    Not a dislike…. but this is our first time to stay in a hostel that accepts dogs. Not all dog owners were following hostel policy.

    Brilliant location. Good facilities. We met lots of lovely families. Great staff.

    The hot water machine was out of order in the breakfast room, although hot water was still available from staff member. The shower tray drain was slow so filled with water. It did drain though so no flooding.

    The hostel had everything we needed and it was in a beautiful location where it was easy for us to do the activities we wanted to do. The other guests were friendly, quiet and respectful.

    • Family Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    We had a family room and were blessed to have a beautiful view over the loch from our bedroom. Beds were amazingly comfy with really snug duvets. Basin and little table with a couple of chairs in our family room. Very friendly meeting people in the kitchen/dining area, and there is also a lounge. People from the States, Australia, England, Glasgow etc. A couple of other families with young children or teenagers. Great atmosphere - lots of people happy to chat. The hostel couldn't be in a better location - it is such a pretty part of Arran and right on the loch, a couple of minutes walk from the castle and there is an inn which is open for drinks some but not all nights of the week, also resident red deer and of course seals sunbathing on rocks on the other side of the bay. Backdrop of mountains - hard to beat!
