It said it was refurbished but a lot of chipped paintwork in our bedroom and the bathroom tap made a terrible noise when we turned it on. We had paid £200 per night for this room. The seating in the restaurant was stained also We arrived back at 1040pm on our first night and the bar was closed although the barmaid was sitting there she refused to serve us. The girl who served at breakfast was really helpful. Very disappointed as we had stayed there a few years ago and had a lovely time The photographs on the website showed a comfortable library with an open fire which did not exist

Absolutely stunning view from our room. Bed super comfortable. No wifi in the room only in public areas (did say this on booking when I checked but just in case you don’t check) We were in room 8. Big room but no decor whatsoever. Curtain for a toilet door. Toilet seat not secure. Dangerous shower going scalding hot then freezing cold every few seconds. Did tell the reception staff. I couldn’t have a body shower due to this. Had to keep dipping my head in and out the shower every few seconds to get the soap off. My husband is a plumber and became aware of what was happening quickly whereas there could be someone in the shower who would get badly burnt unexpectedly. Staff did say they would get this rectified. Staff friendly. Breakfast average.

Hotel was clean and comfortable, staff very friendly. Food was acceptable. The only tiny issue I had was that although the bathroom was clean, a few tiles around the bath needed the grouting cleaned as it was a bit black. But overall it didn’t detract from our stay and I would recommend the hotel.

Quaint hotel in little village of Lamlash. Room was very clean with nice bed/bedding just a bit tight and very low ceilings due to the dormer windows. Some renovation and painting going on which would have been good to know in advance. Breakfast was very good and great selection included with the room. All things considered, a good value and decent for a couple nights in Arran.

I ordered this hotel but by the time I arrived at the ferry terminal ,it was closed for the evening ,,so I did not make it to the hotel , but I was fully charged for the overnight stay , l did try and contact them the next day but couldn’t get through until Monday ,as their was a glitch in the system ,but I tried to explained the dilemma,,but they said I couldn’t get a refund … if I had known I needed to get a ferry I wouldn’t have booked ,,,,,. So I am not happy …

Lovely spot!
It's a lovely place in an even lovelier location. Breakfast was fantastic, the rooms were warm and comfortable even if on the small side (for the standard ones we had) but we were lucky to get availability so last minute!

The staff are really what make this hotel. They are attentive but not intrusive and nothing is too much trouble. Nath was charming and knowledgeable. Our room was clean ans fresh with shower gel and shampoo supplied. Bed was comfortable. Food was delicious with a good choice of menu..Breakfast was included and plentiful. No hesitation in returning to Glenisle if back on Arran!

Staff - welcoming and helpful. More staffing required. Location/view - beautiful. Food - above average. Accommodation certainly not the standard or as illustrated as a “superior room” on the hotel website - small bed,, basic furniture and seating requiring upgrade. Shower was a dribble with an inconsistent temperature.
