By Train; There are regular mainline train services from both London Euston (including The Caledonian Sleeper) and Manchester Airport to Glasgow Central Station. Connect in Glasgow to the Scotrail service to either Ardrossan or Troon.
By Plane; Fly into Glasgow International with onward road or Scotrail links.
By Automobile; Three major ‘A’ roads lead to either Ardrossan or Troon harbours, A71 from the East, A76 from the South and A77 from Cairnryan (from Northern Ireland) and Glasgow.
The main passenger and car ferry service, run by Caledonian MacBrayne (CalMac) departs from Troon Harbour on the West Coast of Scotland. A shuttle bus operates between Troon railway station and the harbour for the benefit of foot passengers. An additional ferry service departs from Ardrossan Harbour which has its own railway station. The railway services run to and from Glasgow Central including Paisley Gilmour Street for Glasgow Airport.
An island bus service meets the main ferry arrivals and will drop you almost outside our door. There is parking at Troon and Ardrossan Harbour and also free parking at the hotel. There are also taxi services on the Island, but these will need to be booked in advance.
You can also use the ferry service from Kintyre to Lochranza at the North end of the Island, which is about 9 miles from the hotel. There is also a bus service from there, several times a day, with a stop in Corrie by the hotel.
getting around arran
There is a road all the way around the Island, with two roads which cross the Island, including the stunning Telford-designed String Road. Having a car is the most convenient and flexible way to see everything.
There are also bus services on the Island, the three main routes are around the North End (324), South End (323) and across the middle (322). Buses around the North End of the Island are every three hours, so it is worth getting to the stop five minutes early so you do not miss them!
We’re always happy to help you with your journey, either getting to Arran or around the Isle, get in touch.
