The motel is located within easy walking distance of the town centre. The room was well equipped with everything we required and was spotlessly clean. Guest laundry was very handy. Friendly and helpful staff.

The staff member we encountered was lovely and friendly. The room itself was quite dated but functional for the one night we stayed. The beds aren't the most comfortable. There are self laundry facilities on sight for a very reasonable price.

Arran Motel is run by a friendly couple who look after their guests. It is a small, clean motel with functional facilities such as heating, a microwave, a fridge, cutlery, and utensils. We were accommodated in a room with vacant neighbors during our stay, which made it pleasant. There is easy access to parking, and it is close to the towncentre. Excellent value!
