Belvedere

Limited off-road parking, but I never had any problems parking on Alma Road. Allan not around when I arrived, but the check-in arrangements worked fine. Room 5, single: the private facilities (washbasin, toilet, bath, shower) are all next door. The room itself had tea/coffee facilities, and plenty of storage space. TV signal was sometimes intermittent; not the first time I've experienced this in Scotland. (There was also a shared guest lounge.) I like to use the laptop a *lot* on holiday (processing the day's photos, writing a diary); no desk in the room, but by moving the hospitality tray, I could work OK. Breakfast is the kind you pre-order (what you want, when you want it, presumably to cut down waste. A good choice of breakfasts, including vegetarian options, and Allan is a chatty host at breakfast time. There are also three lively small dogs; Allan did ask 'are you OK with them?' Payment on departure. I'm unlikely to come back to Arran, having seen what I want to see, but if I did, I'd be happy to come back here.

A great 4 night stay on beautiful Arran. The Belvedere was fantastic & Allan was a superb host. His advice on places to visit, walks, restaurants & pubs etc was really helpful, & his breakfasts were excellent. The Belvedere is centrally located in Brodick & is no more than a 5-10 minute walk from all the amenities. It is spotlessly clean & tidy, & the breakfasts are to die for! There are also three very friendly four legged furry little people who like to come & greet you before you get off on your daily travels! We couldnt recomend this place highly enough, & will definitely be going back again.

The Belvedere is very clean, comfortable and everything you could wish for at that price: which is very reasonable indeed. Allan is very friendly, attentive, and often goes out of his way to help guests. He's also very generous with breakfasts and extra late-night snacks. My room had one of the most comfortable single beds I've ever slept in. I met some grest people whilst I was there too. I highly recommend this b&b.

A lovely week at the Belvedere with host Allan. Exceptional hospitality, a 10 min walk from the ferry with many restaurants, shops, bus stops and beach walks at your fingertips. The room was warm and comfortable, the breakfast taste amazing with healthy portions. Allan is attentive yet unobtrusive. I felt right at home. My room had a lovely seating area with view of ocean, in addition there is access to living room with games, books and tv. Will be returning in the spring.

Excellent Guest House - experience made even better with the very helpful manager - Allan who goes absolutely out of his way to welcome you and make you feel at home. Allan is a greta source of knowledge re the area and things to do / places to eat etc. Great Breakfast as well - would highly recomend this as a place to stay

Belvedere is a great place to stay on Arran. It’s well located in Brodick, a short walk from the ferry terminal and Co op grocery store. The views are lovely. We stayed for three nights immediately after arriving from North America. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Breakfasts were delicious. Allan is a great host. He went out of his way arranging a taxi for us. I’d highly recommend the Belvedere Guest House.

I had a very comfortable stay. Allan was extremely welcoming and went beyond the call of duty to make his guests feel welcome. The room was clean and comfortable, and had a wonderful view out over Brodick Bay and Goatfell. Breakfast was excellent. I can’t think of a better base for exploring Arran!

Stayed at Belvedere in august for 2 nights . Alan manages the guest house and was welcoming and friendly . Nothing was too much trouble . Central location , within walking distance of most attractions on Brodick . Room was clean and breakfast was great with generous portions . Couldn’t do the full Scottish breakfast justice ! Car parking for 2 cars on driveway or right outside on the street . The house has magnificent views over to goat fell and great to eat breakfast and look out on to this in the morning . Everyone was so friendly and we had a great stay . Hope to go back !

Fabulous older house that comes with lots of charm and a few squeaks! Very fun to be staying in a nice house with a magnificent view over the harbor/bay. Very very quiet neighborhood, good night ahead! Easy parking on the street. But the best was the welcome by Allan, proud to be running such a great place with a solid understanding of what guests want from a stay on Arran. And he cooks a fabulous breakfast - I had the Scottish one twice, fabulous, and free-range eggs the 3rd morning, so yummy! Great coffee too! Nice multiple choices for breakfast. And a kettle in the room for coffee, tea, or chocolate! Until my next visit!
