The water pressure in the showers was very low, the rooms were small for 4 people and it was quite expensive (granted there will be an island premium for Arran)

Nice facilities, comfy beds, great that there were lockers to drop our stuff off and a very cosy lounge area

Stayed in September 2022

Room for 4 friends was quite small but having said that all very clean and comfortable beds

Great peaceful location and spotless. Great communal kitchen and lounge. Close to the beach.

There was a very big downside - one employee had very bad smoking habits which made our stay very miserable. The smell was terrible and his attempts to neutralize it with strong perfume made it even worse. I could manage the mess he was leaving behind, especially in the kitchen, but not the smell.

Excellent location, very good facilities, very clean. I don't like bunk beds but the mattresses were very comfortable. In general, I highly recommend it.

Clean and nice location Super easy check in

I never received the email with the door code. The on site private resident (employee) didn't offer any help until we asked after about 30 minutes of stress.

Excellent kitchen facilities and the comfy lounge plus a dining room were not expected.

Stayed in July 2022

We could clearly hear people talking in the room next door, so noisy neighbours could impact sleep.

We bought our food along as it's a hostel setup with good facilities in the kitchen

Schoolboy error but forgot to bring shower gel and none was provided in the shower rooms. Would also be good to have somewhere secure to store your bike outside. Not comfortable leaving a £5k bike outside on a bike rack.

Great location and good facilities for a bunkhouse.

Stayed with friends on a cycling weekend shore lodge filled all our needs

The walls are very thin and you can hear everything. There was a guy waking us up at 6:30am, when quiet hours are up to 7am. He was always going to the toilet next to us and one morning he left the tap on??? It's the not fault of the property, but if you really need the rest maybe you need to think about a different type of property

Quite a lot of space in the property. Rooms are small, but the communal areas are good and the kitchen is well equipped. The beds are super comfy

Stayed in April 2022

We missed one sheet and the emergency lamp was shining all night.

Perfect place for Goatfell and seal watching, accessible, drying place, living room, kitchen all timber and it smelled like sauna.

Off peak season, so I can’t use most of the kitchenwares.

Neat and tidy. Very close to bus stop.

Very minor thing but parking was a little tight, probably better to arrive in daylight!

Well hidden and set in the beautiful grounds of Brodick Castle, felt really secluded even though close to the main road.

bedroom too small,

I couldn't get the shower to work in my closest bathroom and had to use one a couple of doors away. The heaters in these shower rooms have no apparent means of turning on and some rooms were too cold. In other respects, the facilities are very good. They are not ensuite.

Good location near to Castle. Excellent basic hostel accommodation. Luckily I had a twin bunk room to myself. The kitchen, dining and lounge areas are excellent. Food storage is well organised.

Room was very small - just bunk beds basically. Felt like the kitchen set up was in place for people who brought a car's worth of equipment (no oil or spices laying around, or a way to make coffee) but all good.

Right next to the castle and Goatfell, convenient for physically active tourists. We did just fine without a car plan because the bus was nearby and Brodick within walking distance.

Price per night is a little too high.

Shore Lodge is a clean and comfortable place to stay in Brodick. Its just 5 minutes far from Brodick Castle and the starting point of the Goatfell trail is right behind the building. Staff was exceptionally friendly and even gave me a lift back to the ferry terminal. Will definitely come back there again.

We were disappointed that the dishwasher had not been replaced and that the old drying room had been closed off.All our wet gear was in the hall although the recent improvements to this area meant that there was enough space to hang our jackets etc.

We have stayed at the lodge every year for the past 10 years now and like the location and size of the accommodation.

Stayed in October 2021

Room was very small. Slightly overpriced for what you get. Would about some garden furniture and picnic tables for eating outside?

Great location. Good kitchen facilities.

The facilities are kept in perfect condition and very clean. Thank you to the staff that works every day to make sure it meets guest's expectations :)

I didn’t like the size of the bedroom, very cramped with nowhere to put your kit/equipment other than a few clothes hooks! I had to use the bunk bed below. Dread to think if I was sharing with a second person! Wasn’t a fan of how close the door to the edge of the bed. When opening the fire door there was approximately a 15cm gap. Getting in and out of the room required a bit of manoeuvring. And if you have filled the room with backpacks, boots etc you sometimes struggled to get the door open. The window locking mechanism was faulty and could easily be opened from the outside. All the other doors in the hallway on fire doors closers are very loud, slam instead of closing slowly. Incorrectly installed door closers cause this.

Best parts of the property are it’s got a well stocked kitchen and massive drying room, essential for the Arran weather/outdoor activities. Bed was comfy and room was warm. Showers are excellent. Great location.
