From the welcome to the departure a fabulous experience. The hosts could not have done more to make our 2 day break comfortable and enjoyable. The setting is to die for, the tea and cake on arrival scruptious, the quality of the breakfast was of the highest standard and Adele's baking heavenly! We will return as often as possible, if...

We chose to stay at the Royal Arran, based entirely on the reviews on TripAdvisor, so high standards were expected. We were delighted to find that all our expectations were met in full. Adele and Peter are every bit as charming and attentive as reports indicate. Their lovely hotel is beautifully kept and to a standard that few can match.... More

This is a lovely B&B in a house with loads of charm. Adele was a wonderful host. During our first breakfast she pulled out a map of the island and gave us tips on places to see. Unfortunately, I fell sick during my stay and Adele really tried to make things as comfortable for me as possible with a hot... More

Great location and views across the shoreline to Whiting Bay. Take your binoculars to breakfast and watch seabirds and the occasional seal..or otter if you're lucky. Breakfast is scrumptious and do have porridge. Rooms are very comfortable, clean and well thought out, with lots of good touches you don't notice at first. Adele and Peter are great fun, lovely hosts... More

This hotel B&B is owned and run by Adele and Peter, who have moved to Arran to enjoy a different kind of life. There was nothing whatsoever that Adele of Peter could have done to make our stay more comfortable. We arrived with wet washing that I hung out in the bathroom (as we hadn't managed to get everything dry... More

Fantastic hosts, very welcoming and all the little touches made it very special for a honeymooning couple. We even had our breakfast table covered in rose petals on our last day. The bedtimes stories and the treats for the day were brilliant. Thank you for a wonderful stay. More

I can thoroughly recommend this beautiful hotel where I stayed for 2 nights whilst on a walking holiday in Arran. Adele and Peter are wonderful hosts with a fantastic attention to detail. I was welcomed on arrival by Adele and by the time I had finished unpacking she had set up afternoon tea for me on the lawn! The room... More

My wife and I are Innkeepers in Canada so we tend to be a bit discerning in our travels and this property was excellent. We spent 3 days exploring the Island and would highly recommend anyone heading this way to head here. We had the added bonus of a ceildh (spelling?) which happened at the Eden Pub just south of...

Just spent 5 nights at the Royal and it was just superb. Adele and Peter are great hosts and couldn't do enough for us. They set high standards for themselves and delivered on all fronts- the attention to detail was exceptional - the rooms and bathrooms are pristine and the breakfast was great. On top of that, Adele did a... More

Stayed as part of a golfing holiday. The location and standard of the hotel are first class. Adele and Peter can't do enough for you. Would definitely stay again. More
