Isle of Eriska Hotel Spa & Island

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful dining experience in the Isle of Eriska Hotel in this most beautiful part of the west of Scotland, north of Oban. From our cocktails in the cosy bar, served with Hors d’ oeuvres, followed by Amuse Bouche and dinner in the restaurant, the superb quality of the food was amongst the best we have experienced. All the staff we met were extremely professional, polite, knowledgeable and welcoming, a credit to the hotel and management. We look forward to many more future visits in 2025 and beyond.

Fabulous place, great walks, quiet, beautiful, excellent service and the Victorian Suite is incredible, with a glass ceiling and an open fire. The spa and pool are very pleasant. The staff were so helpful, and gave us a tour of the whole island in the hotel’s 4x4, a book and a beautiful print of the building in acknowledgement that our ancestors used to own the place. Despite our family having sold it nearly one hundred years ago, the receptionist, Cathy (sp?) recognised the surname immediately. A special occasion was made even more special.

We stayed at the Isle of Eriska for my birthday and it was wonderful! The junior suite was beautiful, huge and very well maintained. The only thing that would improve would be a mini fridge for water etc. Dinner on in the restaurant was nice, but service a little slow at times - especially when another guest had complained and they became the main focus while we (and everyone else) had to wait quite a while. Breakfast was fantastic, and a special shout out to the assistant GM who was incredibly helpful and even arranged for late check out for us so we could enjoy the hotel further. We’re definitely planning on returning, hopefully in the summer months to enjoy the full island and making the most of it during the lighter evenings. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

what a find! beautiful hotel in fantastic location.. arrived to be given a complementary upgrade to a fabulous room with four poster bed over looking the gardens. the newly refurbished spa was outstanding.. The walk around the island was stunning and so peaceful.. the resident highland coos were a treat still to find the otters .. lovely restaurant with lounge with open coal fire.. staff were very professional and helpful hopefully return again in the future.

The Isle of Eriska is a bucolic Scottish dreamland. The Hotel is ultra cozy in the ultimate beauty of country charm. The staff is a Dream Team of skill and friendliness second to none. Everyone made me feel comfortable in every way. Activities I wanted were arranged: fishing, clay pigeon shooting and archery. I thank all staff members, however, Callum stole my heart. I highly recommend this beautiful and unique place to enjoy nature and loving care.

Beautiful location and grounds, walk around the island well worth it, take your time and enjoy the great views, saw red squirrels and deer. Looked out for otters but no joy. Make sure you walk to the highest point for the views. Best use wellies(available at hotel) or walking boots. Our room was spacious, peaceful and with a comfy big bed, B&O music streamer a nice touch. Antique wardrobe and drawers a bit knackered but part of the character I suppose. Lovely open fire and very comfortable lounge and bar areas. Foodwise main restaurant closed for kitchen refurb, so we ate at the Deck. Great views at breakfast time. Breakfast was good but not 5 star. Tea good, coffee average. Granola needs improvement totally lacking imagination. If the chef needs some ideas take a trip to the Black Bull in Sedbergh and see what a quality breakfast is! We had dinner twice, the first meal was good 4 out of 5, the second meal was truly excellent 5 out of 5. We had a nice relaxing swim and Jacuzzi in the Spa. Service provided by all staff was excellent. This is not a cheap hotel, think part of the cost is the premium for the peaceful island location, excellent service and the wonderful House. All in all we had a lovely stay hence the 5 out of 5 overall.
