With outstanding indoor and outdoor leisure facilities (including two pools and a spa), well-designed modern rooms, and three restaurants and bars, Auchrannie is by far the best place to stay on Arran. Luxury perks include Arran Aromatics toiletries in bathrooms. Lodges are ideal for families or groups of friends. There are also motor home and camper van pitches.
On one of Scotland's few private islands, this sybaritic enclave conceals luxury facilities like a spa, pool, gym, golf course, and a Michelin-starred restaurant behind a severe baronial facade. Seals swim offshore, herons and otters patrol the tide line, and badgers prowl the tranquil, wooded grounds. Views are breathtaking. Choice of accommodation includes two lodges with kitchens and hot-tub decks.
Made up of five former fishermen's cottages, this lodging on Tobermory's waterfront has a warm, intimate feel. Some rooms have a view of the bay, and several have nice touches like a four-poster bed, but all are modest in size and have minimal furniture. The Water's Edge restaurant uses local produce in its three-course meals.
