Family-run Bed and Breakfast on Lochranza Golf Course
Accommodations & Rooms
Butt Lodge offers five distinct room types, including the Castle Suite with a mezzanine and four-poster bed and the Newton suite with a separate sitting area. Each room is equipped with a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom stocked with Arran Aromatics toiletries. Guests in the Superior King Room or Deluxe King Suite also have a fridge for storing drinks and fresh milk provided daily.
Dining
Chef Mac serves pre-booked evening meals using locally sourced ingredients, with menus that change daily - past options include sea bass and Arran whisky pecan tart. Breakfast is a full Scottish fry or homemade overnight oats, all cooked to order and delivered at the requested time. Guests can bring their own wine or beer without corkage fee, and the lodge provides glasses and chilling service.
Location & Activities
Butt Lodge sits directly behind Lochranza Golf Course, a par-3 course where red deer and stags roam freely, and is a 10-minute walk from Arran Distillery. The property is 2 km from Lochranza ferry terminal and 23 km from Brodick ferry terminal, with direct access to coastal walks and mountain hikes. Guests can also cycle or hike from the lodge, as free storage for e-bikes is available in a shed on site.
Eco-Friendly Practices
The lodge reduces waste by providing fresh milk in reusable bottles instead of single-use sachets and serving homemade marmalade in reused jars. Room cleaning is done only on request to lower water and chemical use, and recyclable materials are collected separately. Guests also find local Arran Aromatics toiletries in refillable dispensers rather than mini bottles.
Property & Wildlife
The lodge is set on a 2-acre property with a garden, picnic area, and outdoor furniture where red squirrels visit feeders stocked by the hosts daily. Red deer stags with their hinds graze on the adjacent golf course at dawn and dusk, visible from most room windows. The building itself is a former Victorian shooting lodge, accessed via a gravel mountain access track that leads to the secluded site.
