The only place to stay

I finally went back to Arran after 24 years and this hotel, the staff and the locals made my trip one of the best I’ve experienced. Travelling solo with a baby was always going to be tricky but they all made our lives so easy and comfortable. I’ve never experienced customer service like I did here, they really are amazing! Already planning to come back in a few months.

Highly Recommend

Looking out towards Holy Isle, this small hotel is a lovely place to stay when visiting Arran. Staff were friendly and very helpful, food was excellent. The garden was perfect to relax in after a hilly round of golf! Highly recommended

Nice room, mostly nice people

Room was lovely, great view from hotel, a little unfortunate that room was above smoking area so room smelt a little bit in the evening. Staff were kind apart from one who we unfortunately had to deal with at dinner and at check out.

Adjacent building rooms sadly mediocre

We booked a "Double Room", and on our arrival were taken to the adjacent building (this was not specified in our booking). The room looked like someone's badly maintained and not very clean spare room. Lack of gas supply meant there was no hot water from the tap (so washing our hands in February was painful), the radiators didn't work (instead there were two noisy portable heaters which made sleeping very difficult). There were spiderwebs everywhere, the bed was very uncomfortable. Since this clearly didnt match what we booked, we asked reception for a resolution but they didn't have any free equivalent rooms and didn't want to upgrade us to something better. Overall a real disappointment - the only saving point was the view which was very pretty. I don't doubt the proper "double rooms" in the main building are gorgeous, but we weren't given those. To think that the price is the same between the two is unacceptable. A real shame as this was our first holiday in ages.

The Glenisle Hotel is located in Lamlash with a stunning view across to the Holy Isle- from the top room. Central, and convenient for other eateries and bars, with a Co-op Market a short walk. Hotel was spotless and comfortable, with staff friendly and welcoming. Carpark was small, but enough space at front to park on road. A nice seat across from Hotel front entrance to take in the view 🤗
