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!

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.

The owners were very friendly and made us pizza for dinner and a lovely breakfast. We explored the beach across the street and went for a short hike nearby. Our room was comfortable and recently updated. It was a very pretty ride from the ferry.

Lovely 1 night stop .

A late booking due to ferry disruption at Oban . We’re very happy that we stayed here to get the Lochaline ferry to Mull the next day. It couldn’t have been better. The room was very clean & comfortable , the breakfast excellent & the owners a lovely friendly couple . A real find !
