The hosts, Susan and Angus (who is a chef) made sure that our stay was not only comfortable and clean, but also delicious! We received many recommendations from Susan about what places to explore and where to find the most interesting local sights, while Angus made delicious breakfasts and recommended many nice places to eat around.

"A perfectly pleasant stay. However it lacks the human touch. Everything is automated and seems organised to minimise interaction between host and guest. Breakfast - all three courses at the same time left at your door - eating cereal first meant cold bacon sandwich and cold toast. Run for the proprietor not the guest. "

"I loved everything about this hotel. The room was charming and full of character, the hotel was well located on the island: seaside, ten minutes from Brodick, less than a block from the Fish Bar and Deli. The service was excellent at all turns -- the staff are friendly and informative, breakfast is made fresh every morning with a table reserved just for you, and the restaurant is great (I almost cried at how good my sticky toffee pudding was, with Isle of Arran made ice cream on top).

"Handy for Rothsey, and a lovely old building. My room was facing the harbour and an interesting view. Tired in places, chair was very wobbly, and doors etc as you would expect in a property of this age. However, the retro-fitted en-suite was good, and nice and clean. Felt like carpet had not been hovered. The Scottish breakfast was nice and not too overwhelming. Just right. The guys running the place were really friendly and polite."
