The castle overlooks Goatfell, a majestic hill that’s a popular day hike. The Machrie Moor stone circles make for a mystical field trip, as does a tour of The Arran Malt whisky distillery.

The quintessential Victorian ‘Highland’ estate, Brodick Castle, Garden & Country Park on the Isle of Arran is the perfect place for a family day out.Dramatically set against the backdrop of Goatfell mountain, the grand red sandstone Scottish baronial-style castle has stunning views over Brodick Bay to the Firth of Clyde. The grounds and surrounds are worthy of a visit alone – from the W A Nesfield-influenced landscaped gardens to the woodland trails, wildlife ponds and waterfalls, there’s plenty to explore outdoors in Britain’s only island country park. Brodick Castle is packed full of treasures too – it’s renowned for its impressive collections of period furniture, silverware, porcelain, paintings and sporting trophies.
The castle was lovely, it had a lot of historical information, but also some fun for kids. The grounds were beautiful, and there was a lot to explore! This included a "fairy trail" where they've set up small houses for magical creatures to live in, and also a red squirrel viewing hut, where you can try to spot red squirrels. Great day out, worth the money, beautiful views.

Had a family visit as I have recently started work as a tour guide in a distillery and wanted to learn some tips! Billy was great, very informative, inclusive and funny. Loved the touches of a driver's dram, a Spey dram glass and the opportunity to try the single malt and the cream liqueur. Highly recommended. Restaurant is great too. My daughter felt too ill to attend the tour so opted to stay in the restaurant with her drink and was made to feel very welcome.

Well worth a short stop if you are travelling round the Island. Park on the road by the sea. A beautiful spot looking out to the Kintyre peninsula. It’s a short uphill walk along a farm track to the stones bit is signposted. A fabulous view from the stones and very atmospheric

The ‘ASPA’ invites guests to take some time out for some quality “me time”, join a group of friends, get together for a girls day out or spend some quality time with a loved one. One trip to the ‘ASPA’ and you’re sure to become instantly addicted. Just 55 minutes away by boat from the Ayrshire mainland, the new ‘ASPA’ will offer spa-goers a truly unique experience. An amazing spa, beautiful island scenery and exceptional customer service. Day visitors experiences will start as soon as they board the ferry from Ayrshire – the short crossing giving guests a chance to relax as they sail towards the beautiful rugged scenery of Arran; aptly referred to as “Scotland in miniature”.
Went with a friend at short notice so only managed to get a half hour treatment each as they are quite busy. The leisure facilities are included with your booking and were really nice, standard options - pool, steam room, sauna etc. The massage was amazing and the therapist was great! Even went through different oil options etc. The relaxation area afterwards is beautiful - I’d pay just to use that! We had our choice of tea, private recliners and calming music. I could have stayed all day.
