My wife & I had a loved time on Arran and we found Dunvegan House to be in an excellent location where everything that Brodick had to offer was within walking distance. The proprietor and staff were friendly and helpful. Our room, perhaps a little dated, was spotlessly clean, had TV, tea/coffee making facilities and a fabulous sea view. It was it was refreshed each day and was given fresh towels daily. We didn’t use the communal lounge, but it looked comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Personally, I would have liked to have seen black pudding and/or a haggis slice as part of the “Full Scottish Breakfast” but there was fruit, cereal and yoghurt’s available.
Due to very poor weather we could not get a ferry for our return home, so returned to Dunvegan House and and luckily was given our room back for an extra night. We did manage to get on a ferry the following day after a 03:30 rise and a 14 mile drive to Lochranza to ensure a space on the first crossing to Claonaig which was scheduled to leave at 08:15 but again, due to weather conditions, eventually left at around 11:15
