The Douglas Hotel

Arran and the Douglas was our favorite stopover in Scotland, should have stayed another day. Property was great1

What an amazing hotel! The friendliest, most helpful staff, comfortable luxurious room, gorgeous views, the most beautiful garden and delicious food! I would highly recommend this hotel - top notch! We’ll definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff!

We arrived on a wet Saturday to be greeted by the cheery presence of Kate in reception who had upgraded our executive double room to one with a sea view. The room was spotless with a bathroom almost as large as the bedroom. The bed was so comfortable and eventually we got a good nights sleep. Only disappointments were no power shower which when you’re paying £245 per night might be expected and the lack of soondproofing. It appears our seaview room was directly above the bar and we could hear loud conversations below. We booked dinner in the Bistro and the food was nice enough and the service excellent. We went to the bar for a couple of drinks and there was a good atmosphere with a live singer on from 9 until midnight although we retired to the room about 1030. The singer was excellent and we didn’t mind really that he went on for 10 minutes after midnight but when he finished the bar staff decided to put on some music which was pretty loud and I had to ask reception to have it turned off- staff unaware that people are in rooms attempting to sleep maybe a wee reminder needed. Breakfast next day was fine with decent selection of pastries bread fruit and yoghurt. Ordered the full Scottish breakfast which was lovely. On check out a different lady from Kate seemed pretty cold and we were gone without even asking if we had enjoyed our stay. I’d recommend avoiding room 102 at weekends especially a Saturday night due to aforementioned noise issue. Overall a nice hotel with good staff and service but definitely over priced but I suppose that’s down to supply and demand.

Everything about the room was excellent. Very clean roomy and comfortable. Food was also very good. We had a health issue and the staff (particularly Mark) could not have been more professional and kind. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This hotel is one of the best I have ever stayed. The room was spacious and comfortable and the food - both breakfast and diner - were superb.

Nice stay Perfect, super nice.
