Built in 1850 on the seashore in Corrie village, 6 miles from Brodick ferry terminal.
A dog friendly hotel and restaurant on the quiet east coast of the Isle of Arran. Built from local red sandstone in 1850 and extended in 1899 to welcome visitors arriving by steamer, the hotel has been recently refurbished and sits directly on the Arran Coastal Way. The beer garden — a former croquet lawn — looks out across the Firth of Clyde to Ayrshire, Bute, and Cumbrae.
The Corrie Hotel
The Hotel
The hotel was built in 1850 and was extended in 1899 to house holidaymakers who travelled to the Isle of Arran on steamers. The buildings adjacent to the hotel were previously the hotel stables and the beer garden used to be the croquet lawn.
The red sandstone, from which the hotel is built, is from the former village quarry.
Inside the hotel
The bedrooms at The Corrie Hotel intentionally do not have televisions, relax and chat with fellow guests and locals in the bar, play a game of pool in the lounge, indulge yourself with a boardgame or simply enjoy the tranquility and appreciate the scenery.
In all areas of the hotel, dogs are allowed, and the welcome folder features a page on ‘Dogs at The Corrie Hotel’. You’ll find dog treats and towels for muddy paws. We also have a dog menu if your dog gets hungry in collaboration with Sir Woofchester.
We’ve had a few famous visitors in the past, one being Napoleon III. The hotel was also often used to house guests of Brodick Castle.
Food & Drink
Enjoy a wee dram in The Corrie Hotel Bar, ‘Eat’ lunch or dinner in our dining area or in our spacious beer garden* overlooking the sea, or just relax in our lounge. Non residents are also always welcome for lunches and evening meals which are served every day. A reservation is highly recommended to guarantee a table.

The Village of Corrie
The Village
Lying under the looming shadow of Goat Fell, the village of Corrie is 6 miles north of Brodick
The name Corrie is derived from the Gaelic ‘an coire’, meaning a curved hollow, and the history of the village is closely linked with its geology. The coastline is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, with geologists coming over from around the world to study the shoreline.
The Area
Within reach of the Corrie Hotel sits ‘The Doctor’s Bath’, a carved bath within the sandstone coast, dating to 1835. This curiosity is believed to have been dug out at the request of Doctor McCredy who, it’s said, wanted a curative bath built in order to treat his patients using salt water therapy.
The village also has the Corrie Hall, hosting many events, including film nights and exhibitions on a regular basis. You’ll also find The Wee Bookshop and Mara, a takeaway seafood bar. You can also see the famous Corrie seal, which we’ve nicknamed Clyde.
Slightly north of Corrie, is Sannox. Here you can access a beautiful sandy beach, more walks, rock climbing and the Corrie Golf Club, a 9-hole course. Larger stores, including a Co-op, can be found 6 miles down the road, in Brodick.
