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!

Beautiful Seaview in Arran

The Glenisle is a cozy place with friendly staff. We had a Seaview room looking out to Holy Isle which was stunning. We were there during storm Eowyne so had a day where we had too stay indoors but it didn’t spoil our trip as everyone is so friendly and chatty. Joy the owner was always on hand and Daz the maintenance man really funny with a lot interesting chats. My only downside would be is due to it being an older hotel there is no lift and difficult for people with walking disability to conquer the stairs which can be a bit dark in places but Joy was always willing to assist with luggage etc . Great ambiance

Great location within Lamlash, being close to everything and very affordable. Our room was decent size however, we found the stains on the sheets and the bathroom window was held shut with nails (handle must have been broken) and it let a lot of draughts and smells in. The bed mattress also probably needs replacing.

The Glenisle is a fabulous hotel. The view of the from our bedroom room was just stunning and the morning sunrise was spectacular. The hotel staff were all an absolute delight, and couldn’t do enough to be of help, and to top it all off, the breakfast choices were first class.

Would highly recommend a stay within the Glendale Hotel. Staff here go way beyond to ensure they meet all your needs. Rooms are perfect and prepared for guests to a very high standard.

Very nice hotel that feels like home. A bit in need of refurbishment, however, this tiny tint of time makes the place somewhat special. Fantastic breakfast, absolutely brilliant staff.
