The Douglas Hotel Arran Ltd Review

Lovely hotel with a beautiful restaurant and top class food! Beds were super comfy and proximity to the ferry port is fab!

Food amazing .decor stunning .service fab and amazing views

Good hotel all round. Room excellent. Shame it rained the whole time

Fabulous room, helpful, friendly staff and wonderful food. A stunning location with views of Goatfell from the terrace.

Room excellent. Food was poor and slow. The hotel was not busy in the restaurant but we're busy serving food outside. The sun was shining.

Great accommodation, friendly staff, good food. Well worth a visit.

We stayed in the Balcony Suite. Although the weather was poor the room and food sure made up for it.

Fabulous, got stranded as the ferry got cancelled. They put us up at short notice we had amazing rooms and views. Staff could not have been better. Food also excellent thanks so much for helping us out.

Stunning hotel, we absolutely love it! Rooms are to a very high standard and are impressively clean. Comfortable beds and the stand of food at dinner and breakfast was great.

Loved it. Staff were really friendly. The catering was great and catered well for vegetarians.

Restaurant with good food, good beer, good music, and good views over Brodick Bay. Friendliness and good service of the staff.

Very good food selection and dogs are allowed in the bar.

Room was noisy when we first checked in. Avoid rooms over the bistro or bar to avoid noise. Service was incredibly slow in the bistro for dinner. However our room and bathroom was spacious and well decorated.

Nice comfortable bar with great selection of beers and spirits, good food too, friendly service, would definitely return.

Only stopped in the bar. Good beer and good service in nice surroundings. A good place to wait for the next ferry

Lovely hotel, great bar area, good food and comfortable rooms with real character. The opposite of an anonymous chain hotel

As a last minute booking, on the day, got the last two rooms, next-door to one another. Fabulous rooms, on the ground floor, had a shared patio. Had a private exit gate, right at the carpark. Food was very good. Wonderful hotel and staff very courteous. Only quibble, we were at the back with no view, but the fabulous rooms made up for that.

Lovely food, great settling and good service. Always a treat!

Friendly staff and a lovely view. The Arran steak burger is the best I have ever eaten.

An ideal location with brilliant staff and a great view. Good choice of drinks and food.

Recently on our trip to Arran all the ferries home were cancelled so we checked into this hotel near the harbour for the night. A truly beautiful hotel, our rate included dinner, bed and breakfast (although breakfast started too late 07:30 for us to get it!) and was fairly reasonable. Our room was lovely and huge, there was an awesome bath with great Arran Aromatics products. Dinner was lovely, hubbie had steak and I had duck. Made our unexpected night turn into a real treat!

The bar menu is extensive, interesting and varied, with lots of locally sourced ingredients. Very good value for money, with an excellent location in Brodick.

Not what it used to be showing wear an house keeping isn't great

Beautiful location great views. Beds were amazing bathroom great only problem was the hotel room walls were so thin you could hear everything going on you could hear the television and conversation in some else's room also we were awakened extremely late at night by a loud thud and people being hashy bashy in the hall way what we found out the next morning was an ambulance crew was taking another guest out his room as he slipped in the bathroom while intoxicated.

Would have rated higher if I couldn't hear everything as I am a light sleeper.

Went to dinner at the bistro. Very good food. Excellent service and attention to drinks and food. The food and drinks were very affordable. I got a delicious seafood dish and would order it again in a heartbeat!

I only went to the pub and did not stay overnight. The pub was really great, also open on Sundays. Also gave vegetarian offer. Nice, that you can sit outside, with sea view.

We dropped in to have some dinner in Brodick as all else seemed closed. The service was professional and friendly. Our good arrived within 20 minutes and it was fresh and hot.
My only grievance with the place has nothing to do with the place itself. Some of the patrons were unruly as I believe there was some sporting event happening on the television on the other side of the bar and some of the other patrons around us who came in for some peaceful dining found it a bit frustrating.
Not giving it 5 stars since I believe my food was a bit overpriced. Granted it was for the experience I was paying, but the rowdy crowd in the adjacent room tips the balance.

Stunning view from hotel excellent room and best complimentary breakfast

2night stay which was enjoyable clean and friendly nice decor, great location. Food good particularly breakfast. Will definitely stay again.

Pricey but worth it. A bit of luxury on the island.

Lovely compact hotel. Full of character in splendid setting of Brodick Bay with views of Goat Fell and the Sleeping Warrior.
A jewel in the Isle of Arran's crown.
Excellent bistro food. Cosy +++.
Highly recommended.
For those contemplating a Scottish visit - Arran is a must.

First class hotel with excellent facilities and friendly staff. Always stay here when visiting Arran and have never been disappointed. Breakfasts are fab

As ever a fabulous few days away on beautiful Arran made even more special by staying at the Douglas Hotel. The rooms are spacious and modern clean and comfortable. Compliments to the warm and friendly staff for nothing was too much trouble. Not forgetting the chefs who provided excellent food at every meal. Perfect thank you.

Thank you to all the staff who made our last evening on the Island so memorable. Good food and friendly, attentive service.

Excellent location next to the ferry, lovely rooms, great food and helpful staff

Dog friendly (bar only) for well behaved dogs on a leash. Excellent views over the harbour, Brodick bay and Goatfell. Very handy for the ferry, if you've come round too early.

Fairly expensive for what it is. The food was ok, not amazing though.

I really like the Douglas, handy for the boat as well. Good food and friendly staff. A good base for all of Arran. Very nice rooms and lovely spacious bathrooms.

Great views nice pint friendly staff, only down fall was the price of the food, decided to eat elsewhere.

A warm welcome, good service, great location and lovely views (while the weather held!)

There were no sheds left so we got upgraded to full rooms at zero cost- :) however no food availible:(

Good food and service. Extensive menu. Well run place

Lovely hotel with very friendly and accommodating staff. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely place for a drink or something to eat. Staff friendly and helpful and very smartly dressed with tartan ties and waist coats! Food was fresh and delicious and reasonable priced.

Friendly welcome from efficient staff. Clean spacious and well appointed rooms. Safe Covid aware arrangements in place. Well done!

Another lovely spot on Arran. This place is the grand building across from the ferry port. The bar is lovely (the bistro was closed mid afternoon) and the food more than matched it. We would come here just for a drink in a lovely setting too but the food is so good we'd end up eating too...

Ecellent hotel very comfortable. Only small downside bar a bit loud for me but that might be a age thing! Get a room at the back if you need to be away from the bar. No view of sea but you have all day to take in the sea view so don't need the view to sleep!

Friendly staff, outside area when sun's out, good choice from menu

Spot on food and dog friendly, don't need much more

Completely disappointing! The burger and fries came on a thin block of wood which made eating it very difficult. The portion sizes were tiny. Food was tasty (what there was).
Thought a nice hotel on Arran would be more upmarket than having people dining in their sportswear. Dogs being allowed in the area people eat is unsanitary.
Definitely gone downhill from out last visit.

Stopped for some nibbles before catching the ferry back.....good food in a nice garden in the sun. Definitely want to try spending a few nights here.

Fantastic location, friendly staff, lovely food and perfect rooms. What more could you ask for!

Another great stay at this amazing hotel in Brodick. Stayed in the balcony suite which is a huge riom. Food excellent and staff courteous, well dressed and efficient.

Recently refurbished, didn't stay but had a nice meal.

Really good dinner and staff were great!

Although should offer breakfast to non-residents. Little Rock cafe was packed sat and sun morning - missing a trick!

This is always a stopping point for us when visiting Arran. Great bar area and the food was lovely. Sadly we've never stayed but hopefully we will on day

Food is good but in the bar it was hellish loud. Unfortunately we did not find a place to eat in the bistro.

Lovely Hotel. Ideal location to see the whole island. Lovely food and large bedrooms

Fantastic wedding staff are amazing will visit again
