We were very impressed with all aspects of this hotel - in particular, the staff did everything they could to help and were unfailingly pleasant and cheerful. Good choice of food at breakfast time (cooked breakfast excellent) and lovely evening meals - the venison was particularly memorable, as were the desserts. Provided packed lunches for us too, and if you... More

I have been here several times and always want to come again when I need a life-line break. The owner/manager and all the staff are so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Everything about the hotel is of excellent quality with high standards throughout. Great food, especially the breakfast.

By the sea, seals from the windows, but a bit 60s in need of an upgrade. Food not bad but the buffet style breakfast for hot food means all a bit warm and cooked some time ago. Staff excellent and helpful, there was a lounge near reception that needed sofas and warmth to make it welcoming so that the choice... More

A party of 32 walkers stayed in the Kinloch Hotel from 29 April to 29 May. The location is terrific for access to Arran's Hills and the hotel exceeded our expectations. It was clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was excellent - especially the cooked breakfasts! Facilities were also good with a nice pool... More

Fantastic location and very friendly staff. Close to wonderful (Shiskine) golf course, one of the best in the UK, and easy access to the rest of the Island. Favourite of the locals which is usually a good sign but there is little competition here. Good wholesome food and average service. Tired decor but not too bad value for money. Would... More

We were on holiday in Arran and decided to go for a swim. Unfortunately Auchranie had set times for non residents, therefore we drove over the string road to Blackwaterfoot. The pool itself isn't as nice as Auchranie but is less than half the price. I think a sauna and steam room is also available and I noted a Squash... More

Once again, we had wonderful service and excellent food on our trip. The kids love going (especially for the ice cream!) and love to eat in the hotel after a swim, it means even the large portions they are given usually disappear! Small things, such as the kids food coming out on cool plates, make such a difference to a... More

Due to bad weather and no power at home , moved inti this wonderful local hotel. This establishment is what family run community based hotels are all about. Generator providing heat, hot food and water to anyone who needs it. A great response from the Crawford family and their staff. Well done!

Stayed for 2 nights earlier this month. A friendly, relaxed atmosphere belies a well- oiled machine. They work very hard at creating the right atmosphere. Staff are friendly but not in-your-face. The room was to the front offering view of the Kintyre peninsula and the seals! It was a basic double room with all that you need. The toilet/bathroom is... More
