The Lagg Hotel in North Ayrshire

Lovely hotel/restaurant. Food was lovely and efficient as well as being dog friendly - absolutely they have a friendly dog on premises as well!

What a gem this place is! We received such a warm welcome here & would definitely like to return. Arran is stunning and the Lagg Hotel is tucked away in a beautiful spot. Lovely walks on the doorstep through a wood directly down to the beach. Our room was beautifully decorated with a lovely bathroom and french doors into the garden. Ideal for staying with two dogs. We loved the little garden with sounds of the river and birdsong. The food was delicious & the bar was super friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and we had the most wonderful break. Thanks so much Lee & Jules for your

If you fancy an indulgent night away this is the place for you. This was an actual open the room door and gasp hotel. Even had our own little space in the garden. Absolute gorgeous. The photos with this review says it all. The service and welcome was outstanding. Breakfast was delicious. The choice of pastries, fresh fruit, teas coffees, cereal and cooked breakfast was superb, it was delicious (we had pastries and the full English). Got to mention Liam who was a joy, everything done for you with enthusiasm and a great smile.

We had Dinner at the inn whilst touring Arran. Food was very good and we got chatting to the owners Jules and Lee. They are lovely and are doing a great job having only taken over in the last few months. Their staff are great too. We ended up staying for a couple of nights in one of their beautiful garden rooms. Breakfast was good and the room was quiet and well appointed with lovely views across the garden to the river. We would highly recommend if you’re looking for a relaxing night or nights on the island. Wishing them all the best in their new life on Arran.

On my first ever visit to Arran, we stopped overnight at the Lagg Hotel. We arrived early and were met by the ever hospitable Jules and Mea (a very chilled out husky). Jules was very accommodating and we could have checked in early but instead, using the good weather, we took ourselves off for a glorious cycle around the southern end of Arran - with a lunch stop at the Lagg Distillery where we enjoyed some excellent bar snacks and the fish platter. Back on our bikes, we cycled over the Ross, a winding, single track road that crosses the island from coast to coast. (At the time we did it, the road was closed to traffic but we'd been told that it was possible to push the bikes over the section that had collapsed and was udergoing repair.) Along the way, we stopped to watch a male hen harrier quartering for prey and utterly oblivious to our presence. We climbed up from the coast and crossing the damaged section, we hurtled downhill to rejoin the coast road. Unlike the Ross road where we met no traffic other than the workmen repairing the road and one lone cyclist, the main coast road was relativley busy but the views south to Ailsa Craig and tiny Pladda with its lighthouse built in the 1780s are well worth the effort. Arriving back at the Lagg hotel, we checked in to our rooms which were clean and cosy with lovely views over the garden to the river, Torylinn Water. After a good hot shower, dinner was taken in the bar - shared with a mix of guests and a lively group of locals enjoying themselves at the bar. The food was good quality bar food from a small but varied menu and after a couple of beers we retired to our rooms for a quiet night's sleep. Breakfast in the morning was served in the dining room. The full Scottish came in two versions; small, which was a considerable quantity of food and large, which no doubt would have tested the table! Croissants, toast and teas anmd coffees completed the feast. After breakfast we took the short walk through the woodland that grew along the steep banks of the river, past Torylinn Cairn to the pebble beach where an agitated sea was building ahead of an increasingly fresh southerly breeze. Suitably refreshed, we retraced our steps and took our leave. I have a feeling that wwe will ne back.

On our recent golf, birding and sightseeing trip, my son and I had a very enjoyable overnight stay at The Lagg. Jules and Lee, the owner-operators who recently acquired the venerable hotel (it dates from 1791), were unfailingly cheerful and seemingly indefatigable as they dealt with a busy Friday night bar and supper trade that stretched past 10 PM but still had the coffee on in the breakfast room before 7:30 the next morning. We also enjoyed the company Mea, their four-legged greeter and concierge. Our accommodations were immaculate and comfortable and the food -- especially the full Scottish breakfast -- was outstanding. The hotel's considerable charm derives in no small measure from its tranquil setting alongside a babbling brook amid trees filled with singing chaffinches and warblers, and a nearby walking path that leads through woods and pastures to stunning views of the beach. Don't be put off by the hotel's remote location; it's one of the many things that makes it so delightful.

We stayed at the Lagg Hotel just a few days after the new owners had taken it over. Given that they were still getting a handle on running the hotel, they were doing a fabulous job. The hotel has tons of atmosphere and the service is top notch. We stayed in the four-poster room which was luxurious with a super comfortable bed and well appointed bathroom. Dinner in the cozy bar was delicious and breakfast the next morning was excellent with plenty of choices. We felt very welcomed and had a wonderful stay. Thoroughly recommended! (PS. Thanks, Jules, for squeezing us in for dinner!)

Lovely hotel in a lovely location at the south end of Arran. Four star experience but not in the way modern bland hotels do it, owners/hosts were very hospitable and friendly, room was comfortable and comfy chairs were well appreciated, resting after a busy day before heading down for dinner. Under new ownership so still ramping up their services, the bar menu was excellent and the bar staff were excellent. Had a lovely beach walk from the hotel through bluebell woods. Definitely returning this way again.

Tried to book an evening meal on basis of these reviews but were told by the establishment they are now only a B&B

A beautiful meal, exceptional service and a cosy inn atmosphere. My starter was a handsome hunk of ham and chicken terrine with melt-in-your-mouth brioche toast. I chose the vegetarian main: the red onion tart with goat’s cheese was a sublime combination and quite light so I had room for pudding. Two of our party of four female friends picked the same dessert. When the young male waiter arrived at our table and announced ‘two tarts’ oh how we laughed (this is a term of endearment for us). The puff pastry of the apple tart was as fluffy as the cloud inversion we experienced on top of Goatfell, the peaks of apple were juicy and the local dairy ice cream topped it off perfectly. Highly recommend this place.

We stayed here recently for 1 night and weren't that impressed by anything that this hotel offered. The reception staff who greeted us was quite short and rude when we arrived after a long day travelling. There was no cooked vegetarian breakfast options. One girl working at breakfast to cover all the tables, which seemed a bit unfair. Fairly basic for the price of 1 night accommodation. Some good points: the garden out the front is nice to have a walk around. The hotel itself is surrounded by beautiful scenery.

Service was "interesting"!! :) The owner/manager is definitely what you'd call a "character". Very quiet place - could do with some background music or something to create a bit of buzz. We found the food to be overpriced but surprisingly high quality - very good indeed.

We had dinner here on our final night on the island. We both had the ham hock and chicken terrine to start and it was divine!! Lovely flavours and textures. For main we both went for the lamb which was also lovely and served pink. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. The service was really friendly and attentive, I'd definitely recommend.

Stayed two nights while touring arran. Lovely property in lovely gardens. Room and bathroom spacious and clean. Had evening meal which was excellent. Host very friendly and helpful. Property situated about 40 mins from ferry terminal and not far from distillery. Would recommend and stay there again

We stopped in for a coffee and cake/sausage roll. Lovely little pit stop and very good snacks available. Would visit again in the area.

Great fresh good and even better hospitality and was a very welcome stop on the annual cycle round arran!

I stayed in the hotel for one night only. The room was spacious and comfy and the staff was lovely. Breakfast was excellent. I had dinner in the restaurant which was delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

We were staying in the hotel which can raise concerns of being a captive audience but all was good. The restaurant was intimate but not deserted and the service attentive if slightly strange-added to the meal though. I had eaten plenty of fish over the previous few days and chose the pigeon, washed down with a pinot noir. The pigeon was more well done than some may like but it was still moist and had good flavour, so no complaints!

Here now. Staying in the hotel. Popped into the Velocafe for a snack n beer. Absolutely perfect spot for a round the island cycle tour, car pit stop or hiking break. Loads of cycling memorabilia and welcoming of the outdoors type.I cannot wait to return with my bike and to pop in on the way roond. Don’t have a big breakfast on the ferry ⛴.. it will spoil your appetite ‍♂️‍♂️

We were looking forward to our stay with our dog. However on arrival we found out dogs are not allowed in any eating areas. This means not even in the pub with nobody there you still can't eat in the pub and are told to lock the dog on its own in the bedroom or car. Totally understand the rule for the restaurant as this always applies wherever you go. This spoiled our stay as not one meal could be had without having one of us having to be with our anxious pooch so had massive impact on our stay due to taking turns to eat. At lunch they have a dog friendly cafe but selection of food really poor. Sorry to it say but if you have a dog that is slightly anxious I wouldn't go there. Otherwise the rooms are traditional but comfy. The food is good rather than great.

Stopped whilst doing a lap of the island on our bikes for coffee at the Velo Cafe at the Lagg. We sat outside and there was plenty of rooms to put bikes. Coffee was very good and although it was too early for lunch, the menu looked good and there was a nice array of cakes. Lots of things to interest keen cyclists too - great decoration with pages from Equipe in the toilets!

The hotel bar area looks likes it’s just had a major make over. A few specials on the board and a mix of meals on the menu. It’s not a massive choice but will accommodate most tastes. Presentation is excellent and portions are a standard amount. Price wise slightly more than run of the mill but as it’s a hotel in a seasonal location it’s about what you would expect.

Stopped for a refuel as part of a 20 mile cycle in and around Arran. Fabulous coffee and superb home made cakes. I had a flapjack which was delicious - jammed with raisins and fruits and my husband had a very generous slab of home made ginger cake which was very moist and full of flavour. Worth every penny

Stayed here for 2 nights while visiting this beautiful island. Very comfortable, old style hotel and lovely garden. Recently refurbished to high standard with great attention to detail. Lovely, friendly staff and delicious food. Cater for allergies (gluten) with good choice of food available for both breakfast and dinner. Delicious gluten free Granola! Highly recommend this place.

Popped in for a drink after a walk. Tried Arran gin, lovely. The hotel has just been re decorated and is very smart. It was warm enough though to sit out in the beautiful gardens.

Hi on the way back to our holiday let, we stopped at the Lagg Hotel for a meal, lovely place to eat and drink staff very good and helpful food and drink well priced landlady very nice and helpful as fire was alight tonight and was to hot for the wife so she took us into Dining room for our meal very good, plus had cheese board and this was first place to give us cheese knives nice touch brill night out ThanksMel &Julie Suffolk

A gorgeous hotel steeped in history. This inn is the oldest on Arrran. It's over 200 years old. Lovely ambience and pleasant, knowledgeable owners up to speed with local history/knowledge. Highly recommend!

Nach einem gemütlichen Apéro vor dem Hotel habe ich hier ein hervorragend zubereitetes Nachtessen gehabt.

We stopped here for dinner and a couple drinks before heading to our BnB. Really nice service, staff was friendly and food delicious.

Attached to the Lagg hotel is a cycling themed cafe - the ‘Velo’ cafe. The interior is covered with cycling related pictures/parephenalia. Not being pedal pushers, however, did not diminish the welcome that we and our three (‘well-behaved’) Staffordshire Bull Terriers received. The tea and coffee were prepared with care and the in-house fruit/tealoaf is to be recommended. Staff were friendly and efficient. We will return.

Haven't been the Lagg for 4 years but went whilst on Arran last week and still one of the best on Arran...and bonus is Vello café next door to it do amazing cake and coffee too!!

To celebrate my wife’s birthday in April we visited Arran for the first time for several years. We usually stayed in the Lamlash area on previous visits but after looking at several places we opted for the Lagg Hotel. This turned out to be an excellent choice as we had an excellent holiday. The accommodation, staff, dining and location made this a memorable birthday and I would happily recommend the Lagg Hotel.

We arrived to a very warm welcome. The room was clean and comfortable, loved watching Irish TV. Evening meal was delicious. Hosts couldn’t do enough for us. Very useful for information about where to go and what to do. Would recommend highly.

Had a brilliant weekend here. Location great-lovely walk from hotel to beautiful sandy beach. Hosts, Mary and Peter, are really friendly. Food excellent! Would definitely go back!!! Mike and Elaine, IOW

Auf Inselerkundung hatten wir in Lagg im Velo Café einen Kaffeehalt gemacht. Sauber, nett, unkompliziert und spitzen Kaffee.

Whilst walking the Isle of Arran coast path we spent one evening here.

We only stopped for a coffee, (which was nicely served). We looked at the garden and the very interesting lunch menu and thought what a lovely peacefull place to stay it would be.

My daughter & I went here for a weekend break. It was really lovely, the hotel is very clean, comfy & has a lovely friendly vibe. We had a bit of an emergency health problem - the owner was amazing, could not do enough to help. The food is outstanding we did dinner B&B; - we will definitely go back. Thank you for a lovely stay

We arrived hot and thirsty after a long walk on a sunny day only to find the café was just closing at 3pm. However we received a very friendly welcome and were able to enjoy tea and lovely cake sitting outside in the sunshine. Will remember to visit earlier (for lunch) next time!

We ate twice at the Velo cafe during our stay and enjoyed walking to it via the beach. It has a small but excellent menu. They serve a delicious vegan soup daily as well as rolls and cakes. Cakes include vegan and/or gluten free options.

Delicious cakes, great coffee - also offer a wider menu for lunches - good prices, dog friendly, indoor or outdoor seating, nice log burner, great staff.....Vegan and GF choices too.

Visited here at the last minute and really pleased we did. The staff were lovely and made us feel very welcome. They managed to accommodate us earlier than booked, despite it being a busy night. The food we had were basic items off the menu - fish and chips and sausage and mash. Both meals were really good quality and very tasty. I would definitely recommend. The prices are very reasonable.

Nipped in here on our way past and ended up having some food. Very good food and lone waitress was very friendly. Don't know why it wasn't very busy as it was really good.

.. in the Velo cafe which is part of the hotel. Very clean and nice (cycling) decor; very friendly service; amazing lentil soup with roll; and a pretty good flat white coffee too. The perfect stopping place, halfway through our third of four days walking...

We stopped for lunch at the Velo Café. Good range of sandwiches, soup and cakes and the homemade Scottish tablet was lovely. Seating outside of the pub and around the side of pub. Didn't go inside the pub though.

Never mind the furnishings, this restaurant is friendly, helpful and serves rather special food. Lovely atmosphere (people clearly enjoying their food), a sensible amount of choice and good wine list as well as a bar. Real log fire on a cool evening.

Were in the cafe cycle friendly and was really delighted with our homemade cake and lovely coffee. Staff very friendly and helpful to let us know where to visit when on the island. Lots of cyclists use the cafe as a meeting place on way...

Fantastic food, brilliant service, amazing price. Simply cannot wait to return - a fabulous experience!

Fortunate enough to be squeezed in at short notice, as this hotel only has a few covers. Nice friendly staff...

On a horrid wet summer's day we found this pub welcoming and cosy. The haddock and chips were exquisitely cooked...

Booked our stay at the very very last minute, after having extreme difficulties in another establishment on Arran. The Lagg...

Site magnifique Personnel charmant Petit déjeuner très copieux et délicieux Idéal pour séjour en amoureux loin de tout

Great food, including some incredible cakes. Coffee isn't too shabby either. Was camping at seal shore so discovered this place on a search for breakfast one day and come back twice. Great display of cycling kit on the walls and the staff were very friendly. The gardens around the area are also beautiful theirs also a friendly dog who follows you around. What's not to love.

We were staying local for the weekend, and booked here as it was a birthday meal for my mother in law the big 60,food was cooked freshly and we understood being a large party it would take a little time, a few of us ordered the Cullen skint for starters lovely taste just lacked fish, in fact my uncles soup had 1 small bit of fish in it,rest of starters were fine, main meals were lovely, I had the steak pie and it was very filling, I did find the service was friendly enough but it seemed a little disorganised, no condiments were offered with our meal which is unusual, great little place just needs more fish in the soup and condiments offered. We did spend over £200.

The Hotel bar served very nice food with good friendly service.Looking forward to a return trip.Also ate in Café Velo which is attached - nice wee friendly café for a coffee and bowl of soup - especially if you like the cycling theme.

Stopped in at Cafe Velo for a coffee. Great food and service. The kale and potato soup was great. Also came with a nice sandwich.

This is a review of the Cafe Velo only, which is attached the The Lagg Hotel. Cafe very good for hot drinks and yummy cakes, in surroundings filled with cycling memorabilia and vintage decor. Friendly and welcoming staff. Hope they do well in this new venture - they deserve to. Recommended.

A beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting. We called for lunch and chose the fish, chips and mushy peas. It was delicious and the portion was huge. Very helpful waitress.

Had a lovely lunch here. The service is friendly, but they could do with more front of house staff as service can be slow when they are busy. Food excellent and really good value. The gardens are lovely and there are tables where you can sit by the river.

We had a great stay, very friendly hotel, room clean and nice, staff good and hotel quaint. We had a small problem - the owner was called it was fixed and money off the bill for the inconvenience- that's the way you sort a problem - no fuss and immediate. Would and will go back again - food was good too

Stopped off at the recently opened Velo Café (or is it Café Velo?) while cycling round Arran. Was only going to have a coffee, but stayed for lunch. Very friendly welcome. Great espresso. Food limited but very tasty. Decorated with cycling memorabilia and lots of cycling books to browse. Hope to go again soon.

We stayed for four nights on a golfing and walking holiday in June . The first impressive thing when we walked in was log fires in both the bar and the lounge , really welcoming as were the owners , Pete and Mary and all the staff .The food was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Our visit unfortunately coincided with the breakdown of one of the ferries and we had to leave the car on the mainland and travel as foot passengers but Pete and Mary went to unbelievable lengths to help .All in all we were very pleased to have stayed as a guest at The Lagg , we also escaped the midges .The golf courses on Arran are varied and whilst not long are very challenging , shishkin and Corrie we really enjoyed

We had an excellent bowl of soup at the Velo Cafe. It's a pleasant and interesting space---particularly if you're interested in bikes and cycling---and the staff are very pleasant too.

Booking is a must for dinner, we tried to visit one night and it was fully booked. Food was tasty Scottish fare at reasonable prices.Service was a bit slow and we were put out in the dining room which didn't have the same atmosphere at the bar. So for a large part of our meal we felt we were put out the way and forgotten a bit. If you're visiting ask to be seated in then bar! Staff were friendly and overall agood visit.

A cosy individual hotel in a quiet area of beautiful Arran. Great for walking and cycling. Need a car or great bike as not near much apart from great scenery but this is part of its charm. Really good food.

This is a lovely old country inn. Especially recommend visiting in the summer as they have lovely gardens overlooking the burn with tables outside.We visited this week with our children for lunch. Kids portions were fabulous and substantial and pizza tasted homemade and not out a packet. Hubby had fish and chips which looked particularly nice with chunky homemade chips. My chicken and bacon club sandwich was a bit disappointing - made on cheap white bread which was a bit burnt. Also it was very dry with no mayo or sauce.Room was pretty cold and could have done with the fire on. Specials looked fantastic at dinner time, pity these were not available for lunch.Will visit again though and will have the fish and chips this time!

We stopped here for a coffee on a drive around the island. The bar was nothing special but the outside seating area was green shaded and very pleasant.

We ate here on two evenings sampling different meals on each occasion. The food was of a very high standard with good sized portions.

We stopped for lunch when driving round the island. The building is lovely to look at and the restaurant is cosy with a real fire which was lovely to see on a cold day. The waiting staff were very nice but we had a very long wait for our lunch to be served. As we were only having a light bite I had a panini and my husband had Cullen skink. My panini was fine but my husband said the Cullen skink was quite watery and very disappointing. Overall we were quite underwhelmed so probably wouldn't return.

Had dinner here twice, food was great, service prompt and attentive. Not overly expensive some of the specials had run out but thats nature of specials

Stopped here for an evening meal while on Arran. An old building with lots of character. We ate in the bar; it was nice to have an open log fire on a dark and chilly October evening. A fairly straightforward menu, but food was well cooked and nicely presented, and the barmaid/waitress was friendly.

We had a lovely lunch here, food was delicious. Service good Beautiful surroundings. The building is lovely but a little tired in places.

We stopped for coffee and scone to find them just out the oven. We liked the look of this place and would have liked to have been able to Dine. Perhaps on another visit to Arran. It is not on a beach front but if you like somewhere peaceful and with character this definitely worth a view on Google.

Booked a three night stay here for our first visit to Arran on the recommendation of previous TripAdvisor posts and the Hotel lived up to expectations. The staff were extremely attentive and caring, the food plentiful and excellent and the log fires in both the comfortable lounge and bar were much appreciated as the weather was not particularly pleasant. There is a large car park across the road so there is no worry about finding a space if one arrives late in the eveningWe enjoyed our stay in the very homely and comfortable Lagg Hotel and hope to stay there again one day.

We booked for dinner at the Lagg Hotel, and were not disappointed. The menu is not ambitious so the food is excellent. Service was professional and friendly, and no long waits between courses. Would recommend. The setting is super, on the 'main' road, with plenty of car parking.

4 of us had a lunch time meal at the Lagg, The food was of excellent quality with a good choice. 2 of my party have also been there for an evening meal and were as equally impressed.

It's really a case of a restaurant which carries through the ethos of the finest hotel in Scotland. I will say no more!

This hotel is right down in the South of the island of Arran....we had booked last minute for one night and this was one of very few available so we didn't really actively choose it but we were very happy when we got there. The hotel is in a lovely riverside setting and the garden makes the most of this. The decor is traditional for a Scottish country hotel and the room we had was comfortable and spacious. Staff were friendly and helpful. There was an extensive and flexible choice for breakfast.....it was all very good and was served in a lovely dining room by a very pleasant and efficient lady. There was good local information available in the rooms including details of a few walks accessible from the hotel. The price was near the top end of what we would want to pay but it was good value for money. Wifi was patchy in the hotel if this is something that is important to you and we had no phone signal for a few miles around it however a local man assured us that this will all change at the end of the year when the whole island moves away from BT to another provider

I have to say one of the best 3 course meals I have probably eaten. Everything cooked to perfection. Unbelievable cheese board to share for £10. Superb room and breakfast and fantastic service from all the staff. Thanx very much for an enjoyable stay, we will be back!!

There has been a hostelry on the site for over 200 years. Our room was adequate but the TV was the size of an A4 sheet of paper. It was impossible to read anything on the screen. There is wi-fi in the public areas but is was very weak and not too reliable. The hotel boasted a restaurant but we had to eat in the bar as the restaurant was only opened when they were very busy. The food was quite acceptable but it was not inspiring being mainly of the bar food type e.g. fish and chips, sausage and mash, pie and chips.With a little more effort eh hotel could be transformed into a good place to stay.

Came here with friends for a meal. Very clean and welcoming. Food was well presented and delicious. Not a huge choice of menu but that didn't detract from quality. Very friendly staff. Goats cheese with beetroot and orange for starter, steak done to perfection.raspberry and granola thingy for pudding and all were delicious.

If you want a real pub experience, this is the place! Rooms are clean and small, food is good, grounds are lovely. It is a beautiful spot.

We stayed nearby and ate here twice. The service is friendly and relaxed, and although the menu is a bit limited the food we had was excellent, the fish and chips were great!

This is a super spot for lunch on a nice day. Fortunately we got one and were able to sit in the gardens adjacent to the hotel. There is a small burn running through the area so you can enjoy eating while listening to the sound of running water. There food menu is pretty good and reasonably priced with the exception of the fish and chips which at £12.50 is a bit pricey. That said, everything that we ordered was well prepared and tasty. The ham, eggs and chips went down well but note that the 2 fried eggs and ham is served on top of the chips, so if you don't want that ask them to put the chips on the side. The Cullen Skink was really good, if somewhat light on smoked fish and the Niçoise salad and chicken and cheddar panini went down very well. This is a good place at lunch time for sure, if you are in the Kilmory area of Arran, give it a try.

Only popped in for a coffee and scone. We sat in garden near river and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings.

I don't know why but there are two separate entries in Trip Advisor for this place [publishers please note and try consolidating?]Lagg Hotel is a small hotel with, I understand, only thirteen bedrooms. Apart from breakfast served in the Dining Room other meals tend to be served in the bar unless it is busy. The bar is very handy and usually has a log fire adding to the atmosphere. The food is of a high standard and well cooked; well done owners and staff

Stopped here for some lunch and to get out of the rain. Good unfussy food with great friendly service. The log fire was a welcome touch on a cold dreary day.

Enjoyable lunch from a basic menu. Stopped in passing and filled up with a very good quiche and salad. Nice looking small hotel in riverside setting, would be cosy with fires lit. Friendly staff made for a good experience.

Lovely setting in terms of the location. We found the food to be very overpriced for what you got, ie £7 for 3 not very well cooked scallops! Our food lacked flavour and we were overall pretty disappointed with our meal, and we're usually easily pleased food wise. I wouldn't recommend coming here if you want a decent meal in Arran. Maybe the chef was having a bad day because I see all reviews prior are positive?

Had lunch here while out touring island, found by chance and glad we did. Staff very friendly and welcoming, excellent food choices, freshly cooked to order. Would certainly visit again

Great stop on our hike around Arran. The hotel, originally built in 1791, has all the charm of an historic inn. Rooms have mod cons and every comfort. Public areas cosy and varied. Owners warm and accommodating. Highly recommended.

We visited here in May 2015 and had the best fish and chips EVER! Visited again in April 2016 and were not disappointed. Lovely surroundings especially with the fire, never seems to be too crazy busy at lunch time. Great dessert! Must try the sticky toffee pud! Will be back next time we visit Arran

Booked for one night , stayed for 2 . Staff very friendly and extremely helpful. Ate in the bar and food superb at reasonable price. Cosy bar ,open fire and dog wandering around! Breakfast was excellent. Place spotlessly clean .

We've been here several times, and although it's a 20 minute drive each way it's always worth the effort for perfectly cooked fish and chips in a cosy atmosphere with a very welcoming open fire. The desserts are pretty good too - chocolate brownie and ice cream generally hits the spot !

We stopped off here for lunch and we both had Fish, chips and mushy peas. It was well worth stopping and we will be sure to come back again next time we're on Arran.
