Arran is Scotland’s most accessible islands, often referred to as "Scotland in Miniature” due to the dramatic contrast between the hills and mountains in the north, and sweeping moorlands on the south of the island. A short 55 minute ferry journey off the Ayrshire coast, Arran is easily reachable by those arriving into any of central Scotland’s main airports as well as those travelling by car, train and coach. Whilst many tourists arrive on the island simply to kick back and relax, the island is packed with attractions and sights for visitors of all ages.
It's been a few years since we were last here and the Covid screens were up in the restaurant in light of the rules in play. The hotel was very quiet which seemed rather strange as just before Christmas. Nevertheless we were able to enjoy our stay and had the pool almost to ourselves. The room was clean and comfortable and food was fine.

Had a 2 night stay here. Lovely, comfortable hotel with a stunning location, looking right over the bay, and a few minutes from Fistral beach. Didn't have a seaview, but found room good size and very comfortable. Excellent breakfast, 1 of the best I've had. And a special mention to the staff; in all the dealings we had (reception, bar, restaurant) they were all really friendly and professional. exactly what you want for a relaxing stay. Many thanks, we will be back!

We stayed for 4 nights to celebrate our pre honeymoon and emailed ahead to ask for an upgrade . We was advised unfortunately there were no other rooms available but they had put down some rose petals and received a complimentary drink which made it felt special. So well done for taking down note. Lovely period hotel with a gorgeous outdoor pool area and close to everything. Staff are friendly, but our neighbors woke us at 2am with a loud tele so as he was ignoring our knock s ,I called to reception to ask for help to which they called but no answer . Person from night reception then went out of his way to come up and speak with tele person which solved the loud tele, so thank u very much. Food is excellent!! As well as the breakfast, suberp .Very good hotel , friendly staff, excellent pool area and good food only downside is the overdue bed , our stay was ruined somewhat with the lumpy uncomfortable bed so could not sleep much. Please look to get a new bed in room 222 and maybe could do with an decor update throughout, but apart from that great facilities, food and friendly staff

A beautiful British Art Deco hotel and restaurant. Lovely food served hot and of high quality. We sat out in the glass area overlooking the sea . It was very bright and hot but better once the sun went down . The service was pleasant and up to price standards. The atmosphere was complete with the 1950’s music playing in the background. Toilets were clean but cheap looking compared to the rest of the dining area . Well worth a visit

We stayed here for 2 nights - myself, my partner, our young baby and our 3.5 year old - and we had the best time. We stayed in a family room in the main hotel that had a separate space for bunk beds which our 3 year old loved. There were so many activities. The massive play area with the fort, bouncy pillows, maze and crazy golf was fab. It’s a bit of a walk but an easy walk and buggy friendly. The food in the Italian restaurant that we ate in both nights was great, the kids menu was a wee bit limited though. The breakfast buffet had a huge selection. Check out was at 11am so it wasn’t too much of a rush to get out. The staff were all really friendly and attentive. The whole stay was summaries by our 3 year old who said “I just loved all of it”

We stayed in the Celtic Manor Resort Hotel for one night for a joint 30th birthday couples trip away. Spa~ Us girls started off with coffees in the main bar and spent the first day at the resort Forum Spa. We did have a slight issue with our booking but it was sorted quickly and without a problem, staff in the spa very helpful. I booked a spa package with Forum massage which was a full body massage and it was very good. the spa reception was busy but during our time in the relaxation rooms and pool areas it was quiet and relaxing. I really liked the private ladies only spa area. I also had the spa buffet lunch in the cafe which consisted of a range of salads, chicken, salmon and desserts drinks were not included though but we had access to drinks in the spa. Golf~ The boys had booked packages to play the Twenty Ten golf course and really enjoyed it, they especially liked the engraved bag tag and they enjoyed the chance to win a round of gold / membership. Dinner~ In the evening we went for buffet dinner at The Olive Tree and I can say even though there wasn’t a huge selection, it was one of the best tasting buffets I’ve been to. It was all hot and seasoned well. The service was great, plates being cleared straight away and food being refilled quickly. The roast section being my favourite. We then had drinks over in the bar and listened to the pianist which was enjoyable. The bar staff did get our drinks wrong but it was quickly sorted. Room~ The only reason I have not given this hotel a 5 rating is due to the rooms. We had standard rooms but I’ve stayed in better 4 star hotels. The care and attention is not 5 star. The shower had clumps of black hair, the sink was cracked, there wasn’t any body wash I just had 2 shampoos, I’d expect a better supply of toiletries. No bottles of water?! Ive stayed at many 4 stars and had glass bottle water in the room as standard. Our 2nd room had a mini fridge that did not open and they didn’t have an ice bucket. Couldn’t see a pillow menu either. We did have a great view out the front towards the bridge though and it was quiet. Breakfast~ Again we had the buffet breakfast in the Olive Tree restaurant. Again great quality food on offer and we really enjoyed it. Good selection of pastries and juices / hot drinks. Adventure Golf~ We played the 18 holes of adventure golf and loved it! Definitely a must do if staying, it was good fun and very quiet. Car parking~ We paid £8.50 x 2 for 24 hours parking as we had 2 cars. I’d understand paying for parking if in the centre of a big city but I can’t understand the charge for hotel guests to park, day guests yes I can understand. All in all it was a wonderful stay and we would return.

Hotel was overdue a refurbishment....now now and very worthwhile. Hotel public areas and bedrooms are very stylish and comfortable. Staff are helpful and professional. Dining options may have been dumbed down - restaurant and bar have been 'merged'. Our visit was quieter than previous visits and benefitted from that....allowed us comfortable time in the bar with a cocktail! The executive lounge has been closed and relocated to the old restaurant....the poor choice of wine and beer remain unchanged unfortunately.

We only stayed for one night and wished we had booked more, very attentive staff nothing was ever to much trouble and the attention to detail with children goes the extra mile. Food in the restaurant was amazing and great sized portions we will be back 100% the best hotel we have stayed in. And a huge shout out to Deborah on reception she accommodated us and our 18 month old very well see you all soon from the heavily pregnant couple and little boy ?
