Excellent breakfasts, attentive service, beautiful views: what's not to like!

If you're walking and need a modest lunch or supper, turn _left_ out of the driverway, down the road (or the steps) takes you to near the north end of town, where you'll find carry-out pizza (one pizza feeds one), carry-out chinese (one starter and one main feed two) and a small Co-op that's open until 10 p.m. Use the microwave / over / grill in the breakfast room to warm things up and eat there. You'll find plates, cutlery etc. there for just that purpose.

Would Recommend: Yes

I stayed in room 5 for a week. A lovely house in a truly peaceful, green and picturesque setting! Received an exceptional warm and attentive welcome from the host.

20th July 2024:

Not a great review I am afraid. Shower rail was hanging off the wall and the toilet seat kept moving. On the day of departure no hot breakfast was provided due to illness. I would have thought that a substitute could have been found. Alternatives were provided but not set out on plates etc but in their shop packaging. Help yoursel.

Would Recommend: No

I am ever so sorry that you had an awful stay. I really am unwell and I felt best to keep away as not to spread it to you all. The shower I must apologise was pulled off the wall by the previous guests and the one I fitted has come loose. Sorry again.

If I could give more stars than the maximum of 5 I would! This place is truly marvellous. We could only stay 2 days unfortunately and that was not anywhere near enough time.

I was visiting Arran with a walking group and really enjoyed my stay at Belvedere. It was clean, cosy, and Allan was a superb host. Amazing views over the mountain/sea from the front of the building. Recommend if staying on Arran!

Brodick Castle has lovely grounds to walk around, and the castle is alright too. We enjoyed the Douglas Hotel for drinks and Wooley's bakery for takeaway lunch. Goatfell mountain was a good hike but quite strenuous. There are lower level walks on the island too. What a beautiful island!

We had food at the Ormidale, listened to live music at the Douglas and had a few drinks at the Edgewater and the Fallen Goat and can definitely recommend a visit to these places.

Belvedere is a perfect place to stay in Brodick, Isle of Arran. For us, who fancy a traditional b&b, it is brilliant. We stayed in a nice and very clean large room with a view over the bay and enjoyed brilliant breakfasts every day. Allan is not the traditional but still a brilliant host, a great cook and provides all sorts of tips and advise for us as guests. Thanks!

We went to the destillery in Lochranza for a whisky tasting - highly recommended. The castle gardens are truly beautiful. We traveled without a car, so we went on regular buses around the island which was great - don't miss out on the south coast even if the mountains in the north may seem more spectacular!

Would Recommend: Yes

29th August 2023:

Allan is a fantastic host, going above and beyond to make sure everything is comfortable. His breakfasts were amazing! The room had a great view of the harbour and was easy walking distance to Brodick’s services and walks.

So many footpaths to explore including the Arran Coastal way, a steep climb up Goatfell, and many more. A tour around the island, whether by car or public bus, allows you to appreciate the diversity of the landscape, truly Scotland on miniature!

Would Recommend: Yes

20th August 2023:

I really enjoyed my stay at the Belvedere guest house. Alan was so friendly and made you feel very welcome and relaxed. His cooked breakfast was excellent. My room was very clean and you could have your room cleaned everyday if you wanted. I was on my own and was made welcome by Alan. The guest house is very friendly and is a very safe and relaxed place for a solo traveller. The lounge area is very relaxing and looks out over the bay which is lovely. I really enjoyed my stay it was so relaxing, comfortable and friendly and I plan to return.

It is very central in Brodick it is a short walk from the ferry and is near the bus station to get the buses to other parts of the island. There are a few pubs and restaurants near by all within walking distance and there is also a large co op shop near by and a pizza, chinese and fish and chip shop takeaway and a local bakery. Brodick castle is near by and there are many walks in the area the main one being climbing up goat fell.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th August 2023:

16th August 2023:

Had a lovely stay at Belvedere . Location is great and only marked it down as it is up a slight hill which may be difficult for anyone walking with mobility issues. Otherwise very central and a fantastic view to look out to over breakfast. Allan was very friendly , welcoming and accommodating and nothing was too much trouble . Space outside for 2 cars in driveway otherwise right outside on street . Room and en suite was very clean and had everything we needed .

Brodick bar is very close by and great for a drink and some pub food. Brodick brassiere looked a bit fancy for us so we ate at the Douglas hotel which had a wide and varied menu with fantastic food . Drove from Brodick to Lamlash which was a short trip and enjoyed the scenery there also . Popped into Arran cheese shop and Arran aromatics on the way to Brodick castle To

Lovely B&B.Alan cooked a wonderful breakfast. Place is convenient for shops, restaurants,golf and the ferry.We had a front room and I'd advise paying that little bit extra for the view

Ideal location for restaurants, especially Brodick Brasserie which although is expensive is well worth a visit if you enjoy high end dining. If not visit their pub next door.

As most B&B in Scotland, the house is old but you have what you'd paied for. Allan (the owner) is everywhere at the same time, always with smile and ready to help.

The north side of the Island is a great place to see wild life. The south and west for walking. Don't go to the museum, it's poor and old. Attention, most shops close at 4pm, and restaurant close very early.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hey I am not smiling with such a low rating review.

22nd July 2023:

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd July 2023:

Good location, close to the ferry terminal. Allan our host was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is huge and tasty portion. Highly recommend the place.

The Holy Isle trip is fantastic, depart from Lamlash bay. You can walk, ride, drive or take the bus 323 or you can even swim if you are brave enough to Lamlash from Brodick.:) The boat ride from Arran to the Holy Isle is 15 minutes and the staff are very friendly and fun who take you over. Great day out with nice hiking challenge and view.

Wonderful location looking down on Brodick Bay. Old building but spotlessly clean and usder-friendly. Although my room was upstairs (as are the majority of B&B rooms, the stairs were easy (I'm a not so numble 77 year old) with helpful carpet underfoot. Superb brekkie and Allan is a congenial, highly service orientated and happily reactive host.

This needs a book .. I have had no disappointments in multiple Arran visits this year. Looka at 322, 323 and 324 bus timetable very carefully and plan your jaunts around the island in line with it. Be sure to spend (at least) an hour at Blackwaterfoot and have a roll with (best in Scotland) sliced sausage in "On a Roll" seated beside the "massive" Harbour??? And, try the superb products from the Artisan Honesty-Box Bakery. AND, yes, good food is important and Arran abounds in it .. The Sandwich Station at Lochranza Pier might just be my Global no !

Lovely guest house very close proximity to the Brodick Ferry Terminal, less than 5 minute walk. Allan is very welcoming and friendly it’s clear he is very knowledgable about the island and is full of recommendations should you wish to explore the island. Comfortable bed and the breakfast is excellent! Highly recommended!

Allan is very accommodating I would advise making contact prior to arriving on the island as you may find your room is already prepared if not he can possibly facilitate a place for your luggage to be left safely to allow you to head out and visit various locations. Eas Mor waterfalls are impressive and if you like golf Lamlash golf course is challenging but the view from the 1st green alone is worth it

The Belvedere was our first stay on our first-ever visit to Arran and was easily reached by the local bus system from the ferry terminal in Brodick. Our room overlooked the outside garden/dining area. The room was small but clean, quiet and comfortable and suited our needs well. The restaurant featured excellent food and the included breakfast offered many choices. We ate dinner there a couple of times and enjoyed a beer in the garden. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

The hotel is situated along the two-lane main road in Lamlash and is right across from the beach and a coastal park. We used the local bus to travel around the island and the hotel was close to bus stops. Views of the Holy Isle are outstanding and we walked the beach many times. The ferry to the Holy Isle is a short walk from the hotel. A small grocery store and several restaurants and shops are nearly.

This is my third stay and the Belvedere is always my first choice. Alan is a fabulous host and does his utmost to ensure his guests have a comfortable and pleasant stay. I stayed upstairs in room 2 this time, a twin room overlooking the sea. The room was large, the bed was comfortable with quality linen and mattress and pillow protectors. A hairdryer was supplied as well as a generous tea tray. The en-suite contained a shower which was perfect. Alan's breakfast's are huge, with lots of choice combinations. Alan also ordered me some haggis from his butcher in Paisley which was fabulous and very reasonably priced.

The Belvedere is quietly situated behind the row of shops and establishments on the sea front. The minor road runs parallel to the coast road but there is no road noise. There is a walk nearby that takes a forest route down into Lamlash where there are more shops, coffee bars and pubs. There is also a small ferry boat that will take day trippers over to Holy Isle (no dogs). I had evening meals at The Douglas (nearer to the ferry terminal) which is very popular and is better to be booked ahead, and Crofters which is along the right hand side of the main road. Brodick Castle is a few miles away, The Cheese Shop, Botannicals, Heritage Museumn all close to each other. There are two distilleries. The whisky distillery at Lochranza is interesting and the red deer and eagles roam around there. Corrie, Sannox, Goat Fell are great areas for walking plus Glen Rosa and Kings Cave. A small island with lots to see and do.

Stayed as a solo traveller in the twin room with sea view. Check in was so simple and allan was very friendly and accommodating. Twin room was clean, comfortable spacious with stunning views. There was tea and coffee, hair dryer and glasses for wine. The TV was good and WiFi great Shower lovely, bedding comfortable and warm. There was even eletric blankets but I didn't need to turn it on. Breakfast was excellent and also catered for gluten free. Had a wonderful stay and if returning to arran would stay here again! Will recommend Thanks again Allan

Great set up minimum fuss when checking in and leaving, our host Alan was great very chatty and friendly. Very central place to stay just off the main road with great choice of breakfast in the morning. There was nothing we needed or wanted, however if there was i an sure Alan would have got it for us. This is where we will stay when we return to Arran.

Just take your time and explore the whole island, there is plenty to see and do.

What a lovely setting for a B&B. Allan was really friendly and filled us in about the island and how wonderful it is to socialise here. The shower was a bit temperamental, but everything else was great. We could use the dining room and lounge as we wanted also incredible views. We had a roo. At the front overlooking the bay, and the ferries coming and going.

Crofters does good food, not cheap, but very good. Takeaway pizzas, and Chinese, the pizzas were excellent. Cafe Little Rock is good. Brodick Castle is interesting. Lots more to see and do, we just ran out of time!

3rd time stay here, and as ever, spotlessly clean and 100% comfortable. Front double room has stunning views, big comfy bed and great size bathroom. Check in is easy (just take key and go) and breakfast was the best i'd had in any B&B with gorgeous personal touches! Very quiet and peaceful here, great for relaxation. Easy walking to everywhere. 10 mins walk from ferry terminal door to door. I traveled as a foot passenger this time and walked everywhere with ease. Allan, and the other guests very friendly, and I felt 100% safe and well at all times. Would not hesitate to stay again & recommend. I left luggage for a few hours and was able to use the lounge to pack up & rest when ready to depart for afternoon ferry. Perfect!

The Ormidale Hotel is a 10 min walk and serves food and drink with no bookings needed, very handy, and a good menu selection. Fishermans Walk lovely to the beach and beyond to avoid the main road. Most business closed on a sunday - best to bear in mind (bars & supermarkets open). Many great walks - its a fantastic island for peace and beautiful surroundings.

We had a comfortable night at the Belvedere,the room was large enough for an overnight stay and had everything you would need. Our room had a beautiful sea view over Brodick Bay and over to the castle. Unfortunately Allan was ill so we never got to try his breakfast, we had the vegetarian breakfast which was cooked by a nice lady who stood in for Allan and was ok.

Brodick Castle is good to see, The wine port is pretty good for food. The Ormidale is good for a beer or two.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th June 2022:

We didn't manage the full "Mine Host" experience" as the owner/manager Allan was confined to quarters with Covid 19 first day. He did manage to find a very able lady, Irene, who filled in brilliantly at short notice. Our needs were seen to without problem.

Local food is very good. The Bistro is expensive but the food and service is brilliant. The Douglas Hotel food and services are faultless. Arran Distillery at Lochranza has a very good & informative tour. What they make is no bad either.

The Belvedere is an amazing place to stay! The guest house is located close to the ferry terminal. Our room was very cosy, felt like a real home and totally clean. A high standard en-suite bathroom did not have any issues, very clean as well. We had a calm, good sleep in a comfortable bed, then woke up for breakfast which has been chosen by us the day before. Food was top quality. Alan, the host, is a friendly, energetic person and we had the impression that we know each other for years! Alan gave us total freedom during the stay, avoiding any awkward official procedures and this is another reason for saying that everyone can feel there like at home. Free car park is an additional benefit. Thank you to all the staff! We will be returning, definitely!

Very friendly host and most helpful with good local knowledge to tap into.The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice and well organised with time of arrival in the room and delivery of hot food on your table.We were parked on the roadside at the front of the property and there was no problems but its probably our fault for not asking about any off road parking up the hosts drive.

Only there for 1 night so info limityed and we ate at a nearby hotel open to non residents which was a 10 minute stroll away and food was good.

So lucky to find this wee gem of a place, great location, very chilled atmosphere, would have loved to have stayed longer, will definitely be returning, very friendly. Allan, the host, goes out of his way to make sure your stay is perfect, and makes an amazing veggie breakfast! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Belvedere is in a lovely elevated position overlooking Brodick bay and Goatfell, within easy walking distance of the ferry and various shops. Allan (the owner) is very friendly and flexible in meeting various requirements for different breakfast times and diets. The rooms are lovely, those at the front of the house have a fantastic view of Goatfell. This is the second time I have stayed here and will definitely be coming back.

If you don’t have a car and are here for a few days or more, I would recommend you get a weekly bus pass (about £20) and you can hop on and off any of the buses that take you all over the island. I walked several sections of the wonderful coast path using the buses to get me out and back. Food wise, if you like seafood, The Shack (mobile food trailer) is fantastic as is Mara in Corrie. The Parlour on the front in Brodick does really good Pizza, eat in and take out.
