Dining At Best Western Kinloch

We spent three nights in the hotel with B&B. All attended the main dining room each evening. The food was enjoyable and filling, nothing startling, but this is a three-star family-run hotel. I have eaten and paid exorbitant prices in many other establishments which boasted better experiences to be left very underwhelmed. The only honest criticism was that the vegetarian options were limited; three nights' dinner was roughly the choice.

Went for lunch with friends and really disappointed. Two meals were returned straight away and the other two were only average. The two returned meal were then replaced and these were also inedible; fish chips with undercooked batter which was colourless. Staff were apologetic and friendly and not their fault but the chef had no excuse as we were the only diners. No charge was made for the two returned meals but lunch was ruined by that point. Perhaps a complimentary drink or alternative should have been offered. Really poor and will not return.

Good food, excellent service. Little pricy, but to be expected at a best western. Will be going back in a few days time as their lunch menu looks excellent too.

Oh, we were muddy, wet and probably a bit smelly (back from a rainy walk that took us through a forest and into a cave)... The public room and restaurant look quite nice when you enter the hotel, so I was a little bit apprehensive... I wouldn't have been offended if they'd said lunch wasn't served anymore, just to keep us out. And yet, and yet. We were given a great table, next to a bay window with a beautiful sea view. Service was very kind and efficient. Kids menu was very decent. My fish and chips was really good. The tomato soup was delicious. The restaurant is very nicely decorated. Maps of Arran printed on the lamp shades. Lots of free parking just outside. The cherry on top of the cake? The prices are very reasonable.

Stayed and dined at the Kinloch hotel on Arran, food was very good, varied but not over complicated menu, starter, mains and desserts all first class, even if you don't stay at the hotel the restaurant is worth a visit.Also staff are amazing so friendly and polite.
