Nice room, mostly nice people

Room was lovely, great view from hotel, a little unfortunate that room was above smoking area so room smelt a little bit in the evening. Staff were kind apart from one who we unfortunately had to deal with at dinner and at check out.

Adjacent building rooms sadly mediocre

We booked a "Double Room", and on our arrival were taken to the adjacent building (this was not specified in our booking). The room looked like someone's badly maintained and not very clean spare room. Lack of gas supply meant there was no hot water from the tap (so washing our hands in February was painful), the radiators didn't work (instead there were two noisy portable heaters which made sleeping very difficult). There were spiderwebs everywhere, the bed was very uncomfortable. Since this clearly didnt match what we booked, we asked reception for a resolution but they didn't have any free equivalent rooms and didn't want to upgrade us to something better. Overall a real disappointment - the only saving point was the view which was very pretty. I don't doubt the proper "double rooms" in the main building are gorgeous, but we weren't given those. To think that the price is the same between the two is unacceptable. A real shame as this was our first holiday in ages.

The Glenisle Hotel is located in Lamlash with a stunning view across to the Holy Isle- from the top room. Central, and convenient for other eateries and bars, with a Co-op Market a short walk. Hotel was spotless and comfortable, with staff friendly and welcoming. Carpark was small, but enough space at front to park on road. A nice seat across from Hotel front entrance to take in the view 🤗

I was visiting Arran with my Australian niece and wanted her to fall in love with Scotland. Arran is the place for that (it’s called Scotland in miniature with its mountainous north island and rolling hills of the south). The Glenisle Hotel is back to its best. Years ago it has been great but went downhill after a change of owner. Well, it’s changed hands again, and the staff are so friendly and accommodating. I’m glad we opted for the superior twin room which was incredibly spacious, comfortable, modern, and also had the most wonderful view across the water to the Holy Isle. The prices were good too. There are lots of other places to eat in Lamlash too (The Pierhead Tavern and the Drift Inn) so there’s plenty of variety if you’re staying for a while. Couldn’t recommend more highly!

Fantastic and amazing value for money

Brilliant stay and we look forward to staying again - and have already recommended to family. Rooms large, warm, comfortable and quiet. Views over Lamlash are amazing. The lady who runs the hotel was so incredibly helpful, coffees in the room in the morning, helping with electric car charger - nothing was too much and met with a smile. Breakfast was AMAZING too!
