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

Stayed here for 2 nights in October 2008. We were given a wonderful welcome, along with complimentary tea, coffee and cakes, by Adele.

We stayed at the Royal Arran Hotel for 2 nights in April and was extremely impressed by the standard of the accomodation, the hospitality and the service.
