Going back to this hostel after years was a pleasure. Absolutely breathtaking location. We spotted seals, baby lambs and sheep, seals, wild rabbits, deers… Nicely equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, nice and cosy common rooms. Quiet and peaceful area of Arran (probably the best). Pleasant and helpful girl at the reception.
Featuring mountain views, The Best Moments Start Here provides accommodation with free bikes, a garden and a terrace, around 9.2 km from Brodick Castle, Garden and Country Park.

Really lovely stay, Emily couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Perfect location, tucked away a little off the main road but very close still to the beach and pubs/shops etc. The garden view is gorgeous. Thanks for having us!

Lochranza is beautiful and pristine - much like all of Arran however you experience more of a wilderness vibe than you do at the larger settlements such as Brodick or Whiting Bay.
There is plenty to see and do in Lochranza, with wildlife galore! We managed to spot some otters!
The scenery is just breathtaking.

Lochranza sits in a gorgeous glen , with a very good distillery, an excellent eatery - The Stag Pavillion, need to book way ahead. a moody ruin on the coast, great walks spanning out and up into the hills or along the coast.

Beautiful North Arran!
Beautiful North Arran! do yourself a favour and walk here from another part of the island; opt for either coastal or hill walks to get there. You'll be rewarded with beautiful scenery all the way, including waterfalls. Be patient, and you'll also be rewarded with amazing wildlife; seals, deer & stag, a range of birds, and if you're very patient......sea otters!

This is a small community around three sides of the Loch shore. It can be busy so booking accommodation and meals in advance is recommended. Any visit to Arran should include look around Lochranza to experience the magnificent scenery and wildlife.
PS. We ate at the local hotel, the campsite has a good restaurant but was fully booked. Golf, walking, cycling and a distillery visit are amongst the many activities possible.
Besides having the ideal location for both hiking trips and visiting Lochranza distillery, probably the best food on Arran is served in Butt Lodge. What Kath and Mac pull off in their kitchen is truely exceptional. As eating there is a privilege to the guests of the house, you should never make the mistake to have dinner somewhere else. For the quality served the prices are very reasonable as well. The rooms were tidy and spacious and everything met or exceeded our expectations. Just go there and you will want to come back.
We chanced upon this hotel because of availability but how fortunate were we! We loved our stay here. Super clean room with such a comfortable bed. Breakfast was delicious, lots of variety and set us up for the day. The location was pretty, deer & castle included. We had a rather tasty dinner on one evening and then enjoyed the sunset in the garden. Our hosts Cath & Mac were welcoming, warm and attentive. I am looking forward to another stay at this little gem.
We spent two nights in the hostel in the double room (Queen size bed). The hostel was quite clean and the staff very friendly. There is a large kitchen with a lot of equipment to make your own meals, and the hostel offers the possibility to buy breakfast (granola, milk, yogurt, fruit, bread and jam, with vegan options) and a pre-cooked microwavable dinner (with a few vegetarian options), which was great as there are no shops in Lochranza.
Excellent place to stay in Lochranza, in a beautiful setting. Cath and Mac were very welcoming on arrival. Our room was lovely and spacious, very comfy bed, good shower, hospitality tray, we were even given fresh milk.
Breakfast was the best we had during our trip around the Scottish Isles. Great choice, with good size portions.
Ample parking on site.
Only stayed one night but would recommend and stay again. Thank you.
I had a lovely stay at Butt Lodge. Mac's beautifully prepared meals and Cath's hostessing skills make for a dream team. Lochranza is such a pictureque and peaceful area. My room was perfect and well located for seeing the deer, and I also really enjoyed seeing the seals and birdlife on my coastal walk.
Thanks too for the help with Storm Kathleen!
owner was lovely lady and came to meet us after arrival to explain that you have to order food in advance if you want an evening meal,which at the time was disappointing no bar area or drinks area.nice breakfast room and breakfast and service was very good plenty choice of tea and coffee in room, lovely view
Lovely location overlooking golf course and view of Lochranza Bay in distance. Perfect for sitting outside and having a drink in the evening. Breakfast was delicious and served early for us because we had an early ferry. Very accommodating. Staff very friendly. Would return and would book dinner next time.
The location is beautiful, the rooms very tastefully decorated and extremely clean.
Dinner menu had been sent to us prior to arrival and was excellent, locally sourced produce and plentiful
The owners were friendly and provided good local information
The hostel is situated in spectacular scenery.
Short walking distance to Sandwich Station (highly recommended) and Lochranza Country Inn (highly recommended).
Beautiful scenery & near to Lochranza Castle.
Situation is great & good bus services.
I was in a private room which was ensuite which I wasn't expecting. Lochranza was a quiet, peaceful spot nestled between some beautiful hills with views towards the western side of the Mull of Kintyre.
Garden at front with tables, plenty parking and close to Lochranza Ferry port. Excellent Sandwich Shop close by for a bacon roll and coffee in the morning.
