In-Depth Information
Royal Arran Hotel££
( 01770-700286; www.royalarran.co.uk ; Shore Rd, Whiting Bay; s £55, d £95-110;
) This personalised, intimate spot has just four rooms. The double upstairs is our idea
of accommodation heaven - four-poster bed, big heavy linen, a huge room and gorgeous
water views. Room No 1 downstairs is a great size and has a private patio. The hosts
couldn't be more welcoming (except to kids under 12, who aren't permitted).
B&B
Lagg Hotel££
( 01770-870255; www.lagghotel.com ; Kilmory; s/d £48/85; ) An 18th-century
coach house, this inn has a beautiful location and is the perfect place for a romantic week-
end away from the cares of modern life. Rooms are smart and up-to-date; grab a superior
one (£95) with garden views. There's also a cracking beer garden, a fine bar with log fire
and an elegant restaurant (mains £10 to £14).
HOTEL
Viewbank House££
( 01770-700326; www.viewbank-arran.co.uk ; Whiting Bay; s £30-33, d £60-76;
) Appropriately named, this friendly place does indeed have tremendous views from its
vantage point high above Whiting Bay. Rooms, of which there are a variety with and
without bathroom, are tastefully furnished and well kept. It's well signposted from the
main road. You can book an evening meal here (BYOB).
B&B
Sealshore Campsite£
( 01770-820320; www.campingarran.com ; sites per adult/child £6/3, per tent £1-4;
) Living up to its name, this excellent small campsite is right by sea (and, happily, the
Kildonan Hotel) with one of Arran's finest views from its grassy camping area. There's a
good washroom area with heaps of showers, kitchen facilities, and the breeze keeps the
midges away.
CAMPING
Coast££
( 01770-700308; www.coastarran.co.uk ; Shore Rd, Whiting Bay; mains £10-15;
lunch Thu-Tue, dinner Thu-Sat) This funky place decked out in suave red tones and with a
sun-drenched conservatory on the water's edge serves grills, seafood and salads in the
evening, with lighter offerings during the day. Opens Wed & Sun evenings in summer too.
