The nicest stay my wife and I encountered during our ten day tour of Scotland. Lochaline is a place of stunning beauty just a short ferry ride from the Isle of Mull. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating preparing delicious breakfasts and dinners every day. Our room had an incredible view of the inland sea, mountains and 700 year old castle ruins. When upon our departure we discovered a flat tire on our vehicle, our hosts helped us by contacting an area garage and gave us the tools we needed to remedy the issue. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone interested in a wonderful vacation experience.

We were greeted warmly by our host. The property has an amazing view of the harbour. Our room was modern, clean and well- equipped. We chose to have the homemade pizza for dinner and it was delicious. Breakfast was cooked to order and ready when we asked it to be. A lovely place to stay

Wonderful hotel

This is such a wonderful hotel. We feel very lucky to have stayed here. The couple who run it are lovely and gave great tips for places to visit. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, completely refurbished. We will come again one day. Thank you for having us.

A great choice

We needed a place to rest on our way north to Orkney. What better place to stay in such a well-run hotel. Nothing was too much trouble. Comfortable beds, delicious, filling breakfasts and friendly hosts and fellow guests made our stay relaxing and restful. If you wanted a peaceful getaway for a few days, here would be the perfect hotel and location.
What a view - can’t get much better!

Enjoyable Stay

The owners are lovely. Do everything they can to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The dining room and bed room were immaculately clean with a huge bathroom. The hotel is having a major over hall and is not completely finished and there is some evidence of this. The location is fantastic with beautiful views.

Fantastic views from the front of the hotel. If you can get a room looking down the sound of Mull towards Oban there can't be many better views in all of Scotland. The owners are lovely and very attentive to everything. Nice homemade pizza at night in the dining room and the breakfast is very good. The rooms and bathrooms are very modern, warm and and comfortable with all the usual mod cons. The Vertuo Nespresso machine in the rooms was an amazing touch - but I wish I'd asked for more milk as the (UHT) milk sachets spoiled my coffee a bit, but that's really the only fault I could find. My only regret was not bringing my dog as there was a Cockapoo that a guest brought but I didn't establish if the hotel was dug friendly. Overall a very nice hotel and the perfect stop off point if you're waiting to go to Mull.

The owners were very friendly and made us pizza for dinner and a lovely breakfast. We explored the beach across the street and went for a short hike nearby. Our room was comfortable and recently updated. It was a very pretty ride from the ferry.

The Lochaline Hotel is located in the tiny village of Lochaline, which is reached by a rather long drive on a single-track road. Although remote, the hotel rewards a stay with its peacefulness. It is located right on the sound. The ferry runs frequently to Mull and no reservation is needed. Our hosts were warmly welcoming and helpful. The room was clean and had a wonderful view of the sound. The breakfast was excellent and cooked to order.
