Staff very helpful and breakfast great . Brian’s scones not to be missed really delicious 😋.

Would Recommend: Yes

Very nice guest house with great service from all staff. Great breakfasts.Just one little thing - I think you should invest in a neater electrical set-up in room 1.

Great bar meals in the Ormidale Hotel and Douglas Hotel.

Location is great, as were the rooms. The "Sea view" room had spectacular views. Breakfast service was also great. Good start to the day.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd April 2024:

Ideal location in the heart of Brodick with all amenities you need at hand. Excellent friendly welcome and atmosphere from the owner Mitch and Brian and Margo who run the cafe downstairs and provide the breakfast which was delish, we loved the tasty yogurt & granola fruit starters and the coffee , if you don’t ask you don’t get. Our room had plenty of space for our 2 dogs, very comfy bed , large TV and great wee power shower. Highly recommended Guest House.

Fisherman’s Walk takes you along boardwalks and leads you to Brodick beach, great for dog walkers or anyone looking for a nice easy stroll with views of Goatfell. For food, Chinese takeaway and pizza parlour recommended. For beautiful walks, Glen Rosa and forest trail to Lamlash , no transport required if you like a good walk with stunning scenery en route.

We had booked a static mobile but were offered a nearby flat due to the freezing weather. The flat was excellent with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Couldn't be better.

Two good takeaways are close - pizza and chinese.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th December 2023:

Room 2 was extremely spacious, warm and very comfortable with a wonderful outlook. The door lock was a little tricky to turn so needs some attention and unfortunately the shower over the bath did not work for us but the bath itself was excellent with very hot water which we thoroughly enjoyed! Our breakfast was beautfully presented and very tasty. Many thanks to the staff who prepared this.

The Drift Inn in Lamlash was well worth a visit for a meal.

Absolutely cannot beat the location - with a stunning view of the bay and mountains, close to the ferry dock, and between a bookstore and a chocolatier! Very warm welcome. The breakfasts were excellent in the coffee shop.

Visit the chocolate place ... and the Home Farm ... and the Arran Museum, all close by. I had an excellent meal at The Douglas Hotel and hand-crafted pizza at The Parlour. If you don't have a car, as I didn't, the bus system will get your around the island quite easily.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th October 2023:

Our room was very cold on arrival, although it did warm up later in the evening after the owner put the heating on. The point is that the hearing should have been on a few hours before our arrival at 5.30pm. The shower was broke which was not fixed throughout our 4 night stay. This was very unhelpful to my wife who suffers from bone cancer and couldn’t wash her hair in a bath. The furniture is dated and although the room was spacious and has lovely views, the room felt dreary. I’ve stayed at Hunters since 2012, it’s in need of modernisation. In the plus side, the breakfasts are fantastic with excellent service from Brian and his wife. Nothing is too much trouble for them and their dedication to customer service is a credit to their own business, which operates separately from the hotel.

Lamlash is better for services and restaurants. The hotel should modernise its main rooms if it wants to charge premium prices that don’t include breakfast, which is charged separately and paid directly to Brian.

Would Recommend: Yes

5th October 2023:

I was a solo traveller and require crutches for walking. I had a ground floor room with a well equipped bathroom. Breakfasts were excellent and the welcome from Brian and Margan was much appreciated. They created a friendly atmosphere in the breakfast room/cafe. Hunters Guest House is on the sea front and very close to the ferry port. It's easy to park close by but also within walking distance if you're on foot.

Very close by is The Chocolate Factory. Not cheap but fantastic quality. I visited The Wineport for lunch and can highly recommend it. Lunch is served from 12 - 4 pm. You can't book so I recommend going early. I spent time at Brodick Castle - very interesting and they have a lift if mobility is an issue. I spent a delightful afternoon in the Arran Art Gallery at Whiting Bay - I loved it!

Would Recommend: Yes

4th October 2023:

We loved everything about our stay. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable, the view amazing, the facilities great.. Brian is the most attentive of hosts, and Marganne's breakfasts are works of gastronomic beauty. We won't be looking for anywhere else next time we come to Arran.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd October 2023:

Great location. Mitch very friendly. Able to walk everywhere we needed to in the weekend

If you are over for the weekend and walking Goatfell don't bother with taking the car. There is plenty to do in and around Brodick (Castle, Heritage Museum, other walks)

Would Recommend: Yes

29th September 2023:

Such a great stay

Would Recommend: Yes

21st September 2023:

The breakfast was great,The big problem was the shower not working. These things must be checked regularly. The door of the bathroom couldn't close and even if it was possible there was no lock. We were actually asked if we would like to go to another hotel to wash. Brian and his wife who run the cafe/breakfast area were very helpful.

The brambles restaurant in brodick was excellent!

Very friendly and pleasant host. Decor in our room was a bit aged and initially had a problem with the hot water which was resolved very quickly. Other than that we had no issues and would most definately stay here again. Room 2 has stunning views of the sea and Goat Fell.

Breakfast is run by a seperate company on the ground floor but is only open to residents in the morning. This you must try...very tasty and excellent value for money.

Lovely place. Maybe the carpet requires a deep cleaning.

We stayed at the static mobile. It is located up the hill, about 200 m from Hunters Guest House. This is self-catering. The views are perfect and the facilities very good. Excellent shower and complete kitchen. The static mobile is big enough and can accommodate four people in beds and there is also a big sofa. Very spacious and a small terrace at the front. Excellent starting point for climbing up the Goatfell.

Would Recommend: Yes

5th July 2023:

Very comfortable bed and dog friendly too. We had a delicious breakfast which I have to say was one of the best I’ve had. Well done.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Hunters. The room was very spacious with a great view of Brodick bay and Goatfell. A tasty breakfast was provided by Brian in the attached cafe (only open to resident customers during breakfast time), which set us up for the day. Very friendly service. An all-round great place to stay in a central location.

Within walking distance, the Douglas and the Ormidale hotels are good for food - quality and choice. The Brodick Bar brasserie has changed hands and now does very pricey, small portions fine dining.

First time visit to Arran for my friend’s wedding and loved it. Hunters is a short beautiful walk from the Brodick ferry terminal. All staff were lovely and friendly, spacious bedroom with comfy bed and a delicious breakfast. We couldn’t fault a thing and highly recommend the Hunters Guest house.

Our time was taken up with the wedding but we would love to return to explore a bit more.

It is perfect place to stay, if you visit Arran

Would Recommend: Yes

4th April 2023:

Extremely friendly, dog welcoming, clean, bed comfortable. Shower nice and hot. The room was a little cold, the heating came on the first night but not the other two nights for some reason despite the radiators being turned up.

There was an amazing pizza place just across from the coop that did fantastic take away pizzas. I think you could sit down and eat them too but dogs were not allowed indoors here. There were lots of dog friendly places however. We didn’t struggle getting in to pubs/hotels/restaurants/cafes with her There were some amazing sun rises on the beach opposite the B&B There was also a really good sport shop minutes down the road just incase you forget to pack anything (dogs were also allowed in here)

Would Recommend: Yes

The owner of Hunters Guest house could not be more helpful and accommodating. When our ferry was cancelled on the 30th he met us very early the next day and allowed us to check in to our room, allowing us to get a sleep in preparation for our Hogmanay celebrations that night. Check out was also flexible. The location of Hunters guest house could not be more central to the town of Brodick in addition to this we had the most stunning views of the ocean and the Goatfell from our room. We have recommended this accommodation to everyone we have spoken to. It really is a hidden gem.

Plenty of parking outside of the hotel, located close to the ferry port, co op, cafes and a wonderful bakery.

Would Recommend: Yes

Fab host's, amazing breakfast, just great!

Don't go to the lighthouse for food. Crofter's is good for food. The pizza place in brodick is really tasty. North Glen Sannox is a really nice walk up next to the rambling small waterfalls. Kings Cave's walk is really beautiful. Lots of deer to see around lochranza. Seals to see at Kildonan & blackwaterfoot, sometimes the odd one in between brodick & Corrie. Kilmory workshop is always a cool visit for woodwork, make sure the flag is flying! Arran distillery (lochranza) is a nice visit! The tour is good. Inspirations in brodick is a lovely gift shop to visit

I stayed my first 2 nights and last 2 nights on the Island here. Stayed in 2 different rooms. Both were lovely to stay in. Every room is different. Breakfast is very good, the service is very good, thank you so much Brian making sure I had a good start with my breakfast every morning.

There are plenty things to do on the Island. When you stay here do the Glen Rosa circuit walk. It's so beautiful up there.

13th September 2022:

This guest house is lovely. I stayed in Room 1 which is spacious and very well presented with a roomy en-suit. The room has a huge bay window looking over Brodick Bay and Goat Fell. The guest house is in a great position to explore Brodick and well as a good base for wider adventures on Arran. Over breakfast served by the wonderful Brian was fantastic although heart attack inducing, with the black pudding and haggis. There are healthier options, I just didn’t order them.

The Ormadale, Crofters, Arran botanicals, the Lagg and Lochranza Distilleries. Climb Goat Gell and swim in the pools of the Rosa Burn.

Brian was always good to see in the morning and if there was a question Mitchwas also there to help. The room was just perfect with the Couch in the window watching the birds Hunt for food. The room was very spacious, clean, well Equipe and had a wonderful bed.

All is so close by. The Hotel,Crofters, chinese, supermarkets...All just a stonethrow away.

Would Recommend: No

4th September 2022:

We were given a warm welcome by the owner Mitch, who then went on to show us our room and how to order the breakfasts. Our room was large and comfortable, it had the most fantastic view overlooking Brodick Bay, absolutely stunning! At breakfast our host was the lovely Brian, who went way up and beyond to make sure everything was spot on. We were all made to feel really welcome. We will certainly be booking again.

Hunters Hotel is 10 mins from the ferry, you have some great local gift shops, cafes and evening restaurants all with in a few minutes walk. The local bus stops outside the hotel, going right round the island, so easy enough to visit the likes of Blackwaterfoot or Arran distillery. We came across the most beautiful beach bar just up from the Arran Aromatics and cheese shop, it felt like we were on a Mediterranean island. There is live music at one of the local bars, with a great atmosphere. A fabulous island to visit, great food, outstanding scenery, wonderful hospitality. You really need to visit Arran to find out for yourself.

Everyone is very professional and committed. The water tap in the shower should be replaced. Unless you have a very strong fist, it is almost impossible to completely stop the water from leaking. It is also useful for visitors from abroad to explain shortly what kind of litter goes in the blue bin.

Enough buses to discover all the island. Arran cheddar sold at the bakery is simply exquisite.

Mitch and Tess are first class hosts. You are made very welcome and the coupke are very accommodating. Ample room to park your car.

Located near the 30 mile limit just to the left of the road to Lamlash, it is easy to find the B & B. We stayed in room 6, which had a full sized fridge, microwave and dining table.the bathroom had a full sized bath. Mitch informed me he has plans to build decking to the south west face of the building I chose the parfait rather than porridge. It was very tasty. The fried breakfast was excellent.

2nd August 2022:

Service/Staff does not apply as we were in Hunter's Retreat self catering accommodation. However everything was immaculate when we arrived and we were not expecting there to be supplies of anything. In fact there was even fresh milk in the fridge, lots of towels, toilet rolls etc. The only thing the accommodation was out of was tea bags and that's hardly a disaster. Holiday accommodation always used to have a book with all the local amenities and attractions, ferry and bus timetables, etc. But I suppose everybody gets all that on the internet now. Everything was perfect except the location. The view was lovely. But it was difficult to get to for me as I'm not very mobile. My 3-wheeled walking aid was useless on the rough path. Two walking poles was better but I couldn't climb the steps without assistance from one of my family. Only one of them, my granddaughter, was staying there with me, the others were in a motorhome and it was impossible to get it up the last bit of the lane. Actually the steps were fairly bad for anyone, being extremely narrow and on a curve. A handrail would be a huge help. However, I had found it impossible to find B&B in Brodick when we booked (February). I discussed it with Mitch at the time and accepted Hunter's Retreat knowing it was a bit off the beaten track. It was just a bit further off than I had realised. There was nothing wrong with the accommodation, it was me that had the problem. Next time I'll try to book a bit earlier. I would definitely recommend to others but with the proviso that it would be a struggle for anyone who needs assistance walking.

Brodick Bar has gone WAY up in price. Can't say whether it was worth it as we didn't feel like stretching so far. Achrannie Cruise was superb, and reasonably priced. Pity they are not currently running the tapas bar. Ormidale looks a bit rough and ready but food was excellent, service very friendly and price very reasonable. £6 seemed a bit steep for a round of Crazy Golf, but there were plenty of takers besides us so people clearly find it OK. Things to see and do on Arran???? Well there's Arran. What more do you need. Even if I can no longer walk far, I thankfully still have my eyes and Arran as always is a feast from which I return home refreshed in every way.

Hello Mitch. Brian and the lady whose name begins with M were lovely and the breakfasts were great. The bed was comfortable and the towels were very new. But the white face cloth that you provided (which I didn't need because I had my own) was stained. The room was generally clean but attention should be made to an occasional full clean. For example the light shade was thick with dust. The shower could be cleaner in places that I know are difficult to get to. The shower outlet needs a good clean from time to time. The bathroom was very small.It took a long time for hot water to flow. I left the tap running in the basin and was lucky not to cause a flood because there is no overflow.

I enjoyed a very nice meal at the Drift Inn. I would not recommend Ormidale (a bit rough and ready). Brodick Castle is interesting and the gardens are wonderful - including play areas for kids. The museum is worth a visit

Would Recommend: No

We received a warm welcome from Mitch and were shown to a very nice large room where we stayed for three nights. The location was excellent and we were fortunate to have a great cafe operating from within the same building. The couple running this were so friendly with Brian being a superb 'front of house' attending to our needs and giving us lots of good information. We will definitely return.

There are two or three good restaurants nearby and we especially enjoyed The Crofters, taking in some excellent live music (Pauline Vallance). Just a short drive away was a nice family run hotel with a great conservatory restaurant, good for when the sun is shining.

The hotel is located in an excellent position on the waterfront. It is peaceful and quiet. The room was very spacious and tidy, and the bathroom was modern and felt luxurious. It was a very comfortable stay!

The walk to Glen Rosa is a must! And the local bakery (Wooley's) has amazing pasties and pies.

Great location with nice view of the goatfell from the lounge of the mobile home. We're surprised there was everything we need including kettle,microwave and even hair dryer!

The pizza place which is called the parlour is very busy in the evening so better to book or order in advance to avoid disappointment

Would Recommend: Yes

13th July 2022:

Amazing location with beautiful views sun on the balcony from morning to late evening - we were very lucky with the weather. Caravan is comfortable and facilities are good. Beds are comfortable and bedding soft and clean. Good shower - although does drip another use, good water pressure though! Kitchen facilities workable, grill needs a technique to use but works fine. Didn’t use oven or microwave. Fridge good size with freezer compartment. Parking at the caravan fine.

So much to see and do on Arran. The Parlour pizza take away is amazing. Chinese was good too. Co- op at end of beach was well stocked. Definitely need a car to explore the island which is only 12x26 miles. Very hilly on roads in places. there is a bike hire place on shore road, at the sea front but I’m not a cyclist.

Would Recommend: Yes

13th July 2022:

Supremely friendly warm welcome, wonderful views, great brekkie and very reasonable value for money. I would stay again in a heartbeat and recommend Hunters to friends.

get an early booking at Crofters to eat the langustines before they disappear! And there's a lovely walk up the hillside behind the lodge via Mayish to lamlash.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th June 2022:

Tess and Mitch are delightful engaging hosts. Their vision for Allendale B&B and it’s expansion is exciting.

It is best to have some form of transportation to fully appreciate the island. The bus service does cover most destinations; however, can be delayed due to ferry schedule delays. Allow enough time to walk, hike, tour, sample and shop. A weekend is great, a week even better,

Would Recommend: Yes

19th June 2022:

Great breakfast and friendly staff.The only problem was the shower in the bathroom, poor water pressure and the shower head connection was broken so we couldn’t raise the level of the spray. The shower was also lukewarm so not very pleasant.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th June 2022:

Delightful B & B in a prime position overlooking the beautiful Brodick Bay. Spacious room with the best view. Hotel has so much character and nothing is too much trouble for the owners. Excellent breakfast served by the host Brian along with a wee chat. Will most definately return in the not too distant future.

Book rooms 2 or 3 in this hotel for the views! Take a drive around the whole island its worth it to see the beautiful scenery. Walk along fisherman's beach to beach gin bar though it closes at 7pm! Relax and recharge your batteries in this little piece of heaven.

As I changed booking to 3 nights at the last minute, was helpfully given a room at Allendale House in Brodick so could spend all 3 nights in one room. The guest house is very welcoming, clean and comfortable. Breakfasts are excellent. Special thanks to Mitch for driving me to and from A & E at Lamlash late in the evening following a fall. I had a very happy stay at Allendale House. I highly recommend Allendale House and also Hunters Guest House, where I have stayed for previous Folk Festivals.

Highly recommend Hunters Coffee Shop within Hunters Guest House. The Coffee Shop offers a wide range of teas, coffees and soft drinks and delicious home baking as well as home made soup, hot and cold filled rolls and a number of other hot items, including paninis and the option of chips. It's well worth having a look at the menu to see the full range on offer. Service is excellent and the surroundings very clean, pleasant and relaxing. Location on the main street in Brodick is very convenient.

Would Recommend: Yes

Tess and and Mitch you have been wonderful hosts! We felt so much at home at Allandale. Many thanks for all the patience and understanding to our little problems. I'd love to come back with another group!

We enjoyed our two night stay in the static caravan. It was spacious and well-located. Unfortunately the sandy car parking area made it impossible to keep sand out of the caravan and car and get muddy shoes. There were no tea towels or kitchen roll in the kitchen.

We got food from Shanghai chinese takeaway and The Parlour pizza takeaway at the bottom of the road - both were excellent. Brodick has plenty of shops, places to eat and tourist shops. We especially loved the Arran Active outdoor shop. Overall it was a good location for exploring the island and convenient for to the ferry terminal.

We had a great break at Hunters Guest House. Everyone was really helpful and friendly, and we felt very comfortable and relaxed. All the usual facilities were provided, and we had a very comfortable bed, and a fantastic sea view from our window over Brodick Bay. Breakfast was excellent, and our host could not do enough for us, and the other guests. A really nice place to spend a few days.

This is an ideal base from which to explore the Isle of Arran, or just to relax and take in the lovely scenery.

Location spot on. Handy having cafe on site but means there was always a cooking smell in our room which was pretty strong at times.

The room was cold. Probably due to the weather being cold and windy for the end of May.

We only stayed two nights, but visited Lagg Distillery, some walked up Goat Fell and others went to Brodick Castle. Great baking at Janie’s near Arran Aromatics, and a meal with varied menu and friendly staff at Wineport, Cladach. Heritage Museum too. So much to see around the island but couldn’t make it this time.

Absolutely fantastic hosting, especially at breakfast, the coffee shop owner could not be any more accommodating and friendly. The breakfast was superb! Stunning views overlooking the waters and Goatfell, we would 100% stay here again in the large bay window room. It was peaceful, the bed was comfortable and lovely bathroom. Hidden gem of a guesthouse, the best we have stayed in! Thank you very much for our welcoming and enjoyable stay!

The Drift Inn - lovely food and beautiful views if you sit outside overlooking holy island. Kings Caves - lovely forest/coast walk Goatfell - tough but enjoyable hike

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd May 2022:

Very friendly and helpful owners. Wifi connection is iffy (as it is elsewhere on the island!) but the owners were improving it whilst we were there. Breakfasts are good and plentiful. The guest house is located within walking distance of the ferry and town centre.

Restaurants get booked up and some are only open during the weekend. Meals at the hotels are surprisingly good. For walkers, the Corbetts are wonderful.

We had a lovely stay at Hunter’s. Excellent central location, beautiful view from room 1. Very comfortable beds and what looked to be a very new and immaculately clean carpet, heated towel rails, hot shower. Everything really clean. Breakfast was excellent- really good value for money, delicious food and very friendly and helpful service.

Lots to do in the surrounding area in Brodick but very easy to get up the road to Lochranza or down to Lamlash or along the string road to the other side of the island. Would definitely come back to hunter’s again.

Very efficiently run B&B. Friendly helpful staff. Excellent breakfast with a good choice of breakfast items which included fresh mushrooms and tomatoes. Top coffee from an espresso machine. Lovely view from the breakfast room which served as a local cafe after 10 am Spotlessly clean cosy comfortable and very quiet room. I was travelling solo and had a small double room which was perfect for one. The corner electric power shower was rather small and preset to an eco setting which restricted the water flow and temperature. But given the cost of electricity I would do the same.

We spent 2 hights at Hunters Guest House . Our room was spacious with an amazing Sea view . The bathroom including shower was modern and tastefully decorated. Mitch the owner and Brian , who provide the Breakfast service , were friendly, informative and couldn’t have done any more for us . The breakfast was outstanding , really quality products, tasty , plentiful and good value . Brian insisted on more Coffee / Tea and toast . The Guest House is dog friendly which is perfect for all the walks on the Island. We would definitely recommend a stay at Hunters and intend to return . Hopefully soon .

We are at the Brodick Bar and Brasserie and Crofters . Both great food. The Kings Cave walk is a must .Takes about 2 hours , the best walk on Arran ! Drive around the North of the Island for a great chance to see lots of seals and beautiful villages and ever changing scenery from Costal lowlands to Highlands .

Location is excellent. Very central. Handy having the ground floor room but really suitable for early risers given the necessary early morning breakfast prep and activity either side of the room. Staff were welcoming and helpful throughout. A chair of some description would be useful in the room plus a larger tv - quite difficult to see the small one. The staff did their utmost to try and resolve the issue with the tv not changing channel.

Very friendly. Beautiful location. Great links to busses/transport. Wonderful and generous breakfasts. Comfortable and spacious room with plenty of storage.

We were lucky to find this room when a provisional booking we had was withdrawn without deadline given while I was still sorting out ferries. It was one of Arran's busiest weekends each year. Smallish double (Room 3)with view of only neighbours' back gardens but adequate size and very clean. We're used to a larger shower enclosure but it worked fine and there is plenty of hot water. Very helpful owner and good coffee shop downstairs with nice staff who do a great breakfast for a reasonable price.

Very much enjoyed dinners in both the Brodick Bar & Brasserie and Crofters. Walking distance to Heritage Museum - very interesting. Also close to ferry terminal. Parking was on street and not a problem.

Breakfast starter of fruit and yoghurt lovely. Coffee fresh and strong. Asked for poached egg instead of fried and Brian was very accommodating. Brian and Margaret extremely friendly and helpful with suggestions as to trips and eating places. Asked for heating to be increased and this happened immediately.

Crofters restaurant very near to guest house. Food good but expensive for portion size. Ormidale hotel big portions in a bar. Douglas hotel fish and chips very good. King's cave great walk but strong walking boots is recommended. Standing stones interesting but quite a long walk.
