Booking at Isle of Arran hostels and budget B&Bs is a very good way to enjoy a holiday that’s light on your pocket but also packed with great experiences. If you’re looking for somewhere central to stay on the island, Tigh An Eilean B&B makes a good choice. Situated in the little village of Cordon, it’s only about 6 miles from Arran Coastal Way and Brodick Isle of Arran Ferry Terminal. Arran Heritage Museum is a similar distance away from your lodging, as is Brodick Golf Club. It has beachfront access from the property, and you’ll enjoy a complimentary breakfast. The establishment also has a garden and a tennis court.
If you want more of a private getaway in the form of Isle of Arran hostels and other cost-effective accommodation, you can book through KAYAK at The Arran Lodge & Arran Sleep Huts. They’re in Lamlash, on a nicely secluded estate. All of the huts are pet friendly, and you’ll have access to a communal kitchen and lounge area with a toasty wood-burning stove for winter nights. There are plenty of walking trails starting from here, and you can organise boat trips too. The property has a garden and tennis court, and offers sea views out towards Holy Isle. Parking is free and you’ll be a convenient, roughly 10min drive from Brodick Ferry Terminal, so getting here when you arrive on the island is quick and easy.
For a comfortable and cost-effective family holiday, Isle of Arran hostels and small, privately owned cottages are ideal. They have all the conveniences of home, and you won’t have to pay for all kinds of extra services that hotels charge for. Viewbank Cottage in Whiting Bay offers a holiday home with plenty of space for adults to relax while children play in the gardens. You can go hiking together on nearby trails or play tennis on the premises. A full kitchen is provided for self-catering, giving you the freedom to set your own schedule and look after your kids’ needs as you would at home.
If you’re looking for a cheap hostel in Isle of Arran, you should consider going during the low season. You’ll generally find lower-priced hostels in Isle of Arran in June and April.
Hostel room prices vary depending on many factors but you’ll likely find the best hostel deals in Isle of Arran if you stay on a Tuesday. The most expensive day for hostel bookings is Sunday.
If you want to ensure you grab a bargain, try to book more than 90 days before your stay to get the best price for a Isle of Arran hostel.
Don’t know how much time you need to see all the sights? KAYAK users usually book their hostel in Campbeltown for 1 day.
