Visited in the beginning in December as part of our longer wild camping trip from London, had an emergency and needed some extra gear, whilst being relatively newer campers the staff was absolutely amazing, incredibly helpful, understanding, knowledgeable and overall good chaps. Definitely a 10/10 outdoors store I'd recommend.

A great range of outdoor clothing and gear. Staff are really helpful and friendly and I was surprised how competitively priced everything was. If you are in Aaran, you must pay a visit.

I purchased some walking shoes from Arran Active a few months ago, they developed a fault, I contacted AA and Tilly handled my problem and resolved the issue in no time. It was a pleasure to be looked after so professionally . I would have no qualms dealing in person or online with this great company. I wish my local stockist were as helpful as AA. Many thanks Tilly.

I bought some Merrell boots from Arran Active in June whilst on holiday, unfortunately the sole was defective and split after just a few wears.Living over 4 hours drive away I knew I couldn't return them to the shop and contacted Merrell directly thinking they would help. Merrell wouldn't/couldn't, so I contacted Arran Active explaining the issue and received the BEST customer service I've had in a long time.Communicative, friendly and speedy, Tilly was an absolute dream and sorted the problem seamlessly and shipped replacement boots super quickly.Fantastic service - highly recommend :)

Lovely shop, captive audience, can be a little pricy compared to other outdoor stores.It does have a large selection of goods, and some items are on sale at very realistic prices, BUT,,,,, as usual, they are either extra small or extra large! ? They also have a good selection of walking boots.Depending on what you're looking for, they defenetly have something for everyone. It just depends how badly you need it.

Dog friendly outdoor shop with a good selection of walking kit, camping gear and watersports equipment.Friendly helpful staff, just missing its own coffee shop.

A very good out door activity centre based at the Auchrannie resort. They cater for all ages, through a large varity of activities. Well worth a visit

i love to hire SUPs (rather than carry them on my back as we went to Arran by train from London via Glasgow and then the ferry). Initially Arran Active felt pricey because there's a quite large deposit to pay as well as the hire fee (but it was returned!).As we had our 3 hired Red boards for 24hours, it felt like 2 goes on the water on consecutive days (one afternoon, one morning), so i think good value. I loved paddling in Brodick Bay - seeing amazing jellyfish and then discovering Arran Botanicals (cafe bar on white sand), just under Brodick Castle. I was surprised there were so few people paddleboarding, but that was also part of the charm. I would have liked to have chatted more w people in Arran Active who loved to SUP but i am a bit obsessive about it.Their friendly (but busy) staff did find time to blow up the boards (v kind) and point out where to take the boards into the water (basically across the road) and the hose for washing the boards down afterwards. I would certainly hire from them again. If it hadn't been such a fabulous sunny week i'd have also spent a lot more time looking at/purchasing the stuff they had for sale as it looked like a really good outdoor shop.

Hadn't ventured in to this place before, very impressed, well stocked for all your outdoor needs, items priced fairly, bought a couple of items, will call again on my next visit to the island....

Really good in stock range which is cleary what you need on an island. Got string for glasses for kayaking, midgey spray replenishment- phew! Also lots of things like SUP hire as well. Likely to have what you need...
