The McLaren Hotel was, admittedly, a little tired looking but at £35 per night we got a great bargain. The rooms were clean, tidy, had freeview TV, an adequate bathroom and tea/coffee facilities. The staff were, without exception, welcoming, friendly and informative about the area. The hotel is right on the seafront just minutes' away from the ferry and right... More

At just £35 a night for B&B, after some of the prices I had been paying across the West coast and islands, it was a bonus to be able tick... More

After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor, it was with trepidation I went to the McLaren Hotel, Brodick. I am now convinced they must have been for another hotel!!!! The staff were warm and friendly from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The food was excellent, with a variety of daily specials that ranged from mince and... More

Spent 3 days in this hotel. Wasn't expecting much due to the price but my god what a dump. Rooms are extremely basic. Had a meal on the first night in the restaurant. Tall dark haired English girl serving was possibly the rudest waitress i've had the displeasure of being served by. Looked totally depressed and kept yawning. Food was... More
