Had a lovely lunch today! Roasted Red Pepper Soup and Banana Milkshake was very tasty! But the best part was the delicious homemade blueberry cake � x
Really enjoyed my first visit of the season, food was excellent, reasonably priced, and a great kids menu. With added bonus of a safe, outdoor play area. Well done Judith and staff.
A lovely museum and cafe. Only £5 to get into the museum which houses lots of exhibits about rural life on the island. Reconstruction of buildings and trades on the the Island. Various exhibits about military associations from WW1 & 2 and the unfortunate crashes.
A good display about Arran Creamery which has since closed down and the Post Offices on the island.
Also details about the Geo park and Neolithic history on Arran. A good exhibition on the geology of the island and history of the various minerals and rocks found here. Included the details of the various standing stones on the island.
Also a lovely cafe on site with very good food. The cafe has inside and outside seating with outside under cover.
A large car park so no issue parking and a cycle rack that you can lock bikes to.
Would recommend a visit to see what life was like on Arran.
Fabulous place to visit, so much variety in such a small place. A good few hours needed for this visit. Very friendly and helpful staff.
I have been to Arran many times over the years and have passed the Museum on the way to other places. This time we stopped and regretted that we had taken so long to come here. A treasure trove of the history and the people of Arran. From the old cottage, the Smiddy. The schoolhouse and the farming equipment this place is a real gem. The volinteers we met were enthusiastic and informative and made our visit really special. Nice tearoom on site with freshly prepared soup and sandwiches and nice cakes. Small gift shop with a good selection of products. The setting of the site by the river is a delight and great for a relaxing sitdown. Great value for money. Just sorry that we didn't visit sooner.
Great little place, lots to see, worth the five pounds entry fee. Farm machinery, 1910 cottage, blacksmith forge, various displays, shop and cafe

One of the best museums I've visited in the UK over the years. Second best after maritime museum in Irvine. 25-30 minutes walk along the coast from the ferry crossing in main Isle Town of Brodick. £5 entry fee which seems to be a real bargain these days. Excellent value for money. So many things to do over there. Several theme exhibition rooms plus a unique cottage built around 1860 showing how Isle habitants lived back in late 19th/ early 20th century. Hundreds if not thousands of exhibits, amongst them agricultural equipment, garments knitted by the locals, history of the first Post Office in Isle, local creamery and ironmongery. Plus perfectly located tea room with great choice of cold and hot drinks and food. Sitting indoors and outdoors under the gazebo. Free car park for the car users. Gift shop and picnic area along the stream. Good toilet facilities Perfect environment to spend whole day with family or on your own. Helpful and knowledgeable staff members. Highly recommended museum.
Great find on the way back to the ferry.
A well laid out small museum with some really interesting stuff even for the kids (12&7).
The cafe/tea room was excellent. We had soup of the day, sandwiches, a pot of tea and a selection of deserts. The meringue was fantastic. Totally indulgent.
Excellent service all round.
We popped in for a quick snack only to find a great variety of exhibits. Well worth a visit
Very interesting, but heritage museums make me feel old as I have used many of the exhibits. Told some visitors about the prestige of being "ink monitor" in the old school desks! I think more old photos would enhance the experience.
Very in-patient, staff very welcoming and helpful as well as knowledgeable.
Great wee place to visit when on Arran. Great for kids too.
