Lochranza Centre CIC

If you want the best experience in Arran Island, this is the right place to be!!

The staff is amazingly friendly and the scenery is extremely magnificent!!!

Since the whole island is not very convenient, the average waiting time of buses is 2 hr. If you want to visit the places freely, it's strongly suggested to visit Arran Island with a car.

I’m rating this 5* based on hostel accommodation comparison. Nothing wrong with that, it just feels more hostel than regular B&B.

This centre is predominantly an outdoor activity centre for schools and other groups and will at times I’m sure, be a hive of activity. But! They are now offering B&B style accommodation with separate rooms for individuals and couples, as well as, I assume, multiple occupation rooms if preferred for small private groups. My room was perfect for me. Well provisioned with hot drinks tray in the room, 2 single beds and an en-suite with shower, toilet and clean towels.

A 2 minute walk and I was in the B&B exclusive kitchen/Dinner & Lounge, where for breakfast; Bread, butter, jams, cereals, Fruit and Yoghurts were provided. You can also self cater/cook and a fridge and freezer for guest food also provided.

The centre is staffed 9-5 generally and the staff are always helpful and knowledgeable concerning local walks, activities and other local issues.

There is no local shop! So come prepared if on foot or by cycle. Nearest shop is a few miles. However, the centre has a tuck shop (mainly sweets etc and some small gifts), the village has a hotel/pub/restaurant, and there is a small tea room, deli counter and quality restaurant by the Golf Club/camp site-The Stags Pavilion. (Limited opening times/days)

The centre is ideally located and as long as you are happy with shared lounge, cooking and eating facilitate it is first class. The views from the lounge are fantastic and a small terrace has chairs to relax and watch. I will be back as soon as I possibly can!!

Tried the Lochranza Fryday, whilst staying in a cottage down the road. Great service, and the food and price reflected each other nicely. Friendly staff, swift service and the beer batter on the fish was lovely. Not many places you can get fish and chips for under £10! Made for a lovely end of holiday tea!
