From the welcoming tea & cakes to the sumptuous breakfasts, this hotel is the best you will find on Arran. Adele & Peter offer fantastic customer service in a wonderfully decorated and furnished hotel on the shore at Whiting Bay. The views are stunning and the treats in the room and after breakfast are great touches. Nothing is too much... more

As a bit of a cynic when it comes to hotel reviews I have always 'softened' the highs and lows of review ratings. Tough to do in this case with an average of 4.95, so we went expecting that the Royal Arran could do no other than fall short of that mark. Truth is that it is impossible to give... more

What a wonderful way to stay at Arran. Superb hosts, always attentive to our needs during our stay. Really nice rooms especially the Garden room with its own patio. Food is fresh and very tasty! Really loved it! more

All the good things that have been said about this small hotel are right. We were bowled over by the attention to detail afforded by our hosts at this delightful hotel. The standard they have set is going to be difficult to better. We spent two days here at the start of a long holiday trip around the Scottish Isles... more

Friends recommended this hotel to us and we were certainly not disappointed. It couldnt have rained any harder on the day we arrived but as we had a car over on the island and were warm and dry it didnt matter. The hotel is a beautiful big house with just 4 letting rooms right on the shore at Whiting Bay.... more

We stayed on Arran for 2 night over Easter, and had a fabulous break. Adele is the perfect host, and gave us a warm, friendly greeting as we arrived. We decided to book the Royal Arran after reading the great reviews on TripAdvisor, and we were not disappointed! After putting our bags in our room (which had a nice four... more

Stayed here for 2 nights in October 2008. We were given a wonderful welcome, along with complimentary tea, coffee and cakes, by Adele. This hospitality was supplemented over the next two days with baked 'treats' for guests to take away with them each day, which is an unexpected and thoughtful touch. The room was large and had a fabulous view... more

I would like to reiterate the comments made by previous reviewers. The Royal Arran has an idyllic position on Whiting Bay with the most stunning views imaginable. The four bedrooms, their en-suite shower rooms, and the public rooms are immaculate. The biggest asset, however, is the very high level of hospitality offered by Adele and Peter. Their attention to detail... more
