Auchrannie House Hotel

Frommer's Review

Acclaimed as the island's finest hotel and restaurant, this Victorian mansion (once the home of the dowager duchess of Hamilton) stands in pristine glory on 2.4 hectares (6 acres) of landscaped gardens and woods, about 1.6km (1 mile) from the Brodick ferry terminal. Guest rooms in the new wing are the most comfortable, but all the rooms are furnished with taste, using select fabrics and decorative accessories. Family suites (two bedrooms) and four-poster rooms are available.

The property's noteworthy leisure center features an indoor pool, a kids' pool, a playroom, a spa, game room, and sauna. You can enjoy drinks in the cocktail bar or the sun lounge before heading for the Garden Restaurant, which offers fixed-price dinners -- expensive, but the finest on Arran. The chef is really in his element when preparing West Coast seafood. Nonguests should reserve ahead.
