Douglas

Arran


Attractive and with upbeat service, the Douglas offers cleanly presented meals to complement its magic view from near the ferry dock. The bar zone serves upmarket versions of classic sandwiches and meals, while the bistro goes a step further in an equally appealing ambience. High-quality local produce from land and sea is used throughout.
