Best Western Kinloch Hotel

I got a very good deal on a single room for a weekend stay at the start of my holiday on Arran. I've been going to Arran for holidays on and off since 1971 and have often visited the hotel for a meal or a drink but have never stayed there. I was well rewarded; everything was fine, the hotel was very comfortable, the food was excellent as was their own-brand beer, Uisge Dhu ( Black water; the hotel is at Blackwaterfoot) , and wine. The staff are very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The view across the Kilbrannan Sound to the Mull of Kintyre and beyond from the large picture-window in the restaurant is absolutely matchless. There is nothing quite as romantic as watching the sun set over Kintyre with a fishing boat making it's way up the sound and a good glass of Arran malt after an excellent dinner. Going for a week next time with my partner. 😊😊 Many thanks to all staff. less

Revisiting the island to share my memories and create new ones with my daughter and on recommendation chose the Kinloch. We were not disappointed. A friendly welcome and approachable staff ensured a pleasant stay. We had a sea view twin which was comfortable and had everything you would usually expect (teas, coffees, toiletries etc). We didn't get the opportunity to use the leisure facilities, to busy sight seeing, eating and socialising! The views from our room and the restaurant towards the sea were outstanding, even on a blustery day. Service in both the residents bar and public bar was good and staff were attentive in both the restaurant at dinner and at breakfast dining. Eating dinner early can save you a few pennies as they discounted some meals between 5-6pm. Worth a phone call direct to the hotel to see if they have any special accomodation/ferry deals on especially over the winter months. One night was not enough for my daughter so we will be back for a longer stay. less

Stopped a couple of nights at the Kinloch Hotel with no great expectations but left pleasantly surprised. Staff were attentive without being servile which I like. The check in process was quick and simple. Our room (32) had a great view of the sea. The bed was very comfortable. The en suite shower was hot and powerful. The toilet roll holder does require you to be a bit of a contortionist! We had the evening meal both nights and were impressed with the quality - especially the Seafood pie and the Haunch of Venison. Breakfast was well cooked and plentiful less

Had one night at this hotel, like everyone else we could not fault the staff who were very friendly and very attentive to our needs. Our room was good overlooking the water, however the bathroom does need a bit of an upgrade, although both room and bathroom very clean. Had a bit of a problem with husbands evening meal where the venison was firstly overlooked then when replaced was not a tender cut. However staff apologies and gave us free drinks so not much to complain about all in all. Would definitely return to this hotel less

A group of 16 ladies from local golf courses around Kirkcaldy travelled to Arran staying in the Best Western for 2 nights dinner bed and breakfast last weekend. The hotel was wonderful, staff very helpful and the food was first class. I would recommend the hot smoked salmon and crayfish starter.... it was amazing. We will definately go back next year... planning the visit already less
