    The place was super clean, furbished with great taste, and close to everything (seaside, castle, shops, you name it). A massive plus for the bathroom, which is an absolute « bijou ». The best thing about The Arran though is probably its manager, Angus. He is the best host we’ve had in our 10-day trip across Scotland (and we’ve had great hosts!). He is smart, caring, entertaining, helpful and will give you great suggestions if you just ask him!
