I stayed at the Corrie Hotel for 2 nights in Room 11 (double room with separate bathroom). The location of the hotel is stunning, and very conveniently accessed by bus from Brodick. I know the hotel is undergoing renovation and upgrades, so I hope the review helps with that. My room was fine, the view was charming and it was neat and clean but it could have done with more amenities( better quality sheets, water glasses, fridge or ice bucket as it's the summer etc). It had clearly been painted quite recently, but I suspect it was done in a hurry, for example the window had to be propped open and couldn't be locked as the lock was painted shut. The bathroom was clean but in need of a renovation and the only amenity provided was shower gel, this should be clear on the website (which states the bathroom has amenities) if this was not an oversight. I had dinner at the restaurant both nights, the food was ok but the restaurant lacked any atmosphere and the furnishing , tableware were all quite basic (except the wine glasses, which were lovely). The separate pub area looked much nicer and cosy and had a sea view, so I suspect the restaurant space was an overflow area. Given I booked a table on the first night and was a hotel guest it was disappointing to not get a better table, especially as the pub had tables free. I had not intended to eat there a second night but after Mara's fish bar ran out of food I was grateful to get a last minute table, again in the restaurant area. Overall a pleasant stay, but I think the room rate (120 per night) was quite high, definitely the absolute maximum and I note the room often goes for more.
