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 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.

Friendly warm welcome to this lovely hotel. Still awaiting the finishing touches to the refurb, this is going to be fantastic when finished. The food was delicious and it was lovely to have a little swim off the beach in front. We will be back again.

Fantastic upgrade to a familiar stopover

Great stay for a short work trip at the newly refurbished Lochaline Hotel. Been staying here for years, and the new owners have done a great job of re-modelling the rooms to be all en suite. Warm welcome (even late on a Sunday night), hearty breakfast and the biggest TV in a hotel room I've ever seen, not that you need it when you have views like this!

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.

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.
