Ross made us very welcome on our 3 night family stay. The location was ideal for exploring Arran and walking to local amenities in Brodick. The ensuite family room was just right for us and our 13yr old. The continental breakfast and porridge was lovely and plenty to take some away with us for a snack on our walks before returning in the afternoon for a treat of home made cakes in the lounge. The drying room came in very handy after some heavy rain.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th October 2021:

Very helpful, room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was lovely. Liked the decor and ‘vibe’ of the house, felt welcoming.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st October 2021:

Five stars is not enough for this fantastic guest house. Nothing is too much trouble for Ross and Hannah. Me and my friends will definitely be back to the Glenartney

Would Recommend: Yes

20th October 2021:

Glenartyis an ideal base for a relaxed comfortable stay. We found the house to be stylish in an unpretentious way with due care to social distancing & safety. Breakfast in a box was a refreshing alternative to the usual cooked fare: we enjoyed the homemade granola & stewed fruit combo & homebaking in afternoon. Ross was very helpful in finding us walks. The shower could have been more powerful bug that was probably a water pressure issue.The only negative was the lack of lighting in the street outside which made the approach at night difficult & uninviting.

Bring a,torch! Crofters is a good eating place nearby.

Would Recommend: Yes

Ross and Hannah are perfect hosts, their home at Glenartney is a lovely place to stay in Brodick, Isle of Arran. The novel homemade breakfast box is an absolute treat.

thank you for looking after us so well and for accommodating our early breakfast needs. We really enjoyed staying with you. The drying room was very much a welcome added bonus!!

Dinners at the Brodick Brasserie and Douglas Hotel were excellent!

Would Recommend: Yes

4th October 2021:

Very friendly, welcoming, helpful. Nothing was too much trouble Lots of lovely little touches such as homemade cake in the afternoon Hotel was pristine and beautifully decorated. Continental breakfast trays were absolutely delicious, full of homemade produce Bathroom was a touch on the small side, however was spotless and had lovely white fluffy towels and nice toiletries

Great view from the hotel Close to ammenities, easy walking to good restaurants, cafes and the ferry terminal Brodick castle just a short drive away

The Glenartney was superb from start to finish. yhe hosts were brilliant covering Covid advice...ybe room & area was perfect & not forgetting the Continental breakfast amazing & the Ginger Cake left in the hall for a a coffee in your room was a lovely touch.i would totally recommend 1st class..thanks again Willie & Orla

Great spot for hikers & walkers Goatfell path very near here.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th September 2021:

Great stay. Excellent location and cleanliness top class. Only downside was shower wasn't great but would definitely stay again and recommend to others!

Would Recommend: Yes

28th September 2021:

This was our favourite accommodation of a multiple stop holiday. As well as clean and stylishly decorated room and communal areas, there were little extras that made it stand out - the home made cake wrapped in parchment paper for one, cute bottles of water ready in the fridge another. The delicious breakfast was stylishly presented and plentiful. The owners were friendly and interested.

Brodick brasserie is very close and whilst not cheap, served delicious food. The castle is quite a walk away, we drove there. We also liked Brambles restaurant which is walking distance. You can easily walk to the seafront and shops from here. The ferry port is just at the other end of the seafront so only a few minutes drive.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th September 2021:

Beautifully prented Guest House. Staff very friendly and helpful. Covid safe environment. Continental breakfast very well thought out and delicious and more than adequate for the heartiest appetite!

Brodick Castle and grounds worth visit but at least basic mobility required. Heritage museum and cafe good. Hooked and Cooked chip shop good. Arran Fine Foods (Lamlash) factory shop great offers.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th September 2021:

Breakfast for me was the best ever. I a not a "full Scottish/English" person so the breakfast box with Yoghurts, fruits, granola. Eggs, ham, cheese etc was amazing. All homemade bread, jams, pots of fruit etc. Rooms very comfortable. Host excellent. Even homemade cakes/biscuits when returning at the end of the day.

The B&B is on a road that runs parallel to the sea front road and only 5 mins walk downhill to the seafront. Plenty of parking space but best to reverse in if you park on the drive. Restaurants limited due to Covid-19 but we ate at the Ormidale which was very reasonably priced, good portion sizes of pub grub and no need to book. Good Fisherman's Walk to take you to Brodick Castle which is definitely worth a visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st September 2021:

This is the third time we have stayed at the Glenartney. Always a friendly and unrushed welcome. The bedrooms, lounges and dining room were all spotless and the breakfast tray, which is being served just now due to COVID restrictions, was delicious and plentiful. We wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else when in Brodick.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st September 2021:

A really top-notch place to stay. Beautifully upgraded bedrooms and public rooms. Wonderful to have homemade cake on arrival. We were also really grateful for the opportunity to charge our bike and electric car. Amazing breakfast which so much care had been put in to. Thanks for all your hard work which gave us such a great stay. Will definitely be recommending Glenartney to others

Would Recommend: Yes

21st September 2021:

Ross and Hannah obviously put a lot of thought into looking after their guests. The continental breakfast was delicious with special touches like the homemade stewed fruits. Covid regulations were well implemented and we felt very safe and secure. We enjoyed sitting in the comfortable lounge with the lovely views.

Wooleys Bakery is the place to go for great pies, filled rolls and cakes to takeaway for picnics. Arran is a beautiful place for walking and golfing. I'd also recommend a ferry trip from Lamlash to Holy Isle. Once there you can take a gentle walk along the shore or the more arduous route up across Mullach Beag (that's as far as we got before starting back down!) and Mullach Mor.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th September 2021:

Had a lovely time. Very friendly and organised hosts. Made us very welcome. Excellent Continental breakfast.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th September 2021:

Great views from our room Excellent space to sit ... loved the afternoon cake Fantastic breakfast... delicious, homemade, A real find

Go to eat at the Ormidale ... cycle round the island Check out the seals and castles Get the ferry from Lochranza Walk up goat fell And so much more we didn’t get to do this time

Would Recommend: Yes

17th September 2021:

I was made to feel very welcome by both Hannah and Ross when arriving at Glenartney. With it being my first time on Arran, they provided plenty of suggestions for things to do on the island during my stay. They were both happy to help with any of my needs and made my visit really enjoyable.

I spent 4 days on Arran and found this gave me enough time to see some of its many sights, with plenty left to save for another visit! If you're without a car there are some good walks in Brodick that are in and around the Castle and Glen Rosa area which I'd recommend, after a visit to the Castle. There is a bike hire shop close to Glenartney which came in really handy for getting around without having to use my car. I hired an e-bike and cycled to Whiting Bay for the day to visit Glenashdale Falls. I'd definitely recommend a trip to the Lochranza Distillery as well, on the north of Arran, with another castle a short distance away. In Brodick there are some lovely places to eat. I was travelling alone so was lucky in that I didn't need to book a table in most places but there are a few where booking is advised. I visited The Parlour and Hunter's coffee shop on a few occasions. Along with The Ormidale and Brodick Bar and Brasserie. In Whiting Bay I visited The Coffee Pot. Everyone that I spoke with during my stay, at the various places I visited, was warm and friendly and really happy to help with anything I needed.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th September 2021:

Very pleasant stay again. One improvement would be a hold bar in the shower. As you get older it it feels more secure if there is something you can hold.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th September 2021:

The Glenartney is a great place. The standard of accommodation is very high. Great location and facilities with everything you could need.

Many great places to eat in Brodick. The Douglas is lovely. The parlour for pizza and ice cream is fantastic but they have limited seating so be prepared for a small wait. The Mara Fish bar and Deli in Corrie for seafood is great… order the day before for collection. A trip to Brodick Castle and gardens are well worth a visit. Keep an eye out for the craft centres and shops along the road to Corrie.

Would Recommend: Yes

14th September 2021:

Room was very small.... nowhere to put suitcases which ate into the space. But I did love the overall vibe. The downstairs space doesnt have a tv so you may want to update your online profile. It was also too cold to sit down there and have wine / snacks.

Would Recommend: Yes

13th September 2021:

Everything was great, the room had everything needed, it was comfortable nice clean and modern. Breakfast was very thoughtful and delicious. Hosts are very friendly and accessible, knowing we could text any questions put us at ease. Great value for money!!

We ate at the Douglas hotel, which was nice but slightly over priced in comparison to the cost and quality else where. Do eat at the crofters it was delicious + live music! We also are at Mara Fish Bar in Corrie which was really nice, reserve your food online before hand as they sell out. Also found the shore in whiting bay a great cafe straight on the beach, as well as botanical bar in Brodick. We did a whisky tasting in Lochranza which was fantastic, and two short walks - kings caves & giants graves + waterfall circular. Views all round were beautiful and easy to navigate.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th September 2021:

Lovely stay at Glenartney and we really appreciated the personal touches such as homemade produce and cake. Public areas were lovely and staff very welcoming and friendly friendly. Everywhere was very clean and Covid secure and we felt quite safe. Room was spotless and beds very comfortable but if l had to be picky l would say the bathroom was very small and also there was no mirror to do my hair with near a socket for the hairdryer.

We ate at the Brodick Bistro, where the food was good but very expensive for very small portions and not much social distancing in place. We ate at Brambles in Auchrannie the second night and had a lovely dinner for half the price, and a table well distanced from others. Brodick Castle Gardens were a delight, Arran Distillery worth a visit and lots of lovely walks and drives. We loved the peace of Lamlash in particular.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th September 2021:

Recommend the Crofters and Brasserie restaurants Hire e bikes. Great way to see Arran.

Would Recommend: Yes

6th September 2021:

The rooms were immaculate and cosy. Plenty tea and coffee etc and the home baking was an extra bonus. Breakfast was a delight. The only downfall was the showers. They are nowhere near powerful enough and if you want to use it handheld, the water does not flow properly and comes out as a trickle.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd September 2021:

We had a great time. The service was brilliant and the breakfast box delicious.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th August 2021:

I was slightly apprehensive about the impact covid pandemic could have on our stay but this was quickly removed with the excellent protection measures introduced by Ross & Hannah combined with the content of the breakfast box which greatly helped negate not having a cooked breakfast.

I would recommend Cruize bar at the Auchrannie for an evening meal as they provide good quality food without the rip-off prices of a number of other local restaurants.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th August 2021:

Friendly host and breakfast and home baking were excellent.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th August 2021:

The Glenartney is quite simply superb,Ross and Hannah are wonderful hosts,food and accommodation first class ,love the breakfast box addition brought in last year, beautiful fresh produce , complete with Hannah's home made preserves absolutely delicious and beautifully thought out and presented .We wouldn't stay anywhere else on Arran and very much look forward to our breaks in this lovely house.

Very central , great location for all the amenities of Brodick and links to other parts of the island .

Would Recommend: Yes

29th August 2021:

Fantastic place. very clean, Very comfortable, Super friendly staff and extremely tasty and plentiful breakfast. Nothing to improve on. Huge thanks for a very comfortable stay.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th August 2021:

I would have preferred a cooked breakfast but this was not an option. The electric shower didn't give a decent spray when the control was increased to a comfortable temperature.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th August 2021:

very nice friendly hosts the homemade cakes were a very nice touch this is my second time here and would highly recomend

the bus tour around the island is a must

Would Recommend: Yes

21st August 2021:

Beautiful Guest House, clean and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was the best I have ever had, stunning. Our only gripe was the cozy double was just too small for my husband and I. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay in it as a single or to stay in a larger room. Thank you for taking care of us so well. K

Lovely premises. Great breakfast. Very helpful and pleasant owners. Could do with better wifi connection, other than that, a perfect stay.

Good places to eat- Douglas hotel in Brodick, and Lamlash Bay Hotel in Lamlash.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th August 2021:

Friendly staff Great breakfast

Would Recommend: Yes

18th August 2021:

Glenartney was nothing short of outstanding. The rooms are cosy, clean and adorable and the staff made us feel at home. The beds and pillows were unbelievably comfy and the shower was fantastic. the breakfast was sooo yummy, A little tray with bits and bobs including HOMEMADE granola ! A really balanced breakfast perfect for an activity filled day and in our case climbing goatfell. They went above and beyond to make it feel like a home away from home, there were 2 lounges that you could use whenever you wanted and in the afternoon they left out home baking that you help yourself to which I think is just the cutest thing in the world. And to top it all off it’s in the best location ! I couldn’t recommend this place enough and I will definitely be returning on my future visits to Arran.

I would definitely recommend taking a car if you can as it gives you more flexibility to explore the island. Walks: glenrosa circuit, glenlashdale circular walk, lamlash to whiting bay board walk Activities: Arran botanical drinks (gin tasting), Brodick castle, kings cave and climbing goatfell Places to eat: Janies, the wine port, cruize restaurant

Would Recommend: Yes

18th August 2021:

Friendly inviting hosts,clean comfortable rooms, continental breakfast was lovely with a wide variety of choice. All home baking was exceptional, perfectly located for all amenities. Will definitely book again when visiting Aaron.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th August 2021:

Second time staying at Glenartney and second stay home vacation, repeat what I have said on previous reviews it’s a home that is spotless clean , that just happens to be a very good hotel . We loved the breakfast with all the homemade touches, the home baking was a lovely touch and both of us were putting money into the Arran mountain rescue box as a thank you . Ross fountain of knowledge on walks within the Arran area.

Drift inn and Pier head tavern both in Lamlash are very good , also the Brodick bar and bistro is just down the road from the Glenartney.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th August 2021:

Had a lovely couple of days stay at Glenartney. Our hosts were fantastic nothing was a problem for them. Breakfast was lovely with lot’s of homemade goodies. The decor was nice very welcoming clean and all Covid measures in place. We will certainly be back.

As frequent visitors to the beautiful Isle of Arran. Such a great place to explore with stunning walks and beautiful scenery. Bars and restaurants are good would recommend going to The Douglas, Brodick bar excellent food .

Would Recommend: Yes

17th August 2021:

Cannot fault Glenartney. We have stayed several times and would not stay anywhere else.

Brodick Bar and Douglas Hotel great for eating out.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th August 2021:

We didn't understand, and it was never explained, how a cooked breakfast would have increased Covid risk, or how any additional contact would be necessary.

Be prepared to enjoy yourself whatever the weather. The Brodick Brasserie has a fanatic kitchen and staff. The chippy at the port keeps it real.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th August 2021:

Wonderful welcome from Hannah on arrival and attentive service from Ross throughout our stay. We had honeymooned here 50years ago and a bottle of bubbly was waiting in our room to celebrate our return. Ross was interested to hear about our stay then and see the original invoice we had. Continental Breakfast presented in jars on a wooden tray was delicious, homemade granola, fresh berries, poached fruits, ham, cheese and eggs. Homemade cake was welcome in the afternoon. The room was spotlessly clean with a view of Goatfell. Two sitting rooms were comfy and tastefully decorated.

The geology is all important. Lochranza Distillery tours, the Isle of Arran gin company, Arran Arromatics and the Coffee shop were highlights. Recommend Crofters bistro in Brodick.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th August 2021:

We had a wonderful stay with you. The rooms were clean, the breakfast were very enjoyable and lasted us util tea time. It was also very quiet we did not hear other guests even though you were full. As we were travelling with friends we loved the guest lounge so we could meet in the evening for a cup of tea and chat. We will be back

Enjoy the countryside. Look out for the wildlife. Bring your walking boots and embrace the outdoors.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th August 2021:

We had a great stay. Only, the only thing we mentioned could have been improved was the strength of the shower. Ross underselling bread-making talent! Tell people you've made that bread! The quality of the breakfast was superb and set us up for the day. The lovely touches such as cake and setting our place for pizza one evening, lovely. We wouldn't hesitate in staying again.

Mara fish bar was recommended, but we ran out of time to eat there. The Parlour pizzas are tasty and good value. Crofters doing well on social media and some seem to think it's 'best meal' they've had, but that may depend on knowledge of food? Nice place for drink. Really friendly staff if a tad inexperienced still. Food was fresh and simple, but very, very expensive for what's being served. Fully supportive of what they seem to be heading for ethos wise, but prices are really high end and food not yet in that league, so that would put us off visiting again. PHT in Lamlash decent pub grub. Wine Port some lovely little plates and essential stop for that pint following a challenging walk up Goat Fell

Would Recommend: Yes

5th August 2021:

Hannah and Ross delivered a seamless service from beginning to end. It was a pleasure dealing with them. Glenartney is ideally located with lots of nearby amenities. The house is immaculate with welcoming decor and attention to detail. Breakfast was a real treat and homemade baking left behind reception was a lovely touch. Thank you for making our stay so special.

Book restaurants in advance. A tour with Alex from Mogabout is a must whilst on the island.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th August 2021:

Beautiful guest house - breakfast was great and lovely hosts - thank you! The home made cake was a lovely and hugely appreciated treat!

Book ahead for places to eat. There’s a communal fridge at the guest house but no communal cooking facilities so it can be difficult to eat on an evening if local restaurants are fully booked.

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd August 2021:

Another most enjoyable two night stay in one of the cosy double rooms. Breakfast not the usual cooked, which is a high point of our visits, but the tray of breakfast fare was exceptionally good. Hosts are most welcoming and we look forward to returning in the future.

Parking is limited at this property but there is space available on the road adjacent. Lots of lovely walks and scenery is breathtaking on this beautiful island.

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd August 2021:

Ross and Hannah provide a standard of service, facilities and support that other b&b/hoteliers should try and emulate. We have repeatedly returned to the Glenartney as it encapsulates everything good about holidaying on Arran. Heading home we always feel refreshed and rejuvenated.

We cycled, hillwalked and dined at night. Of the cafe/restaurants we used we found the Douglas hotel to be the best option for reasonable food, be it, prices are a bit high. The Crofters, newly reopened under new management, well worth supporting also.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st August 2021:

Fantastic B&B

Would Recommend: Yes

1st August 2021:

Fantastic family run guest house, very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. They were very well informed about the island and were able to recommend options. The breakfast was continental but full of home made fresh produce to include the bread & museli. We Would highly recommend Glenartney.

Would Recommend: Yes

31st July 2021:

This is the second time we have stayed here and will be our first choice when visit Arran again. Ross and Hannah are excellent hosts and make you feel very welcome.The hotel is spotlessly clean and the breakfast is made with good quality local produce. No hesitation in recommending The Glenartney.

The Crofters for evening meal and beer garden.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th July 2021:

Homely, friendly and helpful. Easy to access by car or a 10 min walk from the ferry. We will be back it’s lovely.

Arran is wonderful with lots to do and see outdoor activities great places to eat and drink all round the island.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th July 2021:

What a great bed and breakfast, rooms excellent, with nice Arran aromatic products Breakfast, what a treat, loads of nice fresh food, a continental menu. Not forgetting cake for afternoon treat.

Check local attractions as all not opened. All meals we had were excellent.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th July 2021:

Fantastic set up, friendly staff and an amazing view of Goatfell from our room each morning. Rooms are spotless and very comfortable, with two nice large lounges to spend some time in as well. Breakfast was delicious too and the home-made touches made our stay a brilliant few days on the island. We will definitely be back!

20th July 2021:

I have stayed in lots of hotels/guest houses and this is the cleanest I have ever stayed in. Absolutely spotless. Well done. Lovely room, great views, lovely breakfast. Nice communal rooms to chill out in. Fab.

Castle grounds are lovely, very pretty and lots to see. We drove all around the Island with stop offs. It was lovely.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th July 2021:

Wonderful place to stay, immaculately clean, lovely decor throughout. We loved the breakfast boxes and the porridge. We also enjoyed using the lounges as we were with other family members. Our room was small but perfectly manageable and the gorgeous view more than made up for it! An extra touch is the lovely afternoon cake, individually wrapped to help yourself to. Highly recommend.

Brodick Brasserie and the fish and chip shop- both lovely. Obviously the drive around the island is stunning- we did a figure of 8 so we went through the middle as well. Loved it all.

Would Recommend: Yes

Lovely clean room with friendly staff and excellent breakfast. Thank you Hannah for fitting us in at such short notice - very much appreciated.

Would Recommend: Yes

13th July 2021:

This is an excellent B&B. Hannah and Ross are excellent hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them. The breakfast was wonderful and our room was very comfortable. We would always make this our 'first choice' place to stay on Arran.

At the time of writing (July 2021) it was becoming more difficult to find somewhere to eat in the evening because places were closing due to staff having to isolate. Plan to order take away meals and Hannah and Ross will set a table for you to eat them and a fridge for you to store drinks plus any snacks you buy to take out the next day with you.

Would Recommend: Yes

13th July 2021:

Would Recommend: Yes

11th July 2021:

Great place to stay, with superb views of the mountains and bay. Also, quiet, even though only a few minutes walk to the shorefront. Breakfast was a highlight of each day, fresh, homemade food which was delicious and set us up for each day. Best continental breakfast we have ever had! Hosts were really welcoming and good at sharing info and showing an interest in guests. The tray of home baking available each day was a really generous touch. Thanks. We will be back!

Turn left at the end of the driveway and there is a good, 3 mile walk through the woods to Lamlash.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th July 2021:

Ross and Hannah were great. Lovely B&B right in the centre of Brodick, meeting all your needs, even during these difficult covid times. Full Covid safety measures in place but didn't feel restrictive on our holiday. The continental breakfast box was lovely and not your typical continental breakfast, full of fresh and homemade ingredients, and to come back at the end of an active day to home baking left out was lovely 😀. Would definatley recommend and go back

Would Recommend: Yes

10th July 2021:

We stayed at the Glenartney for a couple of nights and I cannot fault any part of the experience. The staff were very welcoming and delivered excellent service. The room was clean and comfortable and had amazing views. The breakfast service was brilliant and we really enjoyed the high quality of this both mornings. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others visiting Arran.

The location is was very central for us during our stay. During our stay we visited the Douglas Hotel Bar and Bistro for dinner and drinks. This was only a 10 minute walk from the Glenartney and was easy to book online. We cloned Goatfell during our stay which was about a 20 minute walk to the beginning of the trail.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th July 2021:

Had a fab stay, everything was very clean and the room was lovely. Breakfast was amazing, it really set you up for the day. The home baking in the afternoon was a lovely touch. The location was great and the views were great too. Thank you.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Within walking distance to some lovely restaurants and scenic walks. The staff were very friendly, would definitely recommend.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st June 2021:

The best guest house we have stayed in so far. The room was spotless, bed super comfy, great location. Loved the bench outside in the garden. Breakfast was amazing, fresh/home-made produce. Also great host, very friendly. We can't recommend this place enough. We will definitely be back. Thank you very much:-)

We struggled a bit with local restaurants with some of them being still closed, the restaurants at the resort were only accommodating residents. I would highly recommend booking a restaurant well in advance as I left it until the last minute and then couldn't book anything. Arran is amazing, with lots of walks, lovely beaches and waterfalls. We were a bit disappointed with the cycling paths as most of them are steep, rocky, narrow paths not suitable for children so we won't be taking bikes next time.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st June 2021:

Very friendly and clean with Hannah and Ross being very accommodating. We have used the Glenartney for several years as our base when we cycle round the island. A very short walk to the Broddick Brasserie and Bar.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st June 2021:

Lovely guest house in Brodick, friendly hosts, great breakfast and quick to fix a minor issue in the bathroom. Comfy bed and clean room

Good location for climbing Goatfell. We had a great kayaking trip with Otters Tail

Would Recommend: Yes

20th June 2021:

Room had everything needed with fine views of the sea and Goat Fell. Great location - quiet but close to bars, restaurants, and shops in Brodick, and 10-15 minutes walk from the ferry terminal if crossing on foot. Ross was a great host, helpful and offering just the right amount of attention. Glenartney was we'll adapted to Covid and felt very safe. Breakfasts were excellent despite not being able to offer a full Scottish at this time.

Arran has a fantastic choice of walking for all levels and Brodick is a good base. Its neighbour Lamlash is also worth a visit. Eating out can be expensive but for really good quality and value try the Mara Fish Bar at Corrie.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th June 2021:

Brilliant stay, Hannah and Ross were extremely friendly and welcoming. We had a great stay and we will definitely be back

Loved my stay at the Glenartney, amazing view from my bedroom, very clean, excellent breakfast and super efficient and friendly service. The guest house looked like it had all been recently refurbished. Very convenient for ferry, main shops, Goatfell, the castle, restaurants etc. Can't recommend highly enough.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th June 2021:

The house was beautifully furnished and a pleasure to spend time in. The breakfast was delicious and we loved the touches of home baking and the sitting room space. Great location, Ross was really welcoming and accommodating, such as letting us leaving our bags after we checked our. No complaints at all and thought I git excellent value for money.

The food and service at the Brodick brasserie, just 3 mins away from the b&b, is fantastic. A really fine dining experience but in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th June 2021:

Spent three nights with my partner whilst working on the island thoroughly enjoyed our spare. Didn't have a cooked breakfast but I thoroughly enjoyed the continental breakfast and beautiful bowl of porridge definitely felt better for it during the day rather than feeling bloated I'm afraid breakfast

Would Recommend: Yes

10th June 2021:

An excellent and well-run guest house in which we have stayed twice and would have no hesitation in visiting again. The continental breakfast is quite ingenious and the beds are superbly comfortable.

Forget the big hotels! - the best dinner in Brodick is to be found in the Brodick Bar, just 300 yards down the hill. An unprepossessing frontage, but a great little restaurant - it's a case of not judging a book by its cover.

Would Recommend: Yes

Fantastic couple of nights. Whole set up is excellent. Breakfast was superb. Attention to detail was obvious. Only tiny point, the towels couldn’t really dry in Rosa as only place to hang were hooks on door.

Sandwich shack at Lochranza was fantastic. Douglas hotel and Brodick bistro both great fresh food and excellent service.

Would Recommend: Yes

One of the nicest places to stay on Arran and I have strayed in many. Looked after us so well under difficult circumstances. Thank you for everything and your beautiful breakfasts Christine Liz and Margaret

Would Recommend: Yes

5th June 2021:

Thank you for a great stay - we have added comments to Trip Advisor but again the way in which you had still a personal touch despite also having to cope with the Covid-19 requirements was much appreciated. Rooms were immaculate and great size - we also loved the decor and personal touches in way the breakfast was served, really lovely touches. We hope to return at some point! Wishing you a more "normal" year ahead.

We used Otter's Tail for kayaking - chap Andrew who owns it was great - very personable and knowledgeable. We would certainly recommend and we were all novices. We had not as a family done a longer walk together and walked Glen Rosa - thoroughly recommend it. as you will know it is lovely but for those not knowing Arran - its got the combination of great beginner/intermediary walk with stunning, dramatic views you won't forget! Restaurants we went to: - cafe on the old pier at Lamlash: great baking and sandwiches. -Brodick bar and grill (probably was my favourite) for both service and food. - Cruise at Auchrannie: again good food, nice staff and very relaxed and family friendly in the restaurant - Douglas hotel, all ok just ensure as it is popular and they consider themselves "popular" that you ensure what you book is what you get. - Parlour: ice cream, delicious! - Arran Botanicals: whether you like gin or not , lovely bar area on the beach with great cocktails and mocktails -Corrie Hotel : again lovely staff and good food: such a lovely beer garden looking over the water.

Would Recommend: Yes

5th June 2021:

Welcoming and friendly staff, excellent breakfast. Location is perfect. Great view from the room we had overlooking Brodick Bay.

Hikes around Goatfell, Cir Mhor etc. We didn't manage to during this stay but would have liked to walk Glenrosa. Worth taking car or hiring on arrival, a trip around the whole island is good for visiting other attractions like the Kings Caves, Machrie standing stones. Doesn't take long to circumnavigate. Next time I return will bring my golf clubs too, lots of nice courses across the island. Some really nice wildlife too

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd June 2021:

Glenartney was a beautiful B&B in a perfect location for travelling around Arran. The owners are a lovely couple who were very accomodating and welcoming during our stay. Breakfast was a great way to start the day, and we were able to come and go from the B&B whenever we pleased.

Road signs display directions towards the Glenartney show you where to go - very convenient if you tend to get lost, or even if you don't want to bother with Google maps. Lots of lovely restaurants and pubs nearby, with Brodick Brasserie just round the corner from Glenartney. Short walk to Goatfell ascent - prepare for some sore legs on the way home though!

Would Recommend: Yes

31st May 2021:

Even with the Covid restrictions the Glenartney team still made everyone feel relaxed and welcome. The tray breakfast was exceptional even though not the normal fry-up Rooms well appointed and clean. Comfy bed and great wee en-suite.

Try the Brodick Golf Club for a good meal, especially if you can't get booked into any of the other eateries (they tend to get fully booked.)

Very pleasant small hotel, and the hosts were really nice and helpful. Excellent continental breakfast.

27th May 2021:

Everything was great. Bed was comfy and wifi meant we could download our usual newspaper. Breakfast deserves special mention. As well as the usual array of fresh fruit and cereal on the sideboard, a greatly enhanced continental breakfast was served at the table. Mixed berries and warm pastries were specially good. A very comfortable base altogether.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th May 2021:

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Glenartney Everything about the hotel is of a very high standard, very comfortable,clean and a lovely homely feel. The breakfast is delicious and one of the best we’ve had Ross and Hannah have a beautiful hotel ...we’d love to come back for another visit.

Lots of lovely walks in and around Brodick...up to the castle and grounds and along the shore. Enjoyed the distillery and cafe at Lochranza and another walk around the coast. Arran art gallery worth a visit and The Shore in Whiting Bay for something to eat. The Shack mobile diner , excellent food. So much to see and do around the island.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd October 2020:

Fabulous guesthouse. Spotlessly clean with strict adherence to Covid-19 regulations so we felt incredibly safe during our stay. Friendly, approachable staff. Wonderful breakfasts. Great being able to use the dining room for takeaways for evening meals. Comfortable beds. A real find - we are regular visitors to Arran but this is the first time we stayed at Glenartney but it won't be the last. Highly recommend.

Fab walks at Glenashadale & Giant's Graves, Fallen Rocks. Glen Sannox,North Glen Sannox, Machrie Moor and the King's Cave. Sea otters at Whiting Bay, grey seals on the rocks between Catacol and Machrie, eagles at Glen Sannox. Mara Fish Bar in Corrie and Cruize at Auchrannie for excellent takeaways.

Both yourself and staff are polite and courteous. You made me as I was on my own very helpful . Nothing is too much trouble. Breakfasts are so personal and lots of choices for come with in a beautiful box tray. Loved all the delicious fresh ingredients from Arran as well. The hotel is beautiful and immaculately clean. Loved free internet.

There is a beautiful castle in their own grounds a museum which was really interesting about Arran. You can walk up goatfell. The cheese, aromathetic factory, also distilleries. Also you can walk along the beach. Take the forest woodland walk to lamlash all of these are accessible by foot.

First time we had stayed in a guest house rooms where just as good as a 4* hotel. Tea/coffee making facilities & caramel wafers! Arran Aromatics toilettres all these touches go a long way breakfast boxes where great & beautifully presented. Home baking left out to help yourself was just a wonderful touch. Ross & Hannah make you feel at home.

Cafe Thyme is a must nice drive & beautiful scenery. Food amazing for lunch. We found lamlash prettier than Brodick. Try Little Rock Cafe in Brodick for lunch & crofters for dinner. Drive to lochranza to see the stages. Auchrannie was disappointing for dinner.

We had a wonderful stay for a 3 night break away. The team at Glenartney were very welcoming and attentive while also maintaining safety measures to a high standard during the COVID-19 pandemic. We especially enjoyed the location and exceptional continental breakfast - inspiring us to continue making poached pears for breakfast. Too bad they don’t do lunch and dinner as they could teach a thing or two to the local eateries. Overall highly recommend staying at the guesthouse and we will definitely be back in the future.

Very welcoming and comfortable stay. Our room at the most amazing view of Goatfell. Ross was a great host and ensured we had everything we needed for our stay.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th September 2020:

A very comfortable stay, with a delicious breakfast of all homemade bread, granola, poached fruit, pastries and boiled eggs/ham & cheese. All the COVID regulations were in place but done in a way that we were still made to feel very welcome and at home, which some places don’t! Would highly recommend.

Definitely walk up Goat Fell for some incredible views. Wine port is a lovely spot for a drink.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th September 2020:

Can't fault your lovely wee B&B. Lovely warm welcome and small but, for us, ample sized room Loved your home baked bread and thanks for the tips. Also many thanks for the granola recipe. Will definitely be giving it a try. Thanks for a lovely stay.

The Crofters has a nice, if somewhat pricy, menu. But well cooked and presented. Douglas Hotel has a nice bar with views across the bay. Brodick Castle and grounds well worth a visit but give yourself at least a 1/2 day to do it justice.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th September 2020:

I was a bit worried that the breakfast would be lacking now you are not offering a cooked option. What was provided was great, but I was so glad porridge was an option. Also it's such a shame your maps and books about Arran are now hidden away :(

We enjoyed dinner at the Brodick Bar - food surprisingly good quality given it looks like a basic pub from the outside. We had a wonderful weekend, the weather was amazing...sunburn in September!!! Thanks for another lovely stay. We'll be back again soon.

28th September 2020:

Had a wonderful two night stay over the September weekend. Ross was very welcoming when we arrived slightly before the official check-in, and made us feel at home. Our room was excellent, very clean with all amenities we could need, including a hairdryer. And we had an incredible view of Goatfell from our window. The breakfast tray was fantastic - croissants, yoghurt, homemade granola and poached pears, berries, cheese, ham and boiled eggs, plus toast, porridge, tea and coffee and juice. We didn't need any lunch either day! All Covid regulations were being followed to the letter, and we felt very relaxed. The B&B is just a short walk up the hill from Brodick front, and a great location to explore the island from. Would definitely stay here again.

The Ormidale in Brodick is great for a relaxed pub meal, and no need to book unlike a lot of other local restaurants. The Drift Inn along in Lamlash has a lovely beer garden with a fabulous view over to Holy Isle. The Book and Card Shop on the front in Brodick has a great selection of Arran gifts and literature, as well as lovely cards and a great selection of books.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th September 2020:

Lovely couple very attentive and scrupulously clean guest house. Their continental breakfast was fabulous. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this little gem, with Amazing views

Brodick bar has pleasant staff but their meals are very pricey The Lagg distillery is a must but book before visiting.

The shower took a lbt of working out - perhaps an initial demonstration, not necessarily on arrival would have been good, Otherwise, punctilios service, and excellent breakfast and, given the current Covid-19 situation every step is taken to ensure your personal safety

Glenartney Guest House is a fantastic place to stay. We have just spent 2nights there with our Grandson and family. Second visit there, and although there are definitely restrictions we felt safe. Lovely continental breakfast. And still had the lovely cakes in afternoon, lovely view from our room and garden. Hannah and Ross excellent hosts. First night we had our fish and chips in the breakfast room. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th September 2020:

The only negative thing about our stay was the quality of the breakfast. We were informed upon booking that it would be a continental breakfast which was fine but the quality and portion was very poor. A party of two, we were served with one slice of toast each, although told we could order more. One portion of butter each and small portion of cold meat and one egg between the two of us. If you are just serving Continental, then I would advise that you improve the quantity. I can understand that you do not want waste but a rack of toast and even an egg each together with a selection of meats and cheese would be more appropriate. You have a lovely guest house which we have stayed in on a few occasions, so it is a shame that you are falling a bit flat with breakfast. If you upgraded your breakfast then yes I would recommend your establishment to others

A very stylish guest house and possibly the best we have stayed in. With all the Covid restrictions, I think our stay was very safe and the staff were very friendly. The breakfast was simply the best continental breakfast we’ve had in a long time and was beautifully presented on a tray.
