About Kinloch Hotel

Kinloch bills itself as the original west coast hotel on Arran, and its position at Blackwaterfoot, around 30 minutes from the Brodick ferry, gives it sweeping views over the water rarely matched elsewhere on the island. The hotel mixes traditional bedrooms with self-catering apartments, giving families and longer-stay guests some flexibility.

An on-site swimming pool and leisure facilities are unusual for a hotel of this size on Arran, and the restaurant runs a seasonal menu built around local produce. The hotel also hosts weddings and small conferences, reflecting its scale relative to most of the island's other properties.

Its west coast location makes it a sensible base for golf at Shiskine, the standing stones at Machrie Moor and the newer Lagg Distillery, all a short drive away, for visitors who want to explore beyond Brodick without doubling back across the island each day.
