Glencloy Farm Guesthouse is a well located base for exploring Arran. We are close enough to the centre of Brodick for guests to walk into the village, while being on the periphery we enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside.

Neil, Ashleigh, Shelley, Martyn and Deborah extend a warm welcome to guests to staying in their home and will be happy to help if you have any queries, be it where to eat out or where to buy a spark plug. Just ask us anything before you arrive or while staying with us to help you enjoy your stay on Arran to the fullest.

We have five bedrooms available in a variety of layouts to suit most needs, or why not bring a party of friends and family and have sole use of the guesthouse. All our bedrooms have individual character in keeping with a house of this type, and are comfortably furnished with quality crisp bedding on all beds and an ample supply of freshly laundered towels. All rooms have TV/video and a well stocked complimentary refreshments tray.

Our guests have the use of our elegant drawing room which overlooks the garden. It is a comfortably furnished room for a relaxed moment of your stay. It has Digital Freeview TV, DVD player, games and a piano for your use. You will be able to enjoy your breakfast in the dining area of the drawing room while watching the many wild birds enjoy theirs; we have a visiting red squirrel that joins in too.

Food is of paramount importance to us and where ever possible we will use food made, grown or produced locally or by ourselves at Glencloy. We have a small flock of chickens which roam our grounds freely much of the time, providing us with delicious fresh eggs daily. Other breakfast produce are sourced for quality, an extensive range of marmalades and jams from Arran are available at the breakfast table and honey produced just half a mile away. A full Scottish breakfast at Glencloy is a feast so be prepared!
