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!

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.

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

Fantastic hotel to be recommended
It was our first trip ever with a newborn baby and everything at Glenisle Hotel was fantastic. The staff was just amazing, super helpful and accommodating for our baby needs. The room was impeccably clean and the restaurant so good that we decided to eat there not only for breakfasts but dinners as well.
