The Douglas Hotel

Fantastic hotel! We walked the coastal path, which is not for the faint hearted! Coming back to The Douglas after 17 miles walking was just the tonic. Friendly, welcoming staff, gorgeous room, delicious food, comfy beds, spotless rooms and delicious breakfast was just what was needed. Thank you to all the staff that made us feel so welcome

We stayed here for 2 nights during our 3 week touring holiday of Scotland. The Douglas hotel is just a Minutes drive from the ferry terminal. It has a very modern vibe and is decorated and furnished to a high standard. Our room was lovely - both the sleeping area and the bathroom were very spacious. It was one of the more expensive places we stayed at but we felt it was worth it! It was nice to have big mugs for our early morning in room cuppa - we found most places have smaller cups on their hospitality trays. Our only negative was that we did experience some nighttime noise which we later found out came from the hotel laundry. If TA allowed half points, I’d deduct half a point for this. But a lovely hotel overall which we were sorry to leave.

We had a wonderful stay at The Douglas. We were kindly upgraded to the amazing Goat Fell suit which was luxurious, with beautiful panoramic views, a very comfy bed and travel cot for our little one. The bathroom was huge, with lovely fluffy towels and dressing gowns. Breakfast was delicious and we also had a lovely evening meal in the restaurant. We walked straight off the ferry and the bus stop is close by, you really don't need a car.

The Douglas occupies a magnificent position overlooking the promenade in Brodick. It is quite expensive to get a room with a sea view but, having taken the plunge and booked, we had no regrets at all. The room had the wow factor we were looking for and made the stay that bit more special. We enjoyed the breakfasts and the evening meals. The food and the service were both high quality.

Stayed at the Douglas this week on a quick visit to Arran. Very well kept hotel, pleasant staff, comfortable room. The food was superb, my wife is a vegan and there was choice and great quality for her too. Everything was great and we will definitely be back.

We spent 3 nights here having lost 1 night thanks to storm Kathryn and cancelled ferries. We were grateful for the flexible booking as we were able to cancel in advance (48 hours notice needed) and didn’t need to pay for a room we were unable to get to. Location is great and you can see the ferry port from the hotel. We booked a sea view anticipating we may have to shelter indoors and a lovely view would help. All the team were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our breakfast with good buffet selection and cooked too. Our room was generous with good storage and the biggest bathroom I think we have ever had as it was an accessible room. The shower was over the bath and wasn’t up to the same standard as the rest of the room as it had low pressure. Conditioner wasn’t provided so if you need it take some. We ate in the bistro one night and the bar another. Food was of a really good standard and we preferred the bar’s atmosphere. Excellent drink selection available. I think in the summer as our room overlooked the bar patio area there could be some noise. I could hear music on our first night but it didn’t go on too late. Just something to consider if you are a light sleeper. We would certainly use this hotel again and were pleased with our choice.

I paid £160 B&B in room 108. The room was to the side with a brick wall for a view. Outside the large window, which you cannot open is a corrugated roof of another part of the building. It rained throughout the night and it felt like i was sleeping in a bus shelter due to the noise. The room has been tastlefully decorated however tired. The large bathroom has a very small shower head and no pressure whatsoever which was very dissapointing as the bath sloped which meant an uncomfortable shower. Room 108 is on the 1st floor and you can hear people in the rooms beside and above, tv's, snoring, very creaky floors above. Ive been coming to Arran 3/4 times a year and this is the 1st at the Douglas. I wont stay again as its overpriced. For the money, stay at the Auchrannie, its got so much more to offer.

Too be treated like 2nd class citizens, This is the place to go, so full of very ignorant staff ,today we were moved from our seats during our lunch to make way for a larger party,not once but twice, perhaps a few courses in manners wouldn't go wrong,due to the ferries being delayed and cancelled this year has had a reaction to customers, if the owner or managent reply too this don't waste your time ,as its true.

Superb dinner and service in a lovely, busy atmosphere. Can not highly recommend enough. Compliments to the wonderful chef, you do an amazing job and are very much appreciated. There was a lively feel to the place which enhanced our experience and endorses the fact that this is a popular place to dine.
