The hosts were very friendly and helpful, the food was great and the beds were comfortable. The location is excellent, out-of-the-way, with prime vies over the Sound of Mull and Ardtornish Castle, and wildlife all around.
Excellent stay in a very welcoming atmosphere, journey to this hotel is stunning, accommodation is clean and modern with excellent shower, the view from our room was amazing to say the least, we walked to the local social club at the ferry terminal which was the hub of the community and had a great time with the staff and patrons welcome refreshing.
Lovely little hotel with special views and so peaceful. The hosts are so accommodating and do everything to make your stay comfortable. Would certainly visit again if I was in the area.
A late booking due to ferry disruption at Oban . We’re very happy that we stayed here to get the Lochaline ferry to Mull the next day. It couldn’t have been better.
The room was very clean & comfortable , the breakfast excellent & the owners a lovely friendly couple . A real find !
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.
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
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.
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.
A fantastic place to stay for a night. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Was lucky to get the front room with great views over to Mull. Easy walk up to the rest of the village, and very close to the ferry terminal. Great breakfast!
Really enjoyed our stay. Very scenic area, saw porpoises several times and lovely areas to sit and look over the sea , and great place to swim . Lovely hosts .
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.
Outstanding ,very welcoming family run hotel .food was excellent ,great breakfast .pizzas were delicious as was the wine .room was immaculate .set in a great location looking over to mull .
