First Class
Would highly recommend a stay within the Glendale Hotel. Staff here go way beyond to ensure they meet all your needs. Rooms are perfect and prepared for guests to a very high standard. Food is first class from breakfast to evening meal. Could not fault a single thing during our stay here. Thank you to all staff especially the gentleman who checked us in and out. Staying here definitely made our trip to Arran a great experience. Carrie-Anne and Brian x

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.

The Hotel was very easy to reach from the ferry port at Brodick. On arrival, I was checked in by a friendly member of their team and shown up to my room - a single room on this occasion. The room was very clean and warm (it was November!). It had a TV, phone, hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities and a bathroom provided with towels and toiletries. Everything worked. The view from the window was out towards Lamlash Church and the bay. I'd booked a meal for the evening - the food was really good, both in the evening and for breakfast (I had the Full Scottish). There was also a bar with a small choice of beers on draught. Once again, the staff in the restaurant were very friendly and the food arrived quickly. I was also pleasantly surprised that on the Saturday night that there was also some live music (a guitarist). The view at the front of the hotel was stunning and directly overlooks Holy Island. The only minor issue I had was that the EV charge-point at the rear of the hotel refused to work for me, although that was probably an issue for Chargeplace Scotland rather than the Hotel - there were other charge-points very close by, all reasonably priced. A good stay and a hotel I would gladly return to.

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.

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
