The best hotels Southwest Islands

The establishment is almost feet in the water, 50 m from the picturesque harbour of Blackwaterfront, on the south-west coast of Arran. The village's shops and restaurants are within walking distance, as are the beach and golf course. The rooms each have en-suite bathrooms, a TV and a tea and coffee making facilities. A lounge with fireplace is open to guests, as is a comfortable bar. The Lodge Bar & Restaurant welcomes both residents and non-residents (reservation recommended for dinner).

A hotel, bar and restaurant all in one, the Kinloch Hotel is an excellent address in Blackwaterfoot. The 37 rooms are single, double, twin or family rooms. Some have beautiful views of the sea and all have their own private bathroom. The interior design is sober, modern and comfortable. On the ground floor, the pub and restaurant areas are popular with residents, visitors and locals alike, as are the indoor swimming pool and squash court.

Located in the most charming village of the island, the villa overlooks the bay of Lochranza. The ship's captain who had it built in 1908 probably didn't consider not seeing the water... The views from each room, on the loch or on the hills, are breathtaking. The peaceful garden invites you to relax, admire the sunsets or watch the dolphins in the distance. The living room overlooks the bay, and provides a pleasant retreat between books and board games. The place is perfect for walking or cycling excursions.
