OK, wenn nicht der volle Preis in der Hochsaison gezahlt werden muss.
Pros:

Sehr nette und freundliche Mitarbeitende. Die Lage direkt am Meer war super - perfekt um am morgen einen Sprung ins Meer zu wagen. Wer mit dem Auto anreist, findet ausreichen Parkplätze, die nicht kostenpflichtig sind.

Cons:

Ich reise in der Hochsaison an, das war mir sehr bewusst. Ich reiste alleine aber das Zimmer war zwar sauber aber sehr klein und mit einem Einzelbett ausgestattet. Das Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen. Die Preis-Leistung war für mich nicht erfüllt, ich hatte mir aufgrund der Bilder mehr erwartet.

One night in Arran!
Pros:

We found the staff to be helpful and friendly.
The location of the hotel is great with stunning sea views across to the Argyll coast.
The food in the restaurant was tasty, we enjoyed our dinner and breakfast in the restaurant.

Cons:

A minor issue - due to the sunny and hot weather - the bedroom was really warm and made it difficult to get to sleep.

Relaxing one night break.
Pros:

The location is stunning and the views from the lounges, restaurant and most bedrooms over to the Mull of Kintyre are amazing.

Cons:

The rooms were very hot and it was difficult to sleep but it was exceptionally hot weather.
Was also disappointed that if I had booked the hotel direct it would have included breakfast but with Booking.com it didn’t.

All round, looking forward to our next stay
Pros:

All round brilliant stay….friendly knowledgeable staff, excellent location, relaxed atmosphere! The otter in the river next to the car park, plus the weather was an added bonus! Thank you all!

Cons:

Room was a little hot… but hey ho, it was an exceptionally hot period. A fan in the room would have made it a little less uncomfortable! Maybe they are available on request, but didn’t detract from an all round brilliant stay
