What a wonderful hotel. It is not every hotel that we were able to enjoy breakfast with prophetess, David, Steph and their handsome wee sons. The staff were magnificent. Nothing was too much for them. They were courteous and fun too. Our two wee dogs were treated with lots of love. The food is delicious, especially the 'blade of beef' dish. A melt-in-your-mouth steak. The view from our room over Holy Isle was magnificent. Breakfast was superb also with plenty of variety. You do choose your breakfast in advance. This was genuinely one of the finest 'dog-friendly' hotels we have ever stayed at and we have stayed in many. We simply loved our stay at The Lamlash Bay Hotel!!!

Was easy to locate and parking was easy enough. Very friendly and informative staff at reception who informed us of everything we needed to know. Room was far more spacious than the pictures showed and very clean. View from the room was incredible. Despite the rain and wind when we stayed the room was peaceful and quiet allowing us to get a great sleep and recharge. Breakfast was really good and the selection was a good choice. Staff again courteous and friendly. Overall atmosphere made us feel relaxed and content so would highly recommend.

Booked last minute as we were stranded on Arran when the ferry was cancelled with no place to stay. Finding a place for 7 people and 2 dogs was tricky on the island last minute but we were very lucky to find them. Very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Very sad we were only there for 12 hours. We will definitely be back again in the future. Lovely place with amazing views.

A last minute booking due to a ferry cancellation. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful providing us with anything we needed (we had come for a day trip and had no luggage). Comfortable and clean rooms and excellent breakfast in the morning. I will be booking again when I come back to the Island.

Well what a gem we found on Arran when we stayed for a family wedding. The rooms are well appointed little things like enough milk for several drinks smart rooms even if you are in one of the smaller ones, clean and comfortable. From the moment you check in and they offer help with your bags you know it's going to be a happy stay. A little touch pre ordering the next days breakfast so the juice and fruit is ready for you add to the class of this hotel. Easy to see how they won Channel 4s 4 in a bed show. Book in you will enjoy it we look forward to staying again. Ohh did i mention how friendly and welcoming ALL the staff were from breakfast to the bar all wonderful.

Best views in Arran. Clean and cosy with a snug bar frequented by locals and well managed restaurant with a great menu for both breakfast and dinner. Stayed for three nights and faultless service throughout. Thanks so much for having us :)

We had a great stay at the Lamlash Bay Hotel, all the staff were warm and welcoming and really attentive to us. We ate in the bar as we had our dog with us, and whilst it was extremely busy due to Halloween celebrations, the atmosphere was friendly and good natured. We had a lovely suprise with a room upgrade, so we had a grandstand view of the bonfire!
