardware/general store, a pharmacy and a couple of gift shops and tearooms. If you want to eat somewhere other than the hotel, the Pierhead Tavern pub serves good food and the nearby Drift Inn restaurant is excellent, but a little more expensive. There is an Indian takeaway restaurant. There is also another hotel with restaurant in the village. Booking tables at all of them is advised as they can get very busy. There are hourly (approximately) buses to the main town of Brodick and the rest of the island (timetables change with seasons).

I was super impressed with this hotel. We went to hotel hours before check in to ask if we could leave our bags but we were told our room was ready. The room itself, No 11 was really lovely, beautifully clean with amazing views over Holy Isle. Because we had our small dog with us we needed to eat in the bar. Again beautifully decorated. The first evening we ate off of the main menu. It was very nice. Next evening we ordered from their pizza menu. Pizzas were delicious. Breakfast on both mornings was very good too. All staff were friendly and chatty. It wasn't easy booking a slot for dinner and you had to book your time for breakfast too. I think this is because of staff shortages. Also because they're very busy and because of covid restrictions. I definitely intend to book this hotel again.

Tips:

We didn't take our car this time as the hotel is a 10 minute bus ride from the ferry and busses are timed with the ferry. However, I think to fully appreciate Arran you do need a car.

We had a very pleasant couple of nights here. However to be honest the room we had (Room 11) was very small and, in our opinion, very overpriced for what it was. Unfortunately it didn't help that on our last night next door was occupied by somebody who spent half the night banging doors & got up very noisily at 5am to walk what sounded like a dog. Saying that the staff were very pleasant and breakfast was OK - although a little bland.

Tips:

Lamlash is a very attractive area. We would highly recommend booking Alex and the Mogabout Safari Tour if you want to see some of the hard to get places on the island, and the Drift Inn is the best pub/restaurant in the village if you want good, freshly cooked food with a great atmosphere.

Nice bar with great staff. Only issue was small shower and wash hand basin in bathroom. Would happily go back.

Easy check in, well organised, friendly staff who were always helpful, especially during short drama of thinking we’d lost our room key! Great food in the bar. Thanks so much. Hope to be back again!

Tips:

Whole island is accessible by car within a day, great bays and places to see, distilleries and shops, restaurants etc. Had a lovely time. Brodick especially pleasant. Scotland in miniature as they say. Enjoy!

Incredibly warm welcome, despite arriving 90 minutes sooner than expected our room was ready. Room was spot on - we stayed in room 9 having booked fairly late. Cleanliness of the room (and entire hotel) made us feel very safe in these difficult covid times....View of Holy Isle from our room was stunning. Description of the room was accurate - it was a small double, but perfect in every way and we enjoyed the novelty of staying in a room with eaves. Food was excellent - good choice for breakfast and extensive range of menu for dinner. Quality and choice of dishes were in a class of their own, especially when compared to other local restaurants (which had limited menus). Good selection of wines to accompany the wide menu and not at all pricey. Bar was comfy, again with a great selection including local beer, whiskey and gin (look for the offers on the blackboard). We will definitely be back.

Tips:

Make sure you book evening meals and bar slots well in advance as some places in Lamlash don't open every day meaning space is limited. We enjoyed golf and horse riding in Blackwaterfoot/Shiskine (30 mins drive); as well as some great short walks with ample parking including Glen Rosa (Brodick), Kings Caves (Blackwaterfoot) and Glenashdale falls (Whiting Bay) as well as the longer coastal route.

All the staff seem pleasantly highly organised and the management obviously run a tight ship which is exactly what you want in a pandemic. A couple of smaller portions on the mains section of the dinner menu would be appreciated eg the chicken curry and the Mediterranean vegetable dishes might be suitable for that.

We have previously stayed here before and we’re looking forward to staying again. We’re not disappointed and to our surprise and delight, we’re provided with a bottle of wine as being retuning visitors. We stayed in Room 3 which has its own balcony which just adds to the room and hotel. Any food we have had from breakfast to dinner was first class and as a pizza lover, they certainly do not disappoint. Staff and owners all very friendly and helpful. Only thing to really say is, looking forward to our next visit.

Tips:

Lamlash is a lovely place to stay and eat with a small but good choice to have a drink or eat. Venture round the island, it is stunning. We were lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins but still to tick off seeing seals but hopefully next time.

Great hotel, room 9 had great views and was perfect for our stay. Spotlessly clean throughout. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone. Only point I would say was bar staff was a hit and miss. Some very friendly, others were quite dry and short. Restaurant staff questioned why I challenged bill when we were charged for something twice, although eventually took it off the bill. Staff could be more welcoming and definitely not challenge customers when overcharging.

Hello, Thank you for your kind comments on our hotel and we are pleased you had a great stay. I am so sorry to hear that you found some staff to be short. These are not the kind of comments we are used to receiving. I also apologise that you felt challenged over a bill in which you were overcharged. I will follow up on this matter. We have always credited our staff as being our biggest asset. I know that due to staff shortages ( nationwide) the pressure on those left in the industry coupled with the stress of the pandemic which everyone has had to endure is naturally taking its toll. We are so glad to be open and busy again but are sorry if we lacked in our usual hospitality.

Tips:

Good location for walking and cycling. Book restaurants well in advance as we struggled to get in anywhere for evening meals. Food was a little expensive but all very good. Walk up to Goat Fell is worth doing and path is easy to find. We were lucky enough to see some dolphins when we were cycling on the coast road between Brodick and Corrie.

Tips:

We visited the art gallery in Whiting Bay and also the Coffee Cup cafe which was lovely. We did putting as well. It’s not very obvious that it’s open but there’s an honesty box and putters and balls are available to use. We discovered a beautiful stretch of coast walk just opposite Corrie golf club and enjoyed a lovely lunch at the tearoom there afterwards. Have to recommend the cakes at Machrie golf club too!

Absolutely loved our stay here. Such a warm and friendly hotel with excellent facilities. Very clean rooms and extremely comfortable and cosy. We did have a problem with our shower but this was dealt with quickly and no further problems. The views from our rooms (6 and 11) are to die for. The food is wonderful and we noticed that the restaurant is always booked out not just by residents but also by members of the public. We did go to another hotel for a meal on one of our nights and really wish we hadn’t as it wasn’t a patch on this hotel. We will be back to Arran and we certainly won’t be staying anywhere else. Wonderful hotel!!!! 😍

Tips:

Machrie Moor Standing Stones are definitely worth a visit. The Old Byre Visitor Centre is great for a bite to eat, do a bit of shopping and also has a good play area for children. If you like whisky both Arran Distillery and Lagg Distillery do tours and tastings. We would recommend the whisky and chocolate tasting at Arran Distillery. We would however advise you not to try The Glenisle Hotel for a meal as we found it inedible. They do have a lovely garden to sit and have a drink though.

I have been at lamlash hotel about 2 years ago. It is family run and the family are lovely. This is one of the reasons I went back. The staff coped so well with the outbreak of Covid and the rising numbers of staff having to isolate on the island making the other establishments close for food. We were very lucky we managed to have breakfast and evening meal. The staff were always wearing their masks. The hotel had sanitisers and mandatory for visitors and guests to wear masks. The room was lovely and clean and we opted to just have towels changed and bins changed where needed as stayed 4 nights. The staff were brilliant and all very hard working. We felt sad when we left. The view onto the lamlash bay was lovely and we had great weather. Highly recommended.

Tips:

Was difficult as all the restaurants were closing down due to lack of staff. I would recommend the lamlash bay for dinner. We ate there 4 nights and food was lovely. Usually the drift inn as well. Closed for food just now but pen for drinks an both great again with lovely view onto the bay. There is a wee putting green if feel like it to the right of the hotel. Brodick only 7 min away in the car and crazy golf. And lunch at the Little Rock cafe amd an outdoor shop here as well. I would recommend getting a sea view room if you can. It is worth the extra money and if stay more than 2 nights you get a discount.

Tips:

Super location, very clean. We had dinner on site, amazing menu and food is 5* - even my teenage sons thought so! Lamlash Bay and the outlook to Holy Isle is calming and stunning. Lamlash Pier is a major landmark for all families especially for jumping off the pier or crab catching and releasing.

The reason for the 4 for facilities was the poor shower in the ensuite. It did not keep its temperature, if it was too cold and you turned it up a point, it turned burning hot immediately, and if you turned it down one point, it was freezing cold. Not ideal. The reason for the 4 for service, was at breakfast our cooked breakfast was served 10-15 minutes after our tea/coffee, toast and jam! Usually you get your cooked food first. When it arrived it was delicious. There was also no side knife for the toast, so you required to use the same knife for your hot food to spread the jam.

Tips:

1869 at the Auchrannie is our favourite restaurant. Taxi fares are very reasonable, but be sure to book early both your outward and return journeys.

We have returned to the Lamlash Bay Hotel many times as it is well run, has fantastic welcoming staff, and really looks after its customers. All the rooms are great. We have been in a few different ones they are all superb, especially the front rooms facing the bay. If you want a good relaxing time with no worries you will be happy here. Can't wait to get back.

Lamlash is a great place. Go sit at the bay and watch the world go by. Then you will know why it is so special. Enjoy!

This was my first visit to Arran and I arrived with little knowledge of the island. Immediately on my arrival at the hotel, I was made very welcome and throughout my week, the staff could not have done more to help - especially after an unfortunate car incident! The room (9) was incredibly clean upon arrival and all safeguards in place to ensure safe distancing. I would have no hesitation in recommending the hotel - for its staff and location. I will return to Arran but I doubt I will have a week of such good weather.

Tips:

I saw a lot of the island during the week but would recommend Lochranza for the coast walk around the headland towards the Cock of Arran. Also, the stones at Machie Moor are worth the walk and the King's Cave. Top cakes and cuppas at Cafe Velo (Lagg) and Janie's near Arran Aromatics. The coast walk from Lamlash to Brodick was a bit of a challenge but worth it for the views to Holy Island and also seal spotting. So many things to do...

We enjoyed our stay and the room was spotless. Receptionist who checked us in was a bit curt and we felt like we were getting into a row from a head mistress as we hadnt emailed in advance to book breakfast. Was advised she would keep the table for us for dinner for half an hour whilst we got settled into our room and then it would be offered to others who they had turned away. I went and booked the table and then when we turned up for dinner they had no reservation for us! We were seated no problem and the service from the rest of the staff was great. One other thing I would point out which im not sure can be helped, but the sound proofing in the rooms wasnt great, we could hear guests next door and coming and going which sounded like they were coming into our room. Loved the Arran Aromatics in the room, that was a lovely touch.

Owner Response:

Dear Guests, Thank you for your great review. We try to prepare guests and manage expectations by sending pre arrival emails stressing the importance of pre booking dinner in advance and that due to social distancing and loosing tables, we now operate a booking system for breakfast. The island is also extremely busy so we advise that whatever they plan to do or other places they want to dine at should be booked in advance too. This is how things are at the moment and I'm sorry that the late booking wasn't passed on to the restaurant but glad that it was sorted ok. Our building is circa 1910 and therefore sound travels. We have invested in soundproofing underlay but our fire door regulations mean the doors close automatically. I'm sorry if this disturbed you during your stay. We are glad you found the cleaning to be of a high standard and enjoyed the pizzas!

Thank you for your kind review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. I just wanted to add some clarity about the family suite facilities. |The family suite is sold as a hotel room with the added benefit of a fridge, microwave and oven. There is no hob on the cooker but there is a plug in cooking ring stored in the cupboard. The room is sold including breakfast and not intended nor marketed as a self catering but has the additional benefit of being spacious with 2 seperate bedrooms and some extra facilities. We hope to see you again soon.

We stayed in room 11 overlooking Holy Island which was fabulous. The hotel is very comfortable, particularly in the bar area, all the staff are very welcoming and friendly and all COVID restrictions were upheld throughout. Breakfast is chosen from an extensive list the day before and waiting for you the following morning - this worked very well. Evening meals were also excellent. We were intending to try an evening meal at the other hotel on Lamlash but it was a limited menu. We had stayed there many years ago but were extremely disappointed in what we saw. The Lamlash Bay Hotel is excellent and I would thoroughly recommend it.

We were very pleased with the service we received at Lamlash Bay Hotel. The room was spotless as was the rest of the hotel. I could only suggest two or three tweaks which would be, to have a wider choice of beers/ales in the bar, have salt, pepper & other condiments close to hand at tables instead of waiting for staff to become available to ask, & lastly but quite importantly, supply some decent loo roll in the end suite bathrooms as I could watch TV through the type currently used. We would certainly visit the hotel again & would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

Book any eating arrangements on Arran well in advance and avoid the fish shop in Brodick.

Dear Guests, Thank you for your lovely review, we are delighted you would return and would recommend us to friends. Our biggest focus right now is on following the guidance and avoiding further lockdowns. We therefore have nothing on the table that could be touched and any unused sachets are quarantined before going into circulation again. Since reopening we have had to drop one of our beer lines as we were experiencing loss and waste due to retrictions on capacity and opening hours. Its not necessarily about offering what we would like to be able to and more about staying viable at the moment. We hope you understand that stock loss within hospitality has been terrible over the last 18 months. I am sorry to hear though that the quality of the loo roll wasn't up to standard and will be adressing this straight away. We look forward to welcoming you back.

Tips:

Visit: Chameleon - ladies boutique next to the hotel.Lynn is so welcoming Arran Gin at Cladach. We spent a lovely afternoon there, fabulous cocktails! A hidden gem. Distillery, both at Lagg and Lochranza, well worth a visit. Buy the Arran Gold, wonderful drink! A drive round the island, such great scenery!

Also along the road is the Glenisle Hotel which has a lovely garden to sit and have lunch with your dog or just friends. 8 of us had a fab meal one evening in the Glenisle restaurant and it was very good. Also the drift Inn is good and the pier cafe. Whiting Bay is nice for a visit and the path to goatfell is a lovely walk. Arran aromatics is not to be missed.

Stayed in the family suite which was fantastic. Great having a fridge and sink to use. Breakfasts in hotel on both mornings were very tasty and there was plenty to choose from. Staff were all very friendly & helpful.

Tips:

Book dinner in Lamlash Bay hotel for at least one of your nights stay. Menu was extensive and food was amazing. Sharing starter was amazing & the seafood delicious. Another place to have a lovely dinner is The Lighthouse in Pirnmill... make sure you book as restaurant is quite small. Janie's Cafe in Brodick and Shiskine Golf & Tennis Club are both great tearooms for a quick bite or a nice lunch. Lamlash is central to all walks on Arran. Try Goatfell but don't be disheartened if you don't manage it all the way up to the top!!! Just enjoy the surroundings. Best place to see stags & deer is on Lochranza Golf Course. If you have young children go & feed the ducks at Rosaburn near Arran Aromatics. Keep a lookout along the coast for seals but best time of day to see them is early afternoon when they are warming themselves up on the rocks. Clauchlands Point is a good place to see them. And lastly... if you are into spa days then Auchrannie Hotel is the place to go.

We had a wonderful time as always, despite chaotic ferries and dire weather. The Lamlash Bay Hotel was an oasis of cosy calm, friendly, helpful staff and delicious food. The view over to Holy Isle is good for the soul. We'll be back.

Tips:

We'd recommend a drive into Brodick to visit the castle and on the way pop in to The Brewery, Arran Aromatics and the Cheese Shop. Corrie and Sannox are picture postcard villages. There is so much to see and do all over the island.

Very pleasant and attentive staff throughout the hotel. Ideal bedrooms and facilities for our short stay. Good, varied food choice and at reasonable prices. Attractive bar with a decent choice of drink options. Finally, very central position with lovely views out over the bay.

Tips:

The hotel restaurant serves a wide variety of good quality food and in excellent portion sizes. Have your dinner in the hotel as the other local options can be over priced, too busy and sometimes in poor portions (we know from our recent experience). There are lovely walks on the island and the knowledgable staff can help provide ideas and suggestions for new routes and we were pleased with a new walk given to us.

Room was bigger than expected, have stayed at the Bay before, but opted for a room with a four poster as a wee treat, room was big and even had a three seater sofa which made it feel even bigger..the food as usual was amazing, especially the breakfast.

Tips:

Ideal for site seeing around the island, only a short bus trip from the ferry terminal to the hotel, so if you want to leave the car behind you can, and the views of holy isle are amazing, so if you want to just sit back and watch the world go by this is ideal...

Hotel was spotlessly clean and felt very safe with all Covid measures in place. Room was spacious and hospitality tray was refreshed daily. Plenty white fluffy towels with nice Arran products in bathroom. The restaurant produced delicious meals in the evening. Only downside, and no big deal, was the ‘Special’ board never changed in the 3 nights we stayed there. Otherwise there was plenty choice in menu. A good hearty breakfast was available each morning. Arran is a beautiful island and we will definitely have to return.

Hello and thank you so much for leaving a great review.Unfortunately the mitigating circumstances by which we are allowed to stay open are that we improve ventilation by having windows open slightly ( heaters are on) and doors propped open. We are forbidden from having background music and the maximum mixing is 2 households. Without the sound of chatter from groups and music it does alter the ambience a little but we are glad to still be open and providing hospitality in some form. We are so pleased you found the bed comfy and were well taken care of. Hopefully on your next visit things will be more normal. Best Wishes...

Food in bar same as dining room, would not contemplate eating elsewhere. There are a few eateries in Lamlash, but all require booking, due to Covid situation. A great base for seeing as much of island as possible.

Tips:

Lamlash is a great place to start your exploration of Arran. Glenashdale falls and the Giants Grave are worth a visit. If you can't or don't want to trek, dont miss the Mogabout bus for a trip over the mountains and forests. Wonderful views and a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide in Alex. Find out more about the history of Arran at a great little museum in Brodick.

There is also a play park that’s well maintained & a co-op next door to hotel which we found very handy. There’s lots to see and do in Arran and where the hotel is situated it was easy to get to places either by car or bike. We didn’t use public transport however there seemed to be a regular bus service on the go.

Having stayed at 2 hotels since lockdown restrictions have been lifted, Lamlash Bay really are exemplifying how it should be done. Cleanliness and safety was top priority but they hadn’t forgotten about the warmth and competence needed to make a hotel stay memorable. Restaurant was fantastic, breakfast and dinner were amazing, service excellent too. Absolutely zero complaints. I would like to suggest a photo of your staff without face masks though, face to face contact and smiles are the one thing I missed, even though I could tell they were smiling underneath the face coverings.

Dear guests, we are very sorry to hear you had issues with your tables not being ready in the bar. The whole booking the bar for drink slots is a new procedure we are trying as we have lost tables due to social distancing. We allow 1 and half hours for dinner in the restaurant but sometimes guests are finished before this so it is something we need to be more vigilant about. It has been busy and with bank holiday we have been trying to fill tables between bookings too. We are pleased that overall you found the room and cleanliness and staff to be pleasant. Thank you for your your feedback and hope to see you again.

Could not fault the hotel in anyway. The way they addressed Covid was first class. Felt safe from the first time we walked through the door, having a meal, having a drink till we checked out. Food was fantastic and our room, room 10, was stated as a small room by the hotel was more than ample with a view to die for.

Just one thing, stay and eat there.

We had room 6 which was slightly to the side of the hotel. Good sized bedroom, comfy bed and great views of the beach and Holy Island. Would most certainly recommend this hotel without a doubt and will definitely book again if we return to the Island.

We were stuck overnight after ferry cancelled. Managed to get the last room in this lovely hotel which was classed as a single but was big enough for the two of us for an overnighter. We had an early start in the morning so we’re going to miss breakfast and they very kindly made us a packed lunch to take with us. There is lovely cosy bar attached with a coal fire (heaven) where we spent our afternoon reading our books and having a couple of drinks. Would love to visit again in the summertime.

The restaurant in the hotel is lovely. We had our evening meal there and it was delicious and total value for money. You won’t go wrong.

We had an amazing and comfortable stay at the Lamlash Bay hotel. The helpfulness of the staff really was the highlight for us. Every day they helped us check ferry statuses, advised what we should do and continually ensured we were comfortable and happy - even packing up a lunch box for us when we had to wait hours for the ferry back to mainland. We appreciate your help so much and made a difficult situation much easier, thank you!

Tips:

Glen Sannox walk was beautiful, stopping at the Corrie Hotel pub on the way back. We always loved the toasties at the Little Rock cafe too, and delicious dinners at the Lamlash Bay hotel. Our favourite was just driving round the island and seeing the views from different angles.

Really fabulous hotel, great staff and an issue with room was resolved quickly. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the pub has that rare vibe which most Scottish pubs cannot seem to manage. Cosy and warm, comfy seats, a log burner, background music and not bright white lights! Super comfortable beds and powerful shower. Co-Op right beside the hotel which is open early and shuts late which is super handy.

Tips:

If climbing Goatfell and a competent hiker, do not go from Brodick Castle, go from Comrie, stunning hike. If a fish fan, the seabass and king prawns dish in the hotel was to die for!

Highly recommend the pizza but all the food looked great with a large choice. Wish we could of stayed longer to try other dishes. The breakfast was spot on also.

Fabulous hotel, right on the shore front with amazing views across the bay to Holy Isle. Staff are all lovely and the food in the restaurant was outstanding, both at breakfast and dinner. Well stocked bar with plenty of comfy chairs and a great atmosphere. Very reasonably priced accommodation which is clean and well furnished - comfy beds and modern bathrooms. Smart TVs in the bedrooms and excellent guest Wi-Fi. It's an older building and the attic rooms are affected by steeply sloping ceilings. These don't pose too much of a problem - just be aware if you're a taller traveller!

Get a front facing room if you can - you won't be disappointed!

Dear Guest, Thank you for your review. We are a small hotel and cannot have a dedicated member of staff just sitting in the reception 24 hours a day. As I recall you just walked in on the chance of getting a room and we were able to accommodate; but again the reception desk per se was not manned at the time you arrived so we hope you were happy that we could check you in in the short few minutes that we did...

Great stay overall. A couple of points I would highlight :- 1. it felt sometimes that bar staff were "doing us a favour" in accommodating food orders when, according to them, the kitchen was busy and "it might cause chaos with the chef". This didn't come across well at all, particularly given that we were residents of the hotel for several days and spent substantial amounts on dinner and drinks with you. 2. you need to offer more than a single measly sausage with the breakfast options! Surely there must be good locally-sourced sausages that you could showcase?

Owner Response:

Dear guest, Thank you for your comments and I thought I would respond to your points. We are a very small team, and it is extremely challenging to find staff on Arran. As such we know what service we can offer well and where we will struggle. This is why we repeatedly inform our guests that they absolutely need to book if they wish to dine with us as we get very busy. When people do not book we will struggle to fit them in and herein lies the problem when the bookings are not made... Obviously for our guests we will do everything to fit them in but please understand that this disrupts the whole other bookings and timings that were already there. As for breakfast, we do not limit to one portion but our guests can ask for as many items as they want; so all you need to do is ask for another sausage on your next visit. We are pleased that you overall experience was good and would hope to have you again stay with us.

Whilst the service was good a couple of staff members were not always pleasant. This was also commented on by other residents. There was,however, a staff member with a long ponytail who was serving in the bar both nights of our stay who was very friendly and most helpful. Glasses in the room rather than plastic cups would be appropriate given the current situation regarding plastic. The shower was rather temperamental and I had very hot water followed by freezing cold. Overall, a good stay but the best thing was the view

We only booked last minute, so got the very small double room. However for a one night stay it was good value with modern fixtures and the view was amazing. The hotel has a lovely location on the island. Breakfast was excellent as were the staff, and we really enjoyed the seabass for our evening meal. The barman also was very entertaining.

Tips:

We only had 23 hours on the island but managed to have an amazing ride around all of it. We certainly want to come back to walk in the forests, climb Goat Fell and look at all the art and craft shops. Corrie Bay is excellent for seal watching. Brodick Castle is worth a visit ( we only had time to enjoy a walk around the interesting gardens and woodland). The Lochranza Distillery is a must and is where we caught the ferry to Kintyre. The walk to Machrie Moor to see the standing stones, burial mounds and stone circles is well worth the walk on the west of the island. That is all we had time for on this small island of contrasting bare mountains and green wooded hills .until we return.

A very welcoming but small hotel in a beautiful location. The service could not be faulted and the room itself was spacious and very clean. We were fortunate to book the last available room which was the suite overlooking the shore. This suite was very nice if a tad pricy. The facilities were limited, bar and restaurant but they were more than sufficient for our needs. The food served was excellent. We would certainly return.

Tips:

Arran is the kind of destination where visitors have to make their own entertainment. They need to travel around and find restaurants and cafes they like and if possible see as much of the island as they can. There are many, many walks available and lots of choices to eat. There is so much information available, Google and Information Bureau, that the visitor cannot go wrong.

Our rear facing top floor room was good value and still had a view of the hills behind hotel. Two flights of stairs to negotiate to reach room. Overall an excellent choice for visiting the wonderful island of Arran

Tips:

We used the stopover whilst travelling to Islay and spent a day cycling around the bottom of the island. There was loads to do plenty of places to eat. Loads of gift shops for those little souvenirs. We like Lamlash bay a lot. Not too busy but also not too quiet.

I would have given full marks but the front outside seating area was a bit ...dirty . Ash trays left full , litter on the ground and table and chairs out-dated . It wasn’t very attractive as you arrive . Also a small bike shelter would be a good idea . We arrived by bike and had to leave them around the back in the open air ( whilst they were safe,they were not protected by the weather.) Apart from that your hotel is a great place to stay !

Tips:

Look for the old harbour walls, submerged at high tide. Spot 'erratics' and other geological features. For drivers, drive around the island (allow 2 hours) where you can see seals, otters and occasionally basking sharks and porpoises as well as ancient standing stones.

Menu- whilst food good I feel restaurant food was somewhat limited. Suggest introduce a salad, this is recommended for good / improved health. A cold main course option would be a positive move Specials were the same each night- should be varied and exciting. Your chef should be happy with the challenge and diners welcome the initiative. Do local boats land shellfish or salmon ? Management are to be applauded for having great staff and reinvesting in the business. We shall return.

Tips:

Visit Lagg Distillery Cafe on corner of road leading to the jetty - excellent and worthy of a visit. Excellent selection of home baking.

Owner Response:

Dear Guests, Thank you for your feedback and constructive criticism. Living on an island comes with a unique set of circumstances including delivery and storage. So for a small kitchen like hours and a 38 seat restaurant the menu has to reflect what is possible. Lamlash Bay is a "No take zone" and Seafood for commercial purposes should have a paper trail including records of what temperature and method it has been transported at etc.We do have Haddock, Seabass and King Prawns on the menu as well as other fish on the specials from time to time. We do have a Goat's Cheese Salad on our main menu under the mains course and I'm not sure if you didn't see this? I agree that Specials should be changed regularly to keep things interesting. We recently changed our menu and are currently using up ingredients for dishes that were on the old menu which is why they appear to be on all the time. We are glad to hear though you would happily return and thanks again for taking the time to leave a review.

Nice basic pub in great location. Staff awesome but rooms fairly basic. The curtains had no lining so the room was bright at around 4am and the towels threadbare. Bed comfy and food in restaurant was excellent. A little bit of fixing would go a long way in making the property much better. No excuse for thin curtains at all.

Dear Guest, We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the service and location but sorry that you found the room to be too bright. The weather has been exceptionally glorious and this room faces the sunrise so yes, it would be bright early. We do take on board customers feedback though and are currently sourcing new curtains. Since taking over the hotel 4 years ago we have worked continuously to upgrade and improve the facilities here. This Room, room 3 was the last room to be upgraded by the previous owners so other rooms and areas have taken priority. Thank you again for leaving a review and for staying with us.

A pleasure to stay at a hotel where the staff all pride themselves on giving good service. The Hotel is spotless and the food in the restaurant is probably the best on the island, without 'specialising'. There is something on the menu for all palates. The hotel is well situated and our room overlooked the bay which was very pleasent

Tips:

There is something for everyone here whether it is walking, cycling or just touring around. There's plenty of wildlife to see. Make a visit to the new Distillery ay Lagg, it's interesting to see a modern ,purpose built, distillery.

I thought the hotel was excellent with a superb breakfast and a great choice of evening meals whilst not being overly priced. My single room was much bigger than expected with plenty of storage space. My only criticism, and that is personal to me, is I found the bed a bit too soft; a firmer mattress might have given me a better sleep.

Tips:

I looked at other places to eat in Lamlash but none were as good in terms of selection or price than the hotel. The hotel restaurant does get busy but, travelling alone, I found it no problem getting a table. Highly recommend the walk to Glenashdale Falls a few miles south and the hike up Goat Fell for magnificent views of the island. I had my golf clubs with me and highly recommend Shiskine, a 12 hole course with some very interesting holes and breathtaking views out to sea.

Room 9 was a bit small for a double but as I was on my own that was ok. The ensuite bathroom was a bit cramped with only one small shaving mirror about 6 inches diameter but again for 1 person it was ok. The room was spotless and the view was spectacular. The bed was particularly comfortable and the bed linen felt very expensive and good quality, so much so I even found myself looking for a label to check out who made it. Breakfast was excellent and served quickly. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. The only negative I can think of is the price. At £93 for one midweek night for one person it did seem a bit expensive but this seems to be a common theme on Arran.

We thoroughly enjoyed our staff - lovely hotel and great bar. We would say, though, that we were disappointed in the food.Thought the evening menu could be more imaginative and have a local flavour, and breakfast didn't seem to feature local produce.

Our favourite spots were Brodick Castle and the stone circles at Machrie.

First time we have stayed on Arran and at Lamlash. We will definitely be back next year. Accommodation we could not fault, we were in room 10 overlooking the loch - the view was amazing. The food here is to die for especially the Sea bass on crushed potato with garlic and prawns - beautiful. The staff are really helpful and friendly and we felt right at home whilst having a drink in the little bar. Will definitely be back next year.

Tips:

The Drift Inn is a must. The food is beautiful, very tasty, lovely atmosphere - and it has a huge log fire. Places we visited and loved was Kings Caves - took us about 2 hours to do the full walk, the scenery whilst doing this walk is amazing. We did do a couple of walking through the Glens as well which we loved.

On each occasion we have enjoyed welcoming, very clean, comfortable.freshly decorated accommodation. The management and staff have always been very friendly and helpful and the food has always been first class. An excellent hotel in a great location with fantastic views overlooking Lamlash Bay.

Tips:

Great walks,cycling, fishing and sailing on the doorstep of the hotel. All of the nearby villages have good visitor attractions eg Brodick Castle, Glen Ashdale Falls at Whiting Bay etc etc. The Isle of Arran is often said to be Scotland in miniature and it is very true.

Whilst we enjoyed our stay there were some aspects of the room that we felt really let you down. 1) Room 2 was too cold and attempts to increasing the heating had no effect. 2) The duvet on the single bed is far too thin for this time of year especially given point 1. 3) The shower is totally unacceptable in a room costing nearly £100per night. If the water pressure can’t be increased then a good quality power shower is required.

Dear Guests, We hate to think that you suffered the cold the night you stayed with us. After you left we discovered the radiator valve had been turned off ( not from the dial). We are so sorry and would have gladly fixed it, provided extra duvets, plug in radiators that we keep for emergencies etc if you had notified us of the problem. Your feedback is important and on changing the shower head, the flow and pressure were back to normal. We are glad that otherwise you enjoyed your stay and only wish we had been given the opportunity to rectify issue for you. Once again, apologies for this.

We enjoyed our stay so much! Everything was perfect! Only not so positive thing is that dogs cannot stay alone in the room (so we couldn’t bring ours, because we had a distillery tour booked). I find it understandable to be honest, but it just means that I cannot come back to your hotel if I want to bring my dog with me and book some indoor activity where dogs are not allowed. A pity, because I really loved the stay!

Dear Guest, Thank you for your glowing review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. I am sorry that our pet policy doesn’t fit with your needs whilst holidaying in Arran. Even the most chilled dogs can whine , bark and scratch when left alone in completely new surroundings. We once had the best dog in the world ( according to its owner) jump on a leather sofa when left alone and it’s claws punctured one of the seats. The whole sofa had to be replaced ( and ordered from the mainland). The room had to be discounted until the new sofa arrived. We therefore can’t take any risks. I’ve been trying to think of solutions, sometimes owners leave their dogs in their cars whilst dinning or visiting attractions. ( Weather permitting). There are also some excellent dog walkers in Arran and I’d be happy to help you arrange that if it’s a suitable option. Once again thank you for your review and we do hope to see you again.

Dear Guests, thank you for your lovely comments and it was a pleasure to have you stay. The best ( and cheapest) way to control your booking is by booking direct with the hotel. We are not able to personalise on booking.com so it appears the only option is to inform us in the comments/ additional information box if using them. When you hover over the "pet friendly" sign it says charges may apply at the hotel. I'm sorry that they are not clearer and I am currently following this up with them. Thanks again and we hope to see you in the future.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay in the Lamlash Bay Hotel’s new no. 11 suite. The room was spacious, warm, inviting and had spectacular views overlooking the bay and Holy Isle. We decided to dine in the restaurant and would recommend the food and friendly service in both restraurant and bar. Breakfast was also delicious and plentiful.

Tips:

Buses to Brodick and Whiting Bay provide some variety and are a cheap way to see the island (though infrequent so always check timetables). Plenty of beautiful walks nearby. We had coffee in the Pierhead Tavern, just along the road, prior to checking into the Lamlash Bay Hotel. The Parlour is a good, newly opened cafe/ice-cream shop in Brodick, where we ate whilst awaiting the ferry home.

Third time staying here and will definitely return. Stunning location, great staff. The only downside was a large crowd of guests who took the place over and were very noisy. However this is no fault of the hotel staff, who were very apologetic. Food was amazing as usual. We had room 1 which had a balcony overlooking the Holy Isle. All in all a great hotel with a personal touch. Thankyou to all.

Excellent place to stay, very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was lovey and included vegetarian option and evening meal was superb. Great room with everything we needed and lovely and warm. Fab views from hotel and Lamlash is Great base to tour the island from. We also loved the fact that this hotel is dog friendly (whilst being respectful of residents without dogs) so nice to let us have breakfast in the bar so our dog could stay with us, perfect! We will definitely stay here again!

Tips:

We also ate one night at the Pier Head Tavern which was lovely food and great atmosphere. Also dog friendly which is great. Lots of good info available at the hotel to help decide what to do each day, great walks and loads to see!

Although it’s a bold claim, as the first two humans to inhabit Room 11, I must draw comparison to the great mountaineers, Hilary & Tenzing, as they stood atop Mount Everest... amazed by their achievement and certain in the knowledge that the World was waiting to hear their story. As the onus is on me to review our stay at Lamlash Bay Hotel, I shall say this. It’s perfect in every way. Friendly staff, delicious food, a wonderful room and exactly what the Everest pioneers saw. A beautiful view.

Tips:

Unfortunately, we only stayed for one night on our way to Skye so we can’t comment on things to do on Arran.

We only had 2 nights and one whole day so only saw a tiny amount of this beautiful Island. But the walk from Lamlash to Brodick along the coast really works up an appetite, we had a lovely lunch at Crofters in Brodick, nice live music, nice atmosphere.

Dear Guests, Thank you for your review and I'm sorry to hear you had issues with your radiators. In a few days we are closing for works which include replacing some of the older radiators, installing heated towel rails in some bathrooms which currently don't have them and also a full servicing of the boilers. This should rectify any problems and set us up for a cosy winter. We do hope you will come back again soon.

Dear Guests, We appreciate all feedback and the time taken to write your review. We are sorry you didn't feel the room was good value. We do try to inform guests that it is cheaper to book direct as the booking channels all charge such high commission. I'm afraid that there has been some poor communication here and for that I am sorry. Dogs are not allowed to be left alone in the hotel room. When housekeeping went in to clean they saw a large dog alone in the room and this is why your room was not cleaned. Thank you for staying with us

1 night's stay - Fire alarms disturbed us at 9pm/10pm going off 4 times then 2 more times at 4am. We were also woken abruptly by a drunken guest banging on our bedroom door at 00:30am. Spoilt the 2nd day of our honeymoon and made for a very tired next day travelling.

Dear Guests, We are so sorry for the disturbances you experienced during your stay. It is reassuring that the fire panel and alarm sounders work well, however a false alarm like this going off several times in the one night is every hoteliers dreaded nightmare. The following day the smoke detectors were taken down and cleaned as something so small as specks of dust can set them off. There have been no subsequent false alarms since. It is very unfortunate that you also had your sleep disturbed by another guest and we are really sorry to hear this. We would love to have you return and allow us the chance to experience a normal night at The Bay.

The hotel was immaculate, staff were very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be planning another visit real soon. We had breakfast both mornings which was lovely and lots of options too, we also had dinner one night as we were too late booking on our arrival for dinner the 1st night, booking for dinner is an absolute must, as lots of local people book here, which says it all really, dinner was beautiful, portions were very generous too. Our stay was spot on with no problems.

Tips:

I would recommend Lamlash Bay Hotel to anyone looking to visit Arran for a nice time. We had a sea view room, which was awesome, got lovely photos of the sunrise over The Holy Isle. It’s also very central with free parking on the street and only 3 miles away from the ferry port. There’s lots of stuff to do on the island for everyone. We visited The Heritage Museum, well worth a visit, loads to see and do, great for walkers, cyclists, golfers, the list goes on! Also there’s Arran aromatics, cheese factory, we drove slowly round the whole island, stopping at different spots, it’s a beautiful Island with lots to do, I could write a book here, but, to anyone who hasnt visited, get yourself over, you won’t be disappointed!

Dear Lamlash bay hotel staff, We would like to thank you for our stay. The dinner was really good and the room was clean and confortable. Thank you also for your advice about the weather conditions: we went to the pier just after the check-out, and our car was the last one to get into the ferry before they cancelled the line for the entire day. Even if we didn't see anything about Arran island, we went back to France in time to go back to work and to see our wives and children :-) Thank you again! Best regards, Bastien and Pierre

This is our second stay at the Lamlash Bay Hotel and once again it failed to disappoint. This hotel is in an enviable position with clear views across to Holy Isle. The rooms are tip top and tastefully decorated, cleanliness is faultless. The bar is well stocked and the staff are great, lots of chat and very welcoming. The restaurant food is extremely good and the breakfasts are delicious! We'd recommend getting a lot of walks in to work off the pounds gained! Overall we would recommend Lamlash Bay 100% and we will be back again.

Evening menu in restaurant appears to be tailored to the hotel's main clientele and perhaps could do with having a little wider appeal.

I only have one complaint, the shower tray in our en-suite was very slippy & their was no shower mat to put down so we had to use one of the hand towels. I should have made you's aware of it on our first night but we forgot. As a person with mobility problems I did find it dangerous as I was frightened I would slip & fall.

Tips:

Lamlash as some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland, in fact the whole island is just stunning it would be very hard pick out any one place. I would just tell anybody to explore the whole island.

Owner Response:

Dear Guests, We are sorry that you found the shower to be slippy and would have provided a shower matt if you had asked. The shower tray was installed just over a year ago and the new designs are supposed to be anti slip. We do take all feedback seriously though and will look into the matter. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and that despite this you still ranked us highly. We do hope you will return and stay again soon.

The owners are very people friendly and treat the guests like friends. The food is quite good. The rooms and public areas are clean and tastefully decorated. The hotel is dog friendly.

Tips:

You can see the whole island by buses and the schedules are such that you can can change buses with little or no down time. It will take all day to ride all 3 bus routes to see the island. Your day will only allow about 1 stop. There is almost 2 hours between buses if you hop off to visit a town or the distillery. Allow 2 days to see more of the island by bus. Some of the roads are quite narrow so in our opinion the bus makes less stressful trip.

Tips:

Pre-booking of evening meals in Lamlash in high season essential. Brodick Castle should be stunning when opened in 2019 Isle of Arran Distillery first class. good food. Coffee Pot in Whiting Bay (next Golf Club) 1st class for lunches and snacks. Arran Aromatics worth a visit for smelly stuff. Leather shop/ Arran Brewery also worth a visit.

If you want a tranquil holiday and love hill walking, Arran is the place to go. If you want a GREAT hotel to stay in, this is the place. VERY friendly and informative staff, and a feelgood factor throughout. Lovely well kept rooms. Great breakfasts and evening meals. Extremely dog friendly (you have to have breakfast and meals with a dog in the bar - but it is not a bar, it is more a lounge). I rate this hotel very highly. Book directly, not through an agent and save £££).

Tips:

As I said previously, Arran is a tranquil island. You can actually HEAR silence. It has great dog walks (some can be steep) but there is not much to do to amuse teenage kids and there is zero nightlife (but isn't that why you wanted away?) Pub lunches are a rare commodity, but the Old Pier Cafe in Lamlash is an excellent (dog friendly) place to have a big lunch or light main meal. There is a fair sized co-op in the village for general shopping. Best evening meal place in Lamlash is the hotel that bears its name - book in advance to ensure a table.

This has become our favourite hotel and place to stay. We have stayed in many others. The location is well placed. Lamlash is well served and convenient. The staff are welcoming, knowledgeable and provide excellent service.

Tips:

The hotel restaurant is the best in our humble opinion. There are alternatives, the PHT for pub grub or the Drift Inn for more up market (& price). A trip over to Holy Isle is worthwhile. You can enjoy the seclusion, peace and tranquilty or climb over the top or more leisurely round the coast. The bus service will take you anywhere. Whiting Bay, Kildonan and Blackwaterfoot are quaint and picturesque. If you have transport, Arran is good for two and four wheels, the Ross ans String roads will take you through fantastic scenery to the other side of the island. If you’re up for it Goat Fell (not quite a Munro) is well worth it. Although, with the exception of this summer, they say “if you can see the mainland it is going to rain and if you can’t, it is raining”! If you’re in to it, the brewery and cheese shop, just north of Brodick are worth a visit. The Brodick Bar is good value for money and very popular.

As our chosen base for a one-week holiday we couldn't have anticipated a more professional yet friendly hotel in a more delightful setting. Having a spectacular and endlessly fascinating view of Lamlash Bay and the Holy Isle, our room also enjoyed a low-key contemporary look without feeling corporate, a comfy bed, plenty of storage space and a spotlessly clean en-suite shower room. Housekeeping matters were attended to with care and a sense of pride. The restaurant provided a flexible selection of the usual breakfast goodies while the dinner menu, without any pretensions towards fine dining, offered sufficient enticements for us to dine in more than we dined out. All of the staff were courteous, friendly and professional and whilst, of course, courting and accommodating visitors to the island, the hotel still manages to balance those aims with the needs of customers within its own community.

Tips:

One week is not enough to have experienced all that Arran has to offer but worthwhile outings included a visit to the Arran Heritage Museum in Brodick, walks to King's Cave and the Machrie Standing Stones, and a boat trip to the Holy Isle. Drumadoon Bay offers acres of sparsely-populated sandy beach. For a light fishy lunch with a difference (portions aren't vast) try Mara in Corrie, whilst either Cafe Thyme (at the Old Byre) twixt Machrie and Pirnmill, or the Coffee Pot in Whiting Bay, will fill any remaining space with a decent hunk of cake (but beware - some of the island's "tearooms" seem to close at 4pm or 4:30pm, ie teatime!). Most of the main villages provide public loos which are now run by volunteers since the (short-sighted!) Council withdrew funding, so please take some change with you as donations are vital to maintain these essential facilities!

Certainly dine at the Lamlash Bay at least once. The castle is well worth a drive and stop off at Arran Aromatics, the Cheese Shop and the Brewery on the way. Check out the roof terrace at the Pier Head Tavern,

Owner Response:

Dear Guest, Thank you for staying with us and thank you for your recommendation. Regarding the price, please be aware that on the one hand it is always cheaper to book a property directly rather than through a general booking website where the properties have to pay large commission. On the other hand the business environment is such that the hotel/restaurant industry is under immense pressure on their pricing. In fact the local councils have increased business rates on the tourism industry by close to 100%, not to mention the yearly increases in energy, food, wages etc. All in all we are forced to increase our prices continually and believe us when we tell you that we work very hard to deliver the best value for money as we continually challenge our current suppliers as well as source new ones for the best prices possible so as to minimise any price increases for our customers.

This is a family run small hotel that offers most everything you might require for an overnight stay, as well as an extended stay. The rooms are large and well appointed and the beds are very comfortable. The owners and staff are wonderfully pleasant and accommodating. The food is excellent and priced fairly. The property includes a cozy pub (bar) and there is a grocery store next door. All in all, this is where we will be staying when we return to the Isle of Arran!

Tips:

You can explore the entire island coastline utilizing the bus system by purchasing a "Day Pass" that allows you to hop on and off as often as you like. The price is very reasonable. If you wish to explore the interior of the island then MOGABOUT (a multi-passenger all-wheel drive vehicle and guide) is the answer. There are so many things and sites to see on Arran that serious planning and detailed scheduling would be wise.

We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel and all our needs where catered for. My only problem would be how slippy the bathroom floor comes when you get out of the shower and the ne floor mat doesn't really get you out of the bathroom when you have children as my daughter fell straight on her back on bathroom just missing the sink with her head. We solved this by using more towels on the floor to cover it. We would stay again and look forward to it when we visit.

The hotel is centrally located, 2 minutes from the shore and 1 minute from bus stops. All staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spotlessly clean, nicely furnished and comfortable. Wi-Fi was available, together with a television and tea making facilities. The restaurant was bright, spacious, clean and well staffed. Breakfast was freshly cooked, ample and tasty. This is an excellent centre for exploring Arran.

Tips:

Golfers would find the Lamlash Golf Course an interesting challenge. A trip on the ferry to Holy Island is very worthwhile since the island presents either a climb for a fabulous view or a walk to the lighthouse at the south end. It is also possible to walk to Brodick along the shore, but wear boots as the north end of the walk is over boulders, or up a cliff path.

We had a great stay in the hotel, the staff were friendly and helpful and the service and the food in the restaurant was very good. the hotel is in a great position and the views around the bay are very good. We would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel, and we will be back in the near future.

Tips:

We enjoyed the walk from Lamlash to brodick around the coast. The path splits 1/2 way round. We took the coastal path. It's not too difficult but parts are boggy and you need to watch your footing. Also the Glenashdale Falls and the Giant's Graves walk in Whiting Bay is a nice short walk with great views.

We did a mini tour of the isles and breakfast was by far the best from cereal choices in boxes, the porridge and the freshness of the cooked options. The evening meal options were a good mix with relatively short waiting time and I did wonder why there was not an all in option, DB+B. All of the staff were friendly and the level of service was great. Our room was spot on too. There is an element of eccentricity about the place. Don't lose it.

Tips:

You can walk along the beach for quite a distance and on the coast path towards Brodick you will see seals. With a basic grasp of bus timetables you can tour the whole island from right outside the hotel. Walking up to the summit of Goat Fell is a typically holiday sort of thing to do but allow plenty of time, pack some water and take a snack even if you have just downed the Lamlash breakfast. Flip flops are for the insane and stupid. Something that requires very little planning is acquiring a pint of Arran Blonde, strolling thirty yards to a bench and gazing across the bay to Holy Island. Chardonnay also works.

Nice and clean hotel in a very nice location on the main street of Lamlash, just across the road from the Lamlash Bay beach. Room was spacious, with decent sized bathroom, comfy beds and central gas heating. Breakfast was tasty and made fresh on order. We also had a dinner in the hotel restaurant and it was very good. Staff was friendly and kind. I would recommend to stay here.

Tips:

Me and my friends completely fell in love with Isle of Arran. There's so much to see. I don't really know what to recommend as we travelled by car around the entire island and still haven't managed to see everything. We intend to return in future. There's an amazing difference between the southern and northern part of Arran - lovely beaches X hills with waterfalls, forests and moorlands, prehistoric monuments - especially Machrie Moorland Standing Stones, castle ruins,lovely small villages - Corrie...

We were very pleased to be able to bring our dog, and the hotel accommodated this well. The room was nice, however the bed and duvet was a bit small leading too some loss of sleep.

The hotel is very clean, well decorated and comfortable but as I mentioned when we were checking out, the one thing that would improve the room would be to have two chairs since, in most cases there will be two people staying in the room. We had super porridge and extremely good scrambled egg at breakfast. There was also a nice dinner menu on our first night. The proprietors and the staff in the restaurant and the bar were very helpful and pleasant.

Tips:

We also ate some tasty food in the Pierhead Tavern (Lamlash)and enjoyed an evening of sixties music. Their steak night on a Friday also seemed like a good offer. Also in Lamlash, Chameleon the dress shop is well worth a visit. Extremely pleasant lady and quality garements.

The restaurant is fabulous - the food quality is superb and the service is excellent (we had dinner and breakfast). All the staff are very friendly and helpful. Our room (number 7) was disappointing however. Despite having a double bed, I would say that it was more suited to single occupancy. Although the radiator was up full, the room was cold at night and the bathroom has no heating - therefore was freezing. I would still recommend this hotel to others as I understand the other rooms are impressive.

Lovely welcoming hotel, with very friendly staff, couldn’t do enough for you, the bar was lovely and cosy and the food and decor in the restaurant was excellent. We had a lovely stay

Tips:

Only stayed one night so didn’t see many attractions, we drove around and the scenery was stunning, you had to be a bit careful on the narrower parts of the route. We saw a red squirrel and a large heron all within a 1 hour drive

I purchased this overnight stay for my daughter and partner (who is Spanish). They are both strict vegans and were delighted that their dietary requirements were met. They absolutely loved the room they were allocated and full of praise for every member of staff.

Tips:

If you're travelling from Glasgow on a Sunday during winter season the train may be cancelled however a bus will be provided which isn't a problem. If you hope to visit the Holy Isle at this time of year you will be disappointed because the ferry there doesn't operate at this time of year. My daughter already knew this but enjoyed the views of the Isle and found the local walks to be picturesque and enjoyable.

The hotel is an excellent base to explore the Isle of Arran with a bus stop less the 100 yards away which will take you anywhere on the island It is also perfect for visiting the holy isle.

I had to book a room at the hotel laat minute due to the ferry cancellations and we were able to book in only 20 minutes after booking the room. All the staff we encountered were lovely and very helpful. For the price we were paying my sister and I would end up in a box room but the room (Room 8) was very big. We were very impressed with the level of cleanliness. My sister is a former house keeper so she knows what to look for and both the room and the bathroom were spotless. We ate at the hotel twice, once before we'd booked in an the night we stayed at the hotel. The food was lovely and plentiful. The kitchen has a proper pizza stone oven so you taste the difference. I would definitely recommend having a pizza here.

Staff were very welcoming and friendly, they gave a warm welcome when we arrived for our stay. Our room was emaculate, we were overjoyed with the room. It was very spacious, we had a balcony which gave us so much more of an access to view the beautiful scenery. The hotel gave a fob alongwith the room keys incase we arrived back after the doors were closed up at night. The food was absolutely amazing, wide range of food to eat and breakfast is included in the price of the room aswell.

Tips:

There is a bus that can take you to Brodick and other parts of Arran. You can go to Goatfell and climb it if you're brave enough. There are local pubs which also have an eating areas close by that offer a wide range of food. There was a Christmas Fayre on while we stayed and it was really really good. There's a few shops to go and purchase presents to take home with you & the people who work in the shops are kind and welcoming aswell.

Lovely place to stay. Clean and comfy rooms. Also ideal for a single traveller. Was able to dine there and chose my meal from an extensive menu. Breakfast was very good. Loved the porridge. Definitely recommendable

Tips:

Co-op and other places to eat nearby. They have their own restaurant and bar area as well. Good bus connection. But best to have a car. Good for single travellers. Ideal for couples and single travellers. They also have an outdoor flat, ideal for people who want some privacy away from the hotel. Arran has lots to offer in regards to hikes and other pleasures.

Would stay here again definitely, what a lovely atmosphere at this hotel. I just felt relaxed straight away. On arrival staff took us to our quaint and cosy room, gave us all the information we needed. Restaurant was great so was the food, and being gluten/dairy free was not a problem to the staff. I commented how refreshing it was that it wasn't a problem that it usually is. Staff are very warm,welcoming and friendly.

Tips:

We visited the cheese factory, and the castle as we were heading home. But the islanders are the friendliest people I have met in a long time, very helpful and accommodating. I will return in the new year for a longer stay and get to see more of the island.

We enjoyed our stay at the Lamlash Bay. there were absolutely no issues whatsoever. the food was excellent, the staff were efficient without being overfriendly and the hotel was exceptionally clean. Our only issue would be the notice in the room regarding the towels. There was no heated towel rail to assist with the drying so we had no choice to leave the towels for changing everyday. After all would you want to pay £115 per night and use wet towels. environmental issues aside.

Public Toilets on the Isle of Arran appear to be few and far between.

We stayed in room 11, an annexe to the hotel. The room and cleanliness was very good. The shower in the bathroom was ver poor. The bathroom itself was spacious sO I think more thought needs to be in the layout. If my son or son-in-law was there they would not have been able to use the shower unless they hunched over. As it was both myself and my husband's heads were a mere fraction from the ceiling and it was extremely claustrophobic while showering. The staff were polite and chatty, excellent.

A very nicely situated spot for exploring the island and stunning views out across the bay. Food is good, bar has great ambience and staff are accommodating. Clean and tidy - all you need for your visit. George V in Paris, Intercontinental in Seoul or Villa d'Este on Lake Como it is not BUT this is Arran and as far as value, service and location is concerned you wont really do better!

Tips:

I took my car and did a trip around the perimeter of the island (about 2 hours) and also drove up and down the String Road which bisects the island. I stopped at all sorts of places as the mood took me - I was only on Arran for 24 hours to scope it out....Simply stunning. It is not a huge place and I will not impose suggestions - FIND OUT for yourself. An amazing place!

Nice hotel, a bit over priced for the facilities offered, no flavoured teas, no water, no decent biscuits, no treats. The room was nicely decorated and comfy, the outside balcony was tatty and the glass windows dirty so view was spoilt. We took our dog and were then disappointed to find that when we ate in the restaurant we had to leave him in the car, we could have taken him into the bar area, but as this was a weekend break and a treat we wanted to eat in the restaurant. The people were very friendly and service was good.The room was stated as a Executive suite, a bit misleading!

This is the 1st time i've stayed in The Hotel since its been taken over by Segre & his Wife, from the min you walk in the door your made to feel welcome & from there the whole experience was 100% First Class from the room , food , lounge , staff etc,etc I had to friends who where making their 1st trip & the biggest complement I can give is we booked The Hotel for next year before we left !!!! Thanks again to Serge & his Staff. Roll on next year.

We had a room at the front with a balcony, which gave a great view over the bay. It was individually furnished, very clean and comfortable. The restaurant offered a wide selection of dishes and the food was good. The staff were friendly and efficient. We enjoyed our stay.

Tips:

We mainly ate in the hotel but had good lunches at the Douglas Hotel and the Old Byre. Our main tip is not to trust CalMac - they cancelled our ferry crossing off the island from Brodick because the ferry broke down. When this do this, they do not automatically re-book you on the next ferry and leave you to fend for yourselves. In our case, all the other ferries for that day were fully booked so we ended up getting a ferry from Lochranza and driving an extra 120 miles to our next destination. Other people missed planes etc.

Can't praise the staff highly enough. From the very patient man who allowed me to change the booking twice to the girls in the restaurant, the service was fabulous. We stayed in the family suite which was perfect for our needs and had everything you could need plus a bit more. I was really impressed by the atmosphere, facilities and especially the staff in this lovely hotel.

Tips:

A trip to Arran is not complete without a few walks and a visit to the cheese shop.

Tips:

Good food here but for variety, the Fiddlers in Brodick has excellent food and high quality music. The short walk to Kings Cross point from Whiting Bay is recommeneded.

A couple of points. As we were staying for a week it was disappointing that the "Daily Specials Menu" didn't change much. It was also a pity that local produce suppliers did not feature on the menu. The staff were excellent, friendly and engaging.

Tips:

Must have lunch or afternoon tea at the Pier Head Café. Travel around the island clock wise. Take morning coffee at the Kildonan Hotel and look for the sea otter by the rocks. Be sure to travel with a pair of binoculars. Buy a "Midge" spray. Remember there are no public toilets on Arran, in Brodick use the ones in the Coop or the Ferry Terminal.

A comfortable little hotel with great views from our rooms 1 and 4 and which served the purpose of our visit very well. Staff friendly and helpful Restaurant food simple but tasty. Our main gripe was that the bathroom of Room 4 had an unpleasant smell ? due to drains or the inadequate flushing of the toilet which required at least 2 attempts to flush properly. At times the smell would be in the bedroom inspite of open windows. Room 1 was very nice

An amazing stay in this central hotel. Staff couldn't be more helpful. All meals well presented and delicious. We have booked again for next year 2018. The only thing I would suggest is the main floor in the family suit to be lifted and carpeted or a nice Lino fitted as it's a noisy floor to disturb children sleeping.

The Isle of Arran is an island which will take your heart and you will love the views and general atmosphere.

We stayed in this charming hotel to extend our visit to Arran and it is an absolutely fantastic hotel. The room was stunning with a sea view but the biggest plus for us was that they accept dogs. We have stayed in other hotels down south that accept dogs, however the room was very dated and it was nice to feel that we didn't need to compromise on style or comfort just because we had our dog with us. The staff are very attentive, friendly with great service throughout. We will definitely be returning to this hotel.

We were lucky and saw the seals and grouse . We did the art trail and even spoke to one off the local artists . Taste the cheese at the local shop in Brodick and whiskey at the distillery Everyone was friendly and helpful.

This was a lovely hotel...food was great, room nice, bed very comfy and had a great view over Holy Isle. Staff were all more than helpful and very friendly, as were the locals. Only littLe hiccup was our shower-went from scalding hot to freezing cold so had to duck in and out of the flow - could have been that I didn't figure it out right enough.

A wonderful hotel with exceptionally high quality food at both breakfast time and Dinner. One suggestion would be perhaps to have one more Ale on tap in the bar - perhaps a cask ale if possible.

Tips:

Beautiful views of the Holy Isle right outside the Hotel. If you plan to eat outside of Lamlash and need taxis then book in advance and not all run into the evening (out of season anyway) - they might over the summer months.

Being a former resident of the island I was familiar with the location of the hotel when I booked it. My wife and I however were allocated and upper room with a spectacular view of Lamlash Bay and the Holy Isle. The room was welcoming, clean and warm. The hotel décor is fresh, staff all very friendly and the food is very very good. The hotel is also very dog friendly which is a big plus.

Man who greeted us on arrival was borderline rude and made us feel like everything was a hassle. Behaved with very poor people skills and seemed annoyed that we wanted to check in early, even though we'd phoned ahead the night before to say this. His attitude was arrogant and very backwards - as if he was doing us a favour by letting us stay in the (overpriced) room. Lack of friendliness from staff in general with other male staff member being slightly rude, invasive and questioning my methods for some things I had decided to do for my holiday in Arran. Only staff members with any sense of customer service were the female receptionist and bar staff. I nearly walked out without staying within 1 minute of arriving.

Owner Response:

Dear Guest, I am very shocked and disappointed to read this review. I have tried to call you to discuss the matter further and gain valuable feedback as guest experience is very important to us. I know your holiday started badly when you didn't have a booking for the ferry and couldn't get your car on. You decided, rather than coming as foot passengers to wait till the following morning so you would have transport to sightsee around the island, even though this meant you would be charged for the first night if we were unable to sell the room last minute. You were very clear about this and even admitted that you had worked for a ferry company before. When you mention the "over priced room" is this because of the cancellation charge for the first night or the room price per night. Our prices are competitive with other Island hotels. The male member of staff who checked you in as we were starting breakfast service was unaware that you hadn't made it over the night before and replied to you that he was sorry but nobody had checked out yet, thinking that none of the rooms were ready for that days check ins. We could and shall improve on communications here so that this kind of information is passed from one shift to the next seamlessly. The other male member of staff doesn't remember talking to you, (other than on the phone), however it was a very busy weekend. I apologise sincerely on behalf of any staff who made you feel unwelcome or was rude to you. That is absolutely not the impression we want to give. We pride ourselves on our staff, who are consistently rated very highly in reviews. I was the one who did your checkout and asked if everything was ok for you. It would have been good to discuss any problems with your stay then as there are other areas like "cleanliness" and "facilities" where you have marked us poorly without elaborating. Once again, I am very sorry to hear now that you did not enjoy your stay and should you wish to discuss this further, please do give us a call.

We found the location excellent,the staff and management friendly and very helpful.The decor of the room was nice and room was actually bigger than we had thought from the website pictures.It is quite a cold room,but provision of a heater meant we could control the temperature ourselves which was good. Only slight critique would be the shower which didn't seem to regulate the temperature,and you had to step out of the cubicle to actually turn it off.

The onsite restaurant had delicious food at a reasonable price,the small bar was warm and comforting. We really did enjoy our stay and would readily return.

Dear Guest, We are very disappointed and sorry to read your review. Room 9 has recently been decorated and the mattress is new. We have had such good feedback about these mattresses ( we have replaced many in the hotel) that we even bought one for ourselves which we love. The temperature turned very cold during your stay and the radiator that is normally suffice for the dinning room was not enough. It did take a long time for the second one to heat up and heat the room sufficiently. There was also a spare convector radiator left in your room, but yes we are looking into changing the fixed one for a bigger unit. We are constantly working to improve and upgrade things at the hotel. We have an extractor fan ready to be installed and are waiting the electrician and roofer so hopefully this will be done in the next couple of weeks. We are pleased that you enjoyed the location and were satisfied with the staff and cleanliness but apologize again that you were disappointed with your stay.

The food is exceptional, we dined in the restaurant both nights of our stay, 5* food at fantastic prices and a wine list chosen by serge and Meg through their years travelling was a lovely wee touch. Great music and friendly staff in the bar... We will be returning this year. Thankyou for having us!

The hotel is superb and the location is out of this world, off the scale! The owners and staff are so friendly. The front bedroom was very tastefully decorated and had sufficient facilities as we were out and about with our dog Harry. The food at breakfast was excellent and our meal one night was so light and exceptionally well cooked, don't miss it! The location so close to the beach and Holy Island was amazing and we couldn't have chosen better. We aim to return in summer - fingers crossed. If you read this, just know that we loved it.

Tips:

We drove round the island twice and criss-crossed it twice through the hills and forests. Amazing wild life - just keep your eyes peeled as there is an abundance of animals and birds. We loved Lamlash Bay though. We visited Arran Aromatics which was lovely to see all soaps and creams being made! If I could live there, I would. Just go and see it - sun or rain it's beautiful.

I would like that the staff member that show the room to my, explain how the front door work when is close on the night time. I like to run in the mornings and, maybe because I am not to clever, I need 5 mints to found out where the exit bottom was, and how to open the door again. I was in room 3, a beautiful room with a fantastic views, but the water pressure on the shower is too little. I really enjoyed my stayed and if I come back again I will be stopping there.

Tips:

The full isle is fantastic, the walk to the water falls is good and worthy.

Lovely hotel in excellent location. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nice bar with good atmosphere. Cooked breakfasts are delicious as was everything we had from the restaurant in the evening. Dog friendly in every sense of the word - staff took the time to pet our four-legged friend whenever they saw him.

Tips:

Try and book a sea view room - you won't be disappointed!

I thought the Hotel was warm and friendly and was very happy to get an upgraded room with a beautiful view. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. Breakfast was good and we enjoyed a simple dinner and a couple of drinks in the well turned out bar. My only area of disappointment was the shower, there was so little pressure it just didn't work well at all which was a shame. However the hotel was overall a nice place to stay and I would stay again

Nice location and ideal for our stay. Only negatives were that the shower in Room 9 is far too small. The heating wasn't working properly in our room but the staff were extremely quick to resolve and provide an alternative heater. The bar is well stocked and a nice place to sit. Breakfast was also very nice. Pleasant and attentive staff and good value for money.

Very relaxed and friendly staff.

Tips:

Great for taking walks, either along the coast or in the Forrest , with super views over Holy Isle and surrounding areas. Plenty benches to sit on and relax whilst enjoying sun rising and setting - especially good for taking photos and rekindled my desire to pick up my paint brush! Perfect location as a base for visiting the whole island. Lovely little shops and few places to eat out. Golf course set in gorgeous hills with views to die for. A co-op on shore front - so easy to make up your own picnic.

The Lamlash Bay Hotel is second to none. We cannot wait to return, thanks to the wonderful staff, the wonderful accommodation and the wonderful food. We were made to feel so very welcome and totally at home by staff who were so very professional, whilst warm and welcoming.

We had a fantastic time in your lovely hotel. It is extremely well managed friendly family hotel. The proprietors were lovely people who work extremely hard to make your holiday relaxing and comfortable. Even their son helping in the kitchen which made me smile. All a lovely family. The food was beautiful. We ate here twice for dinners and the food was brilliant! I had steak cooked perfectly medium. The view was amazing. My mum was with me and she is 76. It was lovely and central to everything. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else to stay when I come back to Arran and neither would my mum.

Tips:

Drift inn also lovely food and very welcoming. The pier inn cafe. Made in Arran cafe. Loved going around the whole island..highlight seeing the seals, active shop and other shops in Brodick. Loved the spectaculour views. Disappointed with the byre shop and tearoom that's not in Brodick. Mum struggled with stairs in the hotel as she has cops and on inhalers and medication. Think there was 32 stairs and made her really tired however she carried on as the view from room 9 is lovely if you are young and fit. So better to check with hotel prior to booking. I never thought and hotel was full. Also one other small thing is the wooden chairs at the window, more comfortable chairs would have been better. I am not critisising in any way because we had a fantastic time and wouldn't have it any other way. Just tips for travellers and constructive feedback. This hotel is fantastic for anybody and I highly recommend it. Also fantastic breakfast and reasonable prices.thank you so much to the staff members and the hotel management for a wonderful holiday from serena and from my mum, Doreen. You are all wonderful and are doing a brilliant job!!

All local restaurants are good as is the LBH's restaurant. Avoid Ocean Breeze tours as far too expensive for what one gets.

This was a last minute booking and we were given their family 'flat'. It consisted of two bedrooms, lounge/dining area and bathroom. It overlooked the sea. We had a meal in their restaurant which was very good and breakfast the following morning. We would definitely recommend this hotel. We were only able to spend the one night but had we had more time we would have stayed there longer. Perfect location for the island.

Arran is a beautiful island. Pick up the Arran booklet from the ferry when crossing. Lots of information about what to do.

Hotel has a lovely setting overlooking the water. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was very nice. I was so disappointed with our room though. The corridor leading to our room had a very musty smell and was very dingy. The room was small with no wardrobe just a rail with a shelf above . The bathroom was big but was spoiled by cracked floor tiles and missing grout. When we were checking out we had someone else's food bill charged to our room!

The pier head inn was lovely with fantastic food . Great value for money. Arran itself is beautiful.

Owner Response:

Dear Guest, Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to write a review. We have done a lot of work since taking over 1 year ago and have plans for the low season. These include doing the corridors and re carpeting these areas as well as some of the carpets that haven't yet been replaced. We have added extra lighting in the last couple of days, ( possibly since your stay). The bathroom in room 10 is a poor use of the wonderful space. We are looking at what can be done, at the very least the floor will be replaced during the quiter season. Room 10 has sloping ceilings which makes it impossible to put a wardrobe in. As most guests only stay a few days, the recessed railing is sufficient. We have tried to ensure that for all the booking channels and on our own wesite the top floor rooms are described as 2nd floor, sloping ceilings etc. I'm glad we managed to sort out your bill while you were still here and I'm sorry again that it had been wrongly added to your room. Thank you so much too for your patience while I navigated the re-funding process on our new system! I'm glad you found the staff welcoming and enjoyed the beautiful views and I'm sorry that you felt let down by some other areas of your stay. We hope to keep on improving and thank you for your feedback.

A lovely hotel with very friendly and professional staff. The room up in the attic is not small as advertised and was very clean with a comfortable bed and the shower being a Mira was excellent. The food in the restaurant was excellent on both evenings as was the breakfast.

Tips:

I would recommend the hotel restaurant which was excellent, especially the pizzas. Lamlash is a very pretty village and the bay is sheltered by Holy Island. Lochranza is a lovely place to visit and Broddick Castle is worth a visit especially the gardens.

can't comment on the other rooms but the recently refurbished suite at the front was truly excellent with wonderful views and a balcony to sit and enjoy same. bathroom was basic (no bath just shower) but clean and perfectly functional. bed very comfortable and quality furniture provided.

Tips:

bar & dining has everything you want in the hotel and staff very friendly and attentive. other places to try are the drift inn which has superb food but you can't book, basically turn up and your name will be taken for a table.

We received a warm welcome and the helpfulness of all staff members helped make this a memorable holiday. The cleanliness of the room and our room was serviced each day. We had a lovely room with al veranda - both with a view over the bay to Holy Island. You walked infor breakfast to be met by a happy smile which was still in evidence in the evenimh. Meals were excellent with an imaginative dinner each evening. Dinners were popular so it is advisable to book in the morning. Advice of a nearby laundry service which returned the laundry next day (washed but unironed - not a problem as the room provides has an ironing boardboard and iron). A lovely holifay and we wish the owners good luck and g9d fortune!

Tips:

We enjoyed trips to the interesting Heritage Centre and the Arran Aromatics which provides a wide variety of lucury bath products. Explore less accessible sights on Arran aboard the versatile MOGABOUT. This custom built vehicle takes you to places such as an amazing waterfall and breathtaking scenery. Our driver, a kindly and avid conservationist who was raised on the Island had a wealth of anecdotes to entertain old and young alike.

We had a fantastic 2 night stay. Hotel is lovely, food great both breakfast and evening meal. The location is sensational, looking across to Holy Isle and so we had just about the perfect weekend.

Tips:

Lambast is probably the best village on the island, but we would also recommend the art gallery in Whiting Bay, the beach at Blackwaterfoot, the distillery in Lochranza and the shops in Brodick. But we still have lots more of Arran to explore!

The only negative is having to eat in the bar rather than the restaurant, which isn't really equipped for a large group (we were a party of 7)- on both nights it was incredibly busy and noisy. I didn't anticipate that not being able to leave our dog in the room unattended would apply to having breakfast (where we had to leave him in the car). Other than that a really enjoyable stay.

We visit every year to play golf. Lamlash Bay Hotel is ideally located, the rooms are perfect, the view of the Holy Isle beautiful with the added benefit of the bar and restaurant complimenting the hotel facilities. This is my 4th or 5th stay and I know I'll be back.

Tips:

If you play golf - play Lamlash - ignore the seemingly simple 64 par descriptions. It's a tricky course with some fantastic scenery. If you have kids - go crabbing down at the pier! Oh and bring a waterproof jacket - it's west Scotland. It occasionally rains.....

The room was clean and comfortable, we didn't have a view from room 2 but it didn't matter as we spent most of our time outside enjoying the walks on Arran. We had both breakfast and dinner in the lounge bar, as the dog could be with us. Really enjoyed the breakfasts, they certainly set you up for the day. Dinner was great the homemade pizza comes highly recommended. We are already thinking of going back for another visit.

This was our third time on the Isle of Arran but our first time at the Lamlash Bay Hotel. I would thoroughly recommend this Hotel to anybody planning a trip to the island. The Staff were very friendly and courteous, the room was very clean and tidy and the food served was top quality. The location and views from the hotel are absolutely stunning. Will definately be making our fourth stay at this hotel next year.

Tips:

The food served at the Lamlash Bay Hotel was as nice as I have ever tasted. Hats off to the Chef. I would recommend a trip to Brodick Castle, Swim, Sauna and Turkish Bath at Auchrannie Resort, a round of Golf at Lamlash Golf Club and trips to Micro Brewery at Brodick and Whisky Distillery at Lochranza.

Tips:

Arran has many lovely restaurants but you can't beat the food in the Lamlash Bay Hotel. The soups are wonderful. If you want to see the whole island without taking the car, then with the bus timetable and a little planning you can travel around the island coastline. Brodick castle and gardens are well worth a visit.

Last minute booking so in the small room which was well decorated and had a nice bathroom and tea and coffee facilities . Breakfast was very tasty and the views from the restaurant and bar of the Holy isle made it a great location. 10 minutes drive from the ferry places it well for exploring Arran .

Tips:

The Lamlash bay restaurant and pub was good.Located next to a co-op for your wee extras and three other good pubs/resturanst in walking distance as well as an Indian carry out . Our highlight was doing a RIB boat round the Holy Isle with ocean adventure from Lamlash Pier .

Ours was a last minute booking so we didn't have a pick of the rooms, everything was extremely clean, the food and service was great, but there was no where for residents to have a quiet drink. We went to the bar to have a drink after eating and a walk, but were drowned out by the extremely loud locals, to the point we sat in the porch on a bench so we could have a conversation.

Location was gorgeous with stunning views from bedroom which we kindly got upgraded to as it was our anniversary. The owner Serge and staff are very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was very nice. The Hotel was very clean, tidy and comforting. Me and my boyfriend would highly recommend this hotel in Lamlash and will also stay again ourselves.

Tips:

We didnt really do alot as we just wanted to enjoy our time relaxing on the beach and appreciatng the amazing scenery But there is a local bus that can take you to another place to see. Expect to not use your phone as the signal is not very good but this is a good thing as it helps you to switch of from reality back home.

First time visiting the beautiful Isle of Arran, it was breathtaking. We could have chosen a better hotel to stay. The room was immaculate, breakfast first class and staff were so friendly and accommodating. Perfectly situated to enjoy the magnificent view.

Tips:

Take time to go around the Island. When you turn every bend there is another view which will take your breath away. Cant believe we were only 2 hours away from home in Glasgow, it felt like another world.

We had lovely rooms overlooking the bay and Holy Island. Obviously refurbishment is still underway and bathrooms, whilst more than adequate don't at present live up to the standard of the rooms. Food was excellent, both breakfast and dinner and staff were helpful and friendly.

Tips:

Can't imagine there's anywhere better to eat in Arran, let alone Lamlash! Very good cafe close by at the end of the pier for tea and cakes. Would have loved to have done the Holy island walk but our friends had a dog and dogs not allowed.

At £100 per night the view was the back area and the bathroom was only a small shower .Though everything was spotlessly clean. Might have expected more choice at breakfast not just little box cereals and a regular cooked breakfast. The cost was big hotel price at home so this is the comparison made. The staff were pleasant and helpful and it is in the most beautiful spot overlooking the sea. Recommendation is a reflection of the cost not the service.

We paid for a room overlooking the bay which was very comfortable and well appointed. Had a balcony too. We had three excellent breakfasts and two main meals in the hotel. The evening meals were very good too with plenty of choice. Also an early bird menu from 5 o'clock for those who wish to eat early. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Plenty of room to park at the front. Would recommend this hotel.

Tips:

Would recommend the hotel for an evening meal. The west side of Arran is quieter than the east, but both have magnificent views and plenty to do. Would recommend visiting Lochranza with its castle and distillery. Plenty of golf courses although I didn't play any of them. Good island to drive around and plenty of cyclists too so must be pretty safe, with caution of course. Two roads cross the island. The cross road that starts from Lamlash is the prettiest/most dramatic.

This was our second visit to Arran and our hotel lived up to all our expectations. A fantastic room with great views which made it very difficult to leave the window seat and go out. Lovely breakfasts which set us up for the day. A great break.

Tips:

A trip round the island is a must with short stops in the villages to soak up the views and hospitality. We also did the coastal walk from Lamlash to Brodick then took the local bus back to the hotel. Brodick was a bit of a disappointment with limited options eg coffee shops etc. Hopefully it will recover.

This hotel is a real gem. The staff are exceptional nothing is too much trouble. I came with my sister and her partner and some friends for a birthday weekend.

Great evening meal they have a bar which is open till 1am breakfast fantastic and really well catered for vegetarians and vegans they even had soya milk in. Will definitely be returning cannot fault this place it's perfect.

Tips:

We drove up to Lochranza to see the deer and we saw seals in between Sannox and corrie we drove to whirling bay to do a waterfall walk and we had lunch round at black water foot we had a skateboard with us and bikes so much to do here weather was superb.

Tips:

Fantastic location, and recommend paying a bit more for one of the front rooms with the great views etc... Lamlash is a lovely village and very near (by car or bike!?) to Brodick (the main town) , and not far to fantastic walks up Goatfell and other hills...

First visit to Arran. Hotel was in a great location with a 10 minute drive from Brodick Ferry port. We had a balcony with amazing views across the bay. Room was clean and reasonably modern with an en-suite shower. A bath would have been nice, but simply no room for it. Only 1 chair in the room, but again there wouldn't be space for anything more. A higher chair at the dressing table would have helped. Wife had to stand using the mirror to get ready. Excellent food. Good choice for breakfast and decent evening meals. Best Pizza I've had in a while! Hotel should sell the restaurant more as it's really nice. Menu's in rooms and outside would help. Nice bar with plenty choice of drinks. Staff friendly and helpful.

We had a double room with sea view. The view is lovely and the room is a good size but not utilised as it could be. There was one chair in the room when there could easily be two, there was no desk or dressing table area where there could be one, only a couple of hangers for jackets etc but could be more space for hanging clothes if you have to hand wash some things and most of all the bathroom was huge but didn't have a bath where there was clearly ample space for a lovely roll top by the window that would have been brilliant! Also no towel rails for hand towel next to sink or to right of shower, but there is space. It would be good too to have restaurant and bar menus in the room. Everything though was clean and comfortable, the breakfast nice and the pizzas from the restaurant are great - just some improvements that seem obvious haven't been made in this particular room.

Tips:

Brodick is only about a 5 minute drive away, where you can walk round the castle grounds, feed ducks at Rosaburn, visit the cheese factory, the chocolate shop, Arran Aromatics etc all in one morning.

We received a very warm and friendly welcome at the Lamlash Hotel. The staff were very helpful and the hotel is genuinely dog and family friendly. We had a wonderful room (4) with a fantastic view of the Holy Isle, comfortable beds & plenty of space for us (travelling as two friends) & our Labrador. The breakfasts were good and the hotel evening meals excellent with an early bird special. The beach is directly across from the hotel with a road & grassy area separating the two. We would not hesitate to stay here again and would recommend the Lamlash to others.

Tips:

There are several good places to eat in Lamlash but we particularly enjoyed Fiddlers In Broderick. Excellent food and service with a menu catering for meat lovers, vegetarians, vegans & gluten free. Different live music each evening and again an early menu from lunchtime only. Very dog & family friendly. The pony rides/trekking at Cairnhouse Stables is also to be recommended. Dawn is fantastic and her horses are treated like royalty. She adapts the rides for all ages and experience and riding along the beach at Blackwater is a beautiful experience.

Given that my stay coincided with major kitchen refurbishmentand a major refit on the Co-op next door there was little to complain about re noise etc, ok only a light uncooked breakfast offered but it was sufficient for myself, toast, cereal, fruit/yoghurt, still got fresh coffee most importantly for me. First stay for me but I will be back x

Only thing wrong with our stay was the fact restaurant was closed due to kitchen refurbishment which meant eating out was inconvenient and very expensive. However stay was discounted, owners were apologetic and staff were really pleasant throughout our stay, would certainly go again.

Tips:

Have a drive around this island and you will certainly come across much wildlife, ask staff for local places to eat if you don't want to eat in the hotel.

Lamlash Bay hotel was a great wee place to stay. Due to the weather and other factors we ended up spending more time than planned in the hotel, eating there and having a drink on Saturday evening. The food was great (dinner and breakfast) and the staff are all very pleasant. I would definitely recommend staying there, and wish we were around for longer!

Tips:

If you're staying in Lamlash on a weekend, it's probably best to book or enquire about a restaurant in advance. We found that many places were either booked, had a function or the kitchen was closed - so do enquire in advance! The distillery is a lovely place to visit with friendly tourguides and best of all great whisky.

Good hotel with very nice rooms. The view over to the holy isle is spectacular and with a sea view room makes opening the curtains in the morning that little bit more interesting. The hotel has a nice bar and a good restaurant. The bar is very much like sitting in someone's front room and gives that quaint feel. We were there with a 5 month old baby which made things a little more difficult. The staff in the whole hotel were really nice and very accommodating with us ending up eating in our room after a brief stint in the restaurant. We even had the owner of the hotel offering to help us by holding our son when he was having a moment over dinner at the Drift Inn.

Tips:

Lamlash is on the right side for three of the main golf courses on Arran (Brodick, Lamlash and Whiting Bay). You can get to them all within 15 mins of the Lamlash Hotel. There is a lovely pub down the road from the hotel, the drift inn. It isn't cheap but it does great food and drink with a very friendly local feel about the pub.

We arrived on Friday night and were welcomed quickly and warmly and shown to our room. We stayed in Room 6 which was lovely and spacious. We ate dinner in the hotel on Friday night - very nice and very friendly staff. Breakfast on both mornings was lovely - little touches like serving a proper coffee selection instead of instant in a pot really make the difference. We will definitely be back and will definitely recommend to our friends.

Tips:

Try the hotel restaurant for dinner but also get along to The Drift Inn about 10 minutes along the road. The Old Pier Cafe does a cracking lunch and the chocolate brownies are phenomenal.

The staff were very accommodating, friendly and obviously enjoyed their work. We ate a meal there and the menu was loaded with a great selection at good prices the food was very tasty. The breakfast was very impressive with plenty to choose from. We were cycling so leaving our bikes in their outhouse wasn't a problem, we'll be back for sure!

Silly but annoying. The food in the restaurant was excellent and more than made up for the décor. We ate there both nights we were in Arran. View from the bedroom over the sea to Holy Isle was awesome.

Several small things regarding our room (room 2) and other minor problems detracted slightly from our holiday experience. The slightly strange reception area was not staffed upon our arrival and our whole introduction to the hotel seemed ham-fisted and amateurish. At no stage, did we ever register at the hotel or sign any receipts for invoices for food/drink etc which were charged to our room. We found this a bit odd. However our bill, when presented at the conclusion of our stay, was accurate. Bedside lamps provided inadequate lighting for reading purposes There were no towel rails or toilet roll holders in the bathroom. Other than these small criticisms, The Lamlash Bay Hotel was an excellent base on Arran for our 4 night stay. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We would stay there again.

The family apartment we got was ideal for a family with one 5 month old and one 3 year old. Having two separate bedrooms off a large living room was great and allowed us to take the 3 yr old to bed without disturbing the baby. The staff were helpful and friendly and the hotel restaurant was also of a really high quality, with a good kids menu. I would stay here again and have already recommended it to friends. Only a washing machine/drier could improve this room.

Tips:

Auchrannie resort is great on a wet day for kids as there is a child friendly pool and a really good soft play. Arran Aromatics allows kids to make their own soap. Our three year old now wants to wash his hands!

The only criticism I could make would be that, being a short person the mirror in the room was too high. There was a full length mirror on the wardrobe door, but the socket was behind the wardrobe and the mirror on the wall next to the socket was too high so I struggled when trying to dry my hair. Unfortunately that is a problem that I have encountered in many hotels unfortunately.

Tips:

We ate in the hotel restaurant and would highly recommend it. Had a lovely meal both nights and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Lamlash itself is such a lovely location, but the Island on a whole is just lovely so there is plenty to see and do. We particularly enjoyed our visit to the Arran Distillery.

The Drift Inn is a good alternative for eating and drinking (although a bit more expensive for a bit more selection of beers and food). The Arran Distillery is a good day out. Remember to take the bus.

We loved the hotel and decor. One of the best we've stayed in and definitely want to come back. The food was amazing also, freshly made, well priced, made quickly, nice background music, ambiance, decor and friendly staff. The restaurant was closed on our second night and we were gutted! We stayed in room 6 and were looking forward to having a nice couch to relax on in the evening but the couch in the room is different to what was in the photo on the website and wasn't very comfortable. The bed was comfortable but could do with a mattress topper to help even it out. Black out blinds would be beneficial. The tap in the bathroom was a little temperamental and the shower door made access a little difficult. One of the bedside lamps needed a new bulb. All these minor issues we're not enough to disrupt our stay in any way we will still highly recommend your hotel to others and look forward to returning :)

Tips:

As mentioned above one night of our stay the restaurant was closed as the chef had taken ill, we looked for restaurants in the area online and came across Eighteen69 in Brodick and found this to be of great value for money with an excellent selection of food in a lovely location. A drive around the isle is a must for those with a car.

The en suite is very small and dated in room 1 where we stayed. Also the room gets a lot of noise from the bar till after midnight. It would benefit from extending the bathroom into the bedroom perhaps? The draught beer tastes like the pipes need more regular cleaning as there is a peculiar taste left in the mouth.

Tips:

Don't book room 1 if you like an early night. The Glenisle hotel has the best food in the area. Lochranza, including the distillery is well worth a visit

There are of course other places to eat in Lamlash which are nice but our favourite, if we are venturing further out,is the Brodick Bar in Brodick. The whole island is beautiful and worthing touring around. Stop off at the many points of interest. The Cheese shop, Arran Aromatics and Friday's Child, just outside Brodick, are all worth a visit.

From the moment we arrived, we were impressed with the service from every member of staff, the cleanliness of the room and the food. Both evening meals and breakfasts were of an excellent quality. My only suggestion would be to put in a couple of bedside lights and also an additional light in the bathroom.

Tips:

The hotel is very well situated for travelling around the island; there's a Co-op virtually next door, should you need anything for picnics and also a few touristy shops and cafe's. Had we more time, we would have taken the boat across to Holy Island - pier just a few minutes walk from the hotel. Get down to Kildonan Bay on the south side and see the seal colony.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lamlash Bay - only sorry it couldn't have been longer. Great Family of 4 accomodation in the suite. Food in the evening was great too and breakfast hit the spot.

Tips:

We did the boat trip over the the Holy Isle from Lamlash and it was good to fit this in. We came over without the car as only a one night stay and the day bus trip ticket was good value although the bus times aren't as frequent so best to check time of bus back at each stop.

Had a lovely stay. The room was huge and had cracking views over to the Holy Isle. The room was kept at a lovely temperature which sometimes is a problem in hotels. We had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant and the food was lovely and staff were all very friendly and helpful especially the Irish chap and the young waitress at dinner. Enjoyed a few drinks in the bar and liked the informal setting of the bar area and comfortable seats. Only one negative comment would be that the bed in Room 1 was a bit lumpy and could feel the springs but the duvet and pillows were cracking. Would definitely return to the same hotel for our next trip to Arran.

Tips:

Good walk out to Machrie standing stones. Beautiful beach at Kildonan is definitely worth a look.

Liz Ian and their staff were really lovely. They had lots of time to talk to us and indeed Liz and Lauren were very nice letting our 16 month old son Baillie play in the bar area. The room was lovely as was the dining room and the food itself was of a very high standard. Nothing was too much trouble. The view is incredible!! The only thing that spoiled our break was having to come home early due to the terrible weather. We would like to return at some point (when the weather is calmer).

Tips:

A trip round the island by car takes just less than an hour. There are many beautiful places to visit or why not just park the car at a lay bye and enjoy the views. The locals are very friendly. Take advantage of booking the ferry with the hotel. Liz was excellent and very understanding of us when we needed to depart early.

Just back from this great little hotel, perfectly situated only 5 minutes from the ferry port with the bus stop practically right outside the building. Made to feel very welcome by all of the staff, especially the very impressive Brian who is a real credit to this place. My wife and I heard a lot about the food at this place, especially the pizzas, and I must say the restaurant did not disappoint at all, a varied menu of really well cooked food, from the chicken and venison dishes to the best pizza you will find outside of Italy! Our stay was the result of a competition win but I would gladly go back here time and time again.

The weather on the last 2 days was not great so limited what we could do. The castle is good on a rainy day but we never went through the grounds. The Hotel restaurant served tasty food and very reasonalby priced. the local Indian just about 2 minutes up the road was also good. The local cheese is a must!!!! If you try Lamlash golf Course I can thouroughly reccomend hiring a cart, much easier to get around, also they have good lunch time snacks.

Great location - ideal for children and a dog! The beach being so close was fantastic. The staff were all very friendly and we appreciated being able to eat in the bar with the dog. Very minor quibble - somewhere to put toiletries in room 1 while in shower would be great (e.g. small shelf).

Tips:

Leave the car behind and visit the island by bus - very good service which enables you to mix walking with buses (and means you can have an afternoon drink without worrying about the car!).

Good friendly staff and nice room with lovely view. Couple of small things. If we are paying a lot for a room, expect soaps replenished each day as we use them. Other hotels with similar or higher standard room for same rate, that we have stayed in, do this as standard. If you are paying for a superior room, you want it to feel more special and not skimped on. Bathroom needs hooks & rail to put wet bath towels on.

Tips:

1) Holy Isle Trip was excellent 2) Dinner at Lamlash Bay Hotel was excellent. 3) Dinner at Pier Head Tavern was excellent, recommend the Steak & Ale pie. 4) Dinner at Glenisle Hotel was also good, recommend Scallops and also the small portion of fish on menu is an excellent idea, means you can have starter & main. 5) Isle of Arran Distillery tour at Lochranza is well worth taking in.

Fantastic hotel in a beautiful setting. The family suite was just perfect for us and the extra space from the living area was very much appreciated, particularly by our Border Terrier. The Breakfasts are superb, Full Scottish was just what was needed to start the day. And the dinner menu was also fantastic. Great food, great portions.

Tips:

The Island is beautiful, particularly if you get some sunshine which we were lucky to have. The Drift Inn was a fun evening out with live music right on the beach.

Hotel ideally situated in lamlash. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room spacious and warm and cosy though bathroom needed a wee bit attention. Shower riser broken and shower base could do with clean mastic etc. Locals who used the bar were nice and chatty. Lovely log burning fire in bar too! Eat in the hotel the meals are excellent - couldn't fault any of our meals, we ate there 3 nights out of 4. Breakfast brill too.

Tips:

Drive round whole island it's absolutely beautiful. Visit Arran aromatics, Arran cheeses and Fridays Child at Home Farm. Definite visit is The Heritage Museum it's a must. Very interesting and informative info about Arran's history.

I firmly encourage a review of your booking/ cancellation policies to accommodate for natural disasters and emergency situations. I realize it was an extraordinary circumstance to be on the island during one of the worst snow storms in recent history resulting with an island wide power outage. We did offer to cancel our booking but were informed of the policy we would have to pay for the full reservation. Given the extraordinary circumstance, it would have made more sense to offer us a booking at a future date when things got back to normal. You would have been able to offer the room to someone more in need on the island. As visitors, we would not have been placed in a situation to feel guilty for using valuable resources during a natural disaster. Having said that, the staff did an outstanding job, especially given the extraordinary circumstances.

Check the weather in advance!

My husband, two daughters and I had a lovely weekend in this hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated and furnished. The room in which my husband and I stayed had a wonderful view over Lamlash bay. The breakfasts were plentiful and nothing was too much trouble. We had come over to Arran for the Lamlash Christmas festivities (hosted by the hotel next door) and enjoyed watching the Lamlash tree lights being turned on right outside our bedroom window! A magical weekend!

Tips:

The restaurant in the hotel is very good. Obviously I would recommend the end of November Christmas festivities. A trip to Brodick for more Christmas shopping is also advisable - and probably other parts of the island as well. Warm clothing is probably the best tip - wrap up warm when going outside!

There is a good bus service which runs through Lamlass. Arran has lots of walks, many of them only 3 - 4 miles long and are really well signposted. There are 3 places to eat in Lamlass but more in Brodick. The bus service continues till about 9pm so no need to drive if you would like a drink!!

We had a good one-night stay, mid week. The hotel was as advertised in the middle of Lamlash, overlooking the sea (not our room though that was made clear in advance) and was just what we wanted as escapees from campsite rain and midges! We ate in the restaurant and enjoyed the meal. The staff were all helpful, friendly and welcoming. We would definitely return. Criticisms? Only small ones - no milk sachets in room, only 2 coat hangers and a very creaky mattress! And if we'd been staying longer I'm sure two of these could easily have been resolved.

I really enjoyed my stay here. To be honest, as a single traveller I wasn't expecting much more than a bed to sleep in but the room that I was given more than met my expectations. There were couple of omissions: there wasn't a chair in the room or anywhere to hang the towels in the otherwise adequate bathroom. I used the bar and the restuarant and found both very good. Anyone staying at the hotel may want to book a table to eat as I didn't and found that it seems very popular with non-residents as well as residents which must be a recommendation in itself. An altogether very good experience and if/when I return to Arran I would stay her again and could certainly recommend this hotel to anyone else travelling here.

The hotel was good for us as it was the only one in the location that could accommodate our dogs as well! They were also welcome in the bar area where we could eat breakfast and dinner with them. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. The menu in the restaurant was simple but everything was beautifully cooked, sourced from local produce and delicious.

Tips:

Just go and see the beautiful scenery of the island! There's also a very nice restaurant along the bay where we had lunch at the Glenisle Hotel

Very thoughtful personal touches, for example, a bottle of Perry and Valentine's Day chocolates were provided with the room. Excellent breakfast included and the cost of staying was very reasonable.

Tips:

Wildlife spotting at Kildonan Beach annd walking up to Glenashdale Falls in Whiting Bay

We were a little disappointed that there was no bath (after a day on Goatfell) but, other than that, it was great. The barman was very friendly and helpful.

Tips:

Glenashdale Falls and Goatfell are well worth a visit.

All the staff and owners were extremely welcoming , friendly and helpful . Service was second to none , and I`ve stayed in many fine hotels throughout the world . The food was exceptional, and as I said , your chilli garlic King Prawns is in my top 3 favourite entrees of all time ! Thanks again to all the staff and Ian and Liz for a magical New Year break. Hopefully see you all in the summer. Kenny and Sandra

Tips:

If you love scenery and wildlife , a drive round the island is a must
