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.

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!
