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.

Great views and comfortable accommodation

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.

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.

If you imagine a cozy inn by the sea in Scotland, this is it: beautiful coastline, comfortable room, and a friendly innkeeper. We stayed in five different places on this trip, all pretty good, and Lochaline Hotel was our favorite, by far.

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.

We were here in bad weather so didn’t get to take advantage of the beautiful setting as much as we would have liked to. Shaley and Peter were wonderful hosts! Very welcoming and full of info about the area and wildlife. Dinner and breakfast were both made to order and lovely. So glad we were able to stay with them!

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!
