We have just returned from a 3 night stay at the Kilmichael; I cannot recall my wife and I feeling so relaxed in a hotel. This was particularly significant as we experienced very wet weather on the island and we spent more time in the hotel than we would have otherwise done. Helen escorted us to our room; we arrived... more

Having spent one night camping at the Kildonnan Camp Site we spent our second night at the Kilmichael. The staff were gay-friendly and made us feel welcome. Unfortunately, dinner wasn't available that night and we took the early ferry back to the mainland the next morning, so we didn't have a chance to try the breakfast (though were given a... more

My wife and I came over for a long weekend in April, staying in the Forest room. This was our first time staying at the Kilmichael and we would definitely go back. We really felt that we were staying in a country house rather than a hotel. The small size and the friendly owners and staff made it a memorable... more

We stayed here overnight at the start of the Kilmichael's season. As a lifelong Arran visitor, I've heard only wonderful things about the food and was delighted to experience it for myself. The meal we were served was sublime- and most of it sourced from the owners' pottager, stock of chickens and other fowl and the Island as a whole.... more

Booked this short break to try and escape from all the stresses of moving house and was cautious about what we would find after reading some slightly indifferent reviews about the accomodation. THEY WERE WRONG! This is a wonderful hotel run by superb owners and excellent employees. Our stay was wonderful and only ruined by having to leave. The food... more

We had a lovely room but it was small , and the shortbread and whisky did not I am afraid make up for the small bathroom, the shower in the bath and the tiny TV. The view was of the opposite room and a very tired garden. It was April so they had winter to spruce up the fencing chairs... more

We stayed for only one night, using Arran as a "stepping stone" whilst travelling home from Kintyre to England - but we wished we could have stayed much longer, and will certainly be back. A fascinating building, with lovely sitting and drawing rooms and interesting antiques, and a warm welcome from the staff. Our bedroom had a four poster bed... more

We stayed at Kilmichael for two nights in September, on our way to friends in Inverness-shire. It was our first visit to the delightful Island of Arran, having seen it umpteen times from the north coast of County Antrim. It did not disappoint - beautiful scenery, an abundance of wildlife [think red deer, golden eagles] and plenty to see and... more

Selected this place because of its character and previous reviews and it was well worth it. A delightful old house beautifully refurbished and looked after. The welcome was friendly and sincere and the room (The Smithy in our case) was very nice, beautifully decorated and clean. Dinner was oustanding with probably the best service I have ever had. I would... more
