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.

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

Lovely surprise at Land's End
Wonderful hosts, very accommodating. Lovely spot with a view of the Isle of Mull across the bay. Had one of the best pasta meals in my life. Well worth the drive.

Great place to stay
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!

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!
