| This may well be the most beautiful location on Arran | Set in the beautiful village of Lamlash on the Isle of Arran, this traditional Scottish hotel with its gables and whitewashed walls looks directly across the sea to the Holy Isle. To the side is the hotel's terrace and walled garden which also face the sea and make an ideal spot to relax with a coffee or a drink or simply to enjoy the view.
The entire hotel has been recently refurbished in a fresh style which compliments the age of the building and its island location. |
| The Hotel | Roooms Most of the 13 rooms have direct or indirect sea views and all are en-suite. There is a choice of double (most with king-size beds), twin, single and family rooms.
Restaurant The Glenisle Restaurant is popular with locals and visitors alike for its excellent cuisine, relaxing atmosphere and friendly service. The menu focuses on modern classics made from local ingredients and is constantly changing to reflect the seasonal availability of different foods.
The Terrace The Glenisle Terrace has spectacular views over Lamlash Bay to the Holy Isle. Enjoy lunch, morning coffee or afternoon tea and cakes (including cream tea with scones and locally made jam) while enjoying the view.
The Snug The Snug is proving a popular place for relaxing with coffee, tea, or drinks either during the afternoon or after a restaurant dinner. The area features exposed, sandstone walls and a large, original fireplace which was used for domestic cooking when this part of the hotel was actually the local police station.
Residents' Lounge The residents' lounge has comfortable arm chairs to curl up in, a selection of books and games should you so desire and windows which look over the sea towards the Holy Isle. It's the perfect place to meet friends and unwind.
The Walled Garden To the side of the hotel is a large, historic, walled garden which provides an oasis of calm around the hotel. Many of the bedrooms as well as the restaurant have views of the garden with its colourful flowering shrubs, expanse of lawn and towering palm trees.

| Location | | Known as Scotland in miniature due to its mountainous north and lowland south the Isle of Arran lies in the Firth of Clyde, enabling it to combine a feeling of remoteness with easy accessibility to central Scotland. Arran offers much for visitors, ranging from some of the best mountaineering and hill-walking to be found in Scotland, other sporting activities such as fishing or golf on its 7 golf courses, specialist interests such as ornithology and geology or for the less energetic simply exploring one of Scotland’s most beautiful and unspoilt islands. Brodick Castle and its gardens in the hands of the National Trust for Scotland is a must for all visitors, as is the distillery at Lochranza with its Visitors' Centre which offers tours and the chance to sample the unique Arran Malt. |
