There are numerous outdoor activities available on the spectacular island, including walking, cycling, golf, and kayaking.
Arran is also unique in the number of quality produce that is made on the island, including Arran Aromatics toiletries, Arran Cheese, Whisky and Arran beer.

Here’s what some recent guests had to say:
“Myself and my boyfriend have stayed twice at The Douglas and it is our perfect happy place. The location is amazing, the staff are so friendly, the food is delicious, the service is warm and the rooms are so comfortable and clean. We won’t stay anywhere else whenever we come to Arran – the Douglas is perfect and meets our expectations every time!”
“Stayed for one night this week – a last minute booking when we saw a window in the weather for a couple of days’ cycling on the island. We had been recommended the restaurant by a friend, but the whole experience was really good. The room was very large and airy with an equally large bathroom. Very comfortable bed and a window that opened. Staff were professional but friendly and welcoming. Food in the bar was delicious – we had the Malaysian curry and the seafood tagliatelle whilst looking over the bay in the evening sunshine. Nice beers too. Breakfast was perfect and we stopped for a quick drink on our way back to the ferry after our second day of cycling only to find that one of the ferries had been cancelled, so with a few hours to spare we decided to have lunch, which was every bit as good as our meal the night before! Will be back!”
Enchanting stay
Kicking back on a ferry journey over the gorgeous Firth of Clyde. Sipping a locally crafted gin while overlooking gorgeous bay views. Taking a trip around the island and swooping up artisan, locally crafted whiskey, lotions and cheese.
