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 and get the balance just right; they also know all the good restaurants and places to go..
We have no hesitation in recommending The Royal Arran and look forward to going back when we get the opportunity. Delightful place and people.

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 after a quick visit to the launderette on the mainland after the first half of our trip sailing. Adele noticed, took it all down, tumble dried it and placed it in our room with a note (hope you don't mind!!) all folded beautifully by the time we had returned from dinner. I guess some people would have just asked, but I didn't like to - however was very grateful.

Breakfast was absolutely superb. Much more than I could eat, but fruit (beautifully presented) yogurts, cereal, scottish cooked breakfast, coffee made just perfectly ( I am very fussy with my coffee)all in a breakfast room where views of Holy Isle and the beach gave the eyes plenty to feast on.

Both Adele and Peter know the area very well and could not have been more helpful with bus timetables and connections - Adele even offering to drive us to Brodick. There was plentiful supply of any tourist info you could want and honestly anything that someone might need.

We had the garden room, which had a lovely patio and stable door. The flowers were beautiful and the view of the sea lovely. I was sitting quietly and a small Robin just landed by my shoulder on the fence. Really lovely.

There are lots of nice little surprises and nice touches which I won't give away - but all went a long way to justifying the £110 per night (for two of us) and I haven't even mentioned the location yet.

The only negative thing I could mention from my stay here was that I didn't sleep too well. At home we have a kingsize with memory foam mattress and our bed was smaller and springier. However, beds are a personal preference and that whatever there is I know that you can never please everyone all of the time. By the end of our stay we had got used to it - and of course the crisp clean sheets and lovely throw and duvet really were lovely.

On last thing to mention - The living room. We bought books and magazines, a bottle of wine from The Royal Arran (presented beautifully with crystal glasses), sat ourselves down on the two lovely sofa's looking out to sea just reading and chatting and drinking. The sofa's were so gorgeously comfy and it felt like such a treat. We had eaten early for two evenings came home and just relaxed. This was just heavenly. Great views, comfort, great wine and quiet. Really nice memories.....

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.

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 was lovely - spotlessly clean with a view of the sea (the views from the hotel are stunning) and a locally made chocolate on the bedside table! The breakfasts each morning were delicious and filling and afterwards Adele gave us a freshly baked cake to take away with us for the day! A good example of how well they look after you came about when I returned from a wonderful but wet walk around the coast. Adele must have spotted me returning and by the time I came through the door she had brewed a hot cup of tea for me to take to my room! Thank you to you both for a great stay - I'm looking forward to coming back already!
