We had a wonderful week at Springbank. The accommodation was spotless and beautifully furnished, with everything we needed, including a travel cot and highchair for our young baby. The bedrooms were very spacious, with the top two rooms having a beautiful view of Brodick Bay and Goatfell. It was the perfect place to return to after a soggy walk on Arran! Location is superb, right up the hill from Brodick and only a few minutes' walk to the largest Co-op on the island. We are missing the view already and would love to return!

Delighted with our stay. The place is so roomy and comfortable with everything you can think of to hand. Such fabulous views and whilst a steepish hill up from the Main Street, it was not a problem for me and my partner who both have dodgy knees. My grandchildren loved the swing, the weather wasn’t the best but didn’t deter them. It was great to have such lovely accommodation to come back to after a busy day dodging the rain!
