Super petit hôtel familial, très accueillant. Joli cadre, entouré par la nature et à quelques minutes à pieds du centre de Brodick. Les petits déjeuners sont bons, le bar de l'hôtel est super sympa et chaleureux. La cuisine du restau est simple, mais de bonne qualité. Un endroit où j'espère sincèrement revenir !

I had a lovely time at the Ormidale Hotel. All the staff were very friendly and both the room and the food was excellent. My only nitpick is that it would have been nice to have a better fan, as the one provided did not do very much and the day I arrived was quite warm, making the room very hot. I understand that this is not normally the case with weather in Brodick though, so it's probably not a big deal, and the next couple days were a lot nicer as it cooled down.

The hotel is pretty centrally located and Brodick is quite easy to walk around with some beautiful seaside views. I spent most of my time doing the goatfell hike which was definitely worth it, although decently challenging. Also I highly recommend the food at the Ormidale. I never ate anywhere else to be honest cause it was so good.

Would Recommend: Yes

Excellent hosts always available and very friendly. Room was very pleasant with a view and bedding changed midweek with fresh towels. Only one area maybe could improve. As we had wet days we struggled to find hooks on doors etc to hang up our wet clothes. Thank you for another great stay at your hotel. See you next year.

Good great in Ormidale especially the steal and alle pie. Delicious. Other restaurants try Brambles in Auchrannie resort and The Patlour for pizza takeaways excellent. Brodick Castle and Gardens a must visit and if your walkers - Goatfell, Glenashdale Falls and the Cock of Arran. Lastly a trip to Holy Isle well worth it.

Had a lovely few days at the Ormidale Hotel for the Highland Games weekend. I’ve been going every year for almost 10 years now and it definitely didn’t disappoint. Great/friendly staff, lovely food, clean bedroom, in a fantastic location just a 2 minute walk from the beach and shops. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the island.

The food here is delicious. I’d also recommend Little Rock, a visit to Brodick castle and if you like walking a walk up goat fell is highly recommended.

Would Recommend: Yes

13th August 2024:

Loads to see and do on the island

We had a great time at the Ormidale! Beatiful rooms with nice, soft beds. And we really enjoyed the pub downstairs! Great food, great service, and a great choice of beers and whiskeys. The perfect place to stay for a Scottish holiday.

Enjoy the pub downstairs, not just for food and drinks but also the evening activities.

Would Recommend: Yes

7th August 2024:

Excellent base for exploring beautiful Isle of arran . Quirky and some areas look a bit tired . But excellent cheerful staff . Lovely comfy bed . Hot shower ( needed after walking up goatfell). Good food ,beer and wine Gladly go back

Would Recommend: Yes

6th August 2024:

Very well situated at the end of the main street. An issue on the first day was quickly rectified by Laura. Laura and bar staff very friendly and welcoming and hotel definitely has the family feel about it. My dog was made welcome and a breakfast table was set up in the bar each morning to allow her to be with me. Breakfast was very good as were the bar meals. Nicer to eat in the conservatory rather than the bar as the tables and chairs in bar not particularly comfy.

Would recommend this hotel for solo women travellers. You can walk up and over the hill to Lamlash from the edge of the hotel. It is a lovely off-road trail, and if you don't want to walk back, take the bus, which permits dogs on board. I would recommend the Lagg Inn for coffee and cake, and again, they also allow dogs in the bar.

Would Recommend: Yes

Bodrick is a great little town, with excellent faciliies. There are very good restaurants and takeaways, supermarkets and specialist shops, including Arran gift shops, outdoor activities, and an excellent cheese shop. The whole island is a hikers paradise, catering for the the adventurous and for the not so adventurous. There are also some great beaches dotted around the island. There is also an outdoor adventure centre, and a reputable tour company for trips into the mountains.

Staff were excellent, helpful, friendly and considerate. Rooms were clean and comfortable, food was delicious especially the breakfast, lots of choice and would also make other dishes not on the menu. Evenings were quite busy in the bar and restaurant but we always found a seat, quiet and peaceful during day. Short walk to shops and ferry terminal and buses available at end of road ( our ferry was cancelled so unable to bring the car over but used the buses to see places so didn’t stop us getting out and about). There was 4 in our party and we had a wonderful long weekend. Thank you.

Arran is an amazing Island to explore there is so much to do and see

Would Recommend: Yes

25th June 2024:

Excellent location and characterful hotel. Laura, the owner, and all staff very helpful and friendly.

So many things to do and see on Arran. The Lochranza Distillery is most certainly worth a visit. The Ormidale hotel is ideally situated to explore Brodick. I normally walk the coastal path to Lamlash but this time, on the advice of Laura, I took the inland path past the Fairy Pools and it was a delightful gently undulating walk of just over 4 miles. Will most certainly do it again.

12th June 2024:

I was one of a party of 8 golfers and we stayed at the Ormidale for 4 nights and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is in a quiet location but is very close to all Brodick has to offer including being only a two minute walk to the golf club and Brodicks Main Street. The rooms were more than adequate and the quality of food on offer whether that be the breakfast provided or meals in the bar restaurant were excellent. The stand out thing for me however was the quality of the service provided during our stay, the staff were all so friendly and accommodating and they simply could not do enough for you. We will be returning to The Ormidale and I would recommend it to anyone.

Would Recommend: Yes

28th May 2024:

I enjoyed very much my stay in this very charming hotel with the garden and the cheerful friendly owners. The room feels slightly small perhaps because of the chairs and tables, otherwise very comfortable. The location is great as it’s on a quiet road just off the main road on the shore.

On Sunday the hotel bar hosts folk music so try to be there. The best ice cream shop in the area is just 5 mins walk from the hotel. Nearby there is a nice French food cart that opens Tuesday to Saturday.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th May 2024:

1st class service. Nothing was too much bother great breakfast, freshly made. Rooms clean and tidy.

Food at the ormdale hotel was excellent, places to see brodick castle and gardens highly recommended. And a must is glenashdale falls at whiting bay.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th May 2024:

Had a lovely stay at the Ormidale. Check in and out was easy. All staff were friendly and nothing a problem. Room we had was well equipped and clean albeit a bit small. Ideal for the one night we stayed. Breakfast choice was good and servers were very pleasant. The ormidale will be our first choice to book on return to arran.

A visit to the Holy Isle is well worth it, but don't attempt the over the top route if you're not an experienced hill climber. La Truffe Noire is great for a special meal, pricy but amazing food.

We had a wonderful stay at the Ormidale Hotel. Laura and the team looked after us so well with delicious breakfasts and tasty dinners. We were able to stay an extra night owing to Storm Kathleen and enjoyed the live music on Sunday evening. I'd love to stay again.

Local swimmers swim from the slip at Brodick, 15 mins walk from the hotel and Lamlash, half an hour bike ride away. The Castle, its garden and the adjacent glen are beautiful and the quirky local history museum is also well worth visiting.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th April 2024:

We loved our 3 night stay at Ormidale. All the staff were really welcoming and helpful and the hotel and grounds are very interesting and beautifully located. The breakfast was great. The evening bar menu is extensive and the food is excellent quality.

Perfect stay. Great pub, food, drink, staff and service. Can't wait to return.

Apart from the various romantic castle ruins, spectacular scenery, amazing geology and history, fabulous coffee shops, excellent hill and coastal walking, this visits highlights were: the Bob Marley biopic at the mobile cinema, Stronach Wood Rock Art/Petrglyphs, the Wineport cafe/restaurant, the Lagg distillery and coffee shop, the King's Caves woodland/coastal walk, the Viking Fort at King's Cross with stunning views into the Arran Hills and Holy Isle.

Lovely outside space sheltered by the trees with views over Brodick Bay and Castle and up to Goat Fell and Glen Rosa.

Food at the Ormidale is always great, large portions and very good specials. Walking distance to Co-op and beach and short driving distance to all places on the island including our favourites Blackwaterfoot and Cladach.

Such a beautiful family run hotel. I go every year and it never disappoints. I stayed in a single room, very clean and comfortable with everything you need, breakfast was also excellent. I also had an evening meal which was also delicious. The staff are all lovely, friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I would definitely recommend a visit to the Ormidale to stay, food or even a wee dram, the Brodick bar and Arran Botanical are great if you fancy a cocktail or 2 also. A walk up goatfell is a must for anyone visiting the island, Glen Rosa or even Brodick castle I’d highly recommend a walk to. So many beautiful places to visit while on the island.

Would Recommend: Yes

We certainly didn't starve!The Ormidale is full of character with an interesting history, and there was plenty of entertainment every night with Trevor's quizzes and music nights. Never a dull moment! Something for everybody.

Arran is a beautiful island with plenty to see and do whether you enjoy walking , cycling or simply sitting and looking at the views. Brodick has an excellent chocolate shop, brewery , cheese shop, and Arran Aromatics - all worth a visit , as well as the distilleries at Lochranza and Lagg. The Heritage Museum is a little gem, and Brodick Castle is also worth a visit.

Can’t fault the Ormidale - very good value and comfortable for what I paid. The room was nice and clean and I enjoyed the breakfast. There was less noise than I perhaps expected for a Saturday night. I’d have no hesitation staying here again for a similar type of trip. Very friendly people too.

I could write a book on things to see and do on Arran. My advice is simple: go! Great people, businesses, walks and scenery.

We loved our stay at The Ormidale Hotel. Everything was exactly as described and as we had hoped, if not better. The team at the hotel were really friendly and worked very hard to look after all guests. The table service was absolutely the best we’ve had in years and made us feel really relaxed. Our family room was just what we needed and we had the most amazing sleep, really struggling to get down for breakfast! We could hear the bar but it was no problem at all. The room was cosy, clean and had a lovely view.. We really enjoyed the evening quizzes. We would definitely return. Thank you for a lovely stay.

As pre warned I could hear the noise from the kitchen and bar below until midnight or so but it wasn't too bad. The room was lovely - very clean and nice quirky decor. Hotel itself was full of character as you'd expect from a victorian property. Saw others had commented that the bar smelled old - it did but that's part of the authentic charm of the place. The tofu fried breakfast was delicious- honestly best I've ever tasted.

Would Recommend: Yes

I enjoyed my stay at the Ormidale. The staff were were very friendly and helpful. The meals were excellent and it was no problem to ask for small portions as I could not manage the large very generous portions that are served up. My single room was very comfortable with modern en—suite facilities. I would certainly stay at the ORMIDALE in the future. Alison Anderson

Great to stay here again. Been coming since the 80s and delighted to see it’s still run by the family. The rooms were very comfortable- especially the bed: firm and a good length for tall travellers. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced. Would and do recommend The Ormidale as the best place to stay in Brodick.

Arran always surprises us with new places to visit. This time I did a bucket list and walk the 2 miles up in the hills and swam in the lochin near Thunderguy. Very very cold but glad I did it!

My friend and I LOVED OUR STAY. and notably so did other guests with whom we chatted. Staff committed to ensuring all guests were looked after and needs met. The breakfast on offer was amazing (from a slice of toast, to porridge, cereals, fresh fruit, creme fraiche eggs whichever way, fish, cheese, all very tasty and well presented. The hotel is surrounded by a mature garden including lots of outside seating. There is even a rope swing where we noticed other guests and visitors having fun. There is also an amazing glasshouse where you can have dinner. Of an evening the hotel puts on entertainment including name the singer of the song, music bingo and general knowledge. I believe there is music on a Friday but we were gone before this. In fact myself and a few other guests were in our 60's and not bothered with any noise. Myself and my friend enjoyed coming back from our evening walk and joined in the evening competition, and had suooer before going to bed. Would not hesitate to recommend. WE HAD FUN..

We brought a car over which allowed us to drive round the Island and stop wherever we fancied however there are plenty of buses to so you can still get around the island. Its not unusual to see ottors or seals on the way. The Castle I would say is a fantastic and well worthwhile visit. For a Top Class steak dinner and surrounds you can eat at the Brambles in Auchrannie Resort. Keep your bank account topped up for that... We came back with beautiful gifts, cheeses, dundee cake chutney, olives, candles, soaps , perfume and more..

This hotel is definitely the place to go. The food was excellent,the room comfortable, the staff very friendly and the evenings were buzzing .Entertainment in the form of quizzes. Very entertaining. The locals obviously enjoy the hotel too.Every evening was busy with all ages.

The hotel is situated just off the main road from the ferry port. There are plenty of places to visit,Brodick Castle & Gardens,the Heritage Museum,and if you like walking ,a walk up Goatfell.(not for the faint hearted )is a must. There s plenty of geological sites on the island and lovely bays. The lovely thing is nowhere is overcrowded with tourists ,you can enjoy all the places at you own pace.
