The Douglas Hotel

Excellent hotel. Room very comfortable. Can’t fault the hotel. Location and views exquisate

Beautifully modernised hotel conveniently located in BrodIick across the road from the ferry terminal with Co-op adjacent and other shops within walking distance. Brodick Castle and Glen Rosa campsite start points for hill walks 2 miles away. Rooms are modern and immaculate with smart flat panel TV, comfortable bed and hot beverage facility, iron and board Shower over high awkward sided bath with Arran aromatic toiletries. A lift to access the two upper floors.Friendly attentive staff. Excellently presented and tasty food in Bistro and pub with outdoor dining on sunny days with views of bay Free wi-fi throughout, even outside. Free parking. Not aimed at family market but couples and not cheap but worth it.

We went to Arran to support our son taking part in the first Rat Race Ultra Tour of Arran. It is a wonderful place to stay. Great location close to the Brodick ferry terminal and for exploring the island.

A pleasant, well-positioned hotel of some historical significance a minute's walk from the seafront and Brodick ferry terminal and hence a useful base for exploring Arran. Our bedroom was very large and well-equipped, so too was the bathroom. There were some nice touches: the decor, the plastic duck my daughter could keep, the good quality shampoo and shower gel, the bathrobes and slippers, the immense television screen (though personally I dislike television). The bed was, well, rather lumpy and the duvet far too hot, probably because it was made of artificial fibres. Turn the mattress, guys, or change it! There was a very pleasant pub with good views on he ground floor, there was a good range of beers and wines and the food was good but not exceptional and priced moderately. Reception was friendly and helpful and the service throughout our stay good. I would certainly stay there again, and hope in better weather (even the Douglas can't control that!)

The Rooms at the Douglas are superb, we had 105, no view to speak of. But the room is well appointed with all the facilities you require. The dining areas are ok, as you would expect for a mid range hotel. Bar was busy and clearly popular. Recent modernisation in a contemporary fashion was obvious, a great deal of money had been spent. Not a cheap hotel mid £150s for a night you expect some degree of opulence! On the sea front in Brodick, it is a 5min walk to the ferry terminal and local coop. Several shops and coffee shops also along the sea front and an easy walk.

Booked the Banner Lodge as I had stayed in the Douglas many years ago and was keen to go back after the refurbishment. The lodge provided the accomdation for a family of four to stay together. The Lodge is a beautifully rennovated little cottage that provided the privacy and space you would get from a holiday let, also allowing hot drink facilities. Lots of lovely little touches that made our stay comfortable. The children loved the space and the mezzanine bedroom is beautifully done - it does get a little warm up there at night! We really enjoyed our stay with the benefit of all the hotel facilities should we want them. The bistro for dinner was wonderful. My only slight negatives were the bathroom. It is a wetroom and lacked the luxury feel of the rest of the lodge - and the shower is really poor with either hot water or pressure. The boiler is also situated in the mezzanine bedroom and is a little noisy. I would definitely recommend the Lodge or the hotel itself. The staff are all really friendly and welcoming and it is positioned well to explore the wonderful Island of Arran.

Outstanding welcome at reception. Good sized rooms. Dining experience very good. Good selection of dishes available and served with creative presentation. Helpful staff.

Very clean, great service and the restaurant has great food

The hotel was amazing although we did complain about the view into a back yard that had rubbish in it and was overgrown by weeds. We were immediately upgraded to a sea view room.The staff are very friendly and the food was superb. I would certainly recommend this hotel on the beautiful isle of Arran.

My partner and I had a lovely stay at the Douglas Hotel for a Valentine’s treat. On arrival the friendly receptionist greeted us and advised that we’d been upgraded to one of the sea view executive suites! What a nice surprise. The room was great, so spacious, plush pillows and comfortable bed. The bathroom was very big, all modern and Arran Aromatics toiletries. The bar had a great buzz about it in the evening and a smashing selection of gins. Tastefully decorated throughout, would recommend it to anyone looking for a weekend break!
