Guest Reviews
- Marina (10/5): - one of a kind! amazing
- Maritza (8/5): - A beautiful island. Hotel spa and pool fantastic but rooms and communal areas very tired.
- Sammar (10/5): - We stayed one night for our anniversary in the tower and it was magical! Beautiful views, lovely room, friendly staff, and gorgeous grounds to take walks. Food was exceptional and service was top notch without being stuffy. You won’t regret it and nothing since has matched the standard of service and elegance.
- Stewart (8/5): Birthday treat. - 1 night stay for my partners birthday. Beautiful private island, recommend the spa and the deck to visit, it the weather is nice just enjoy walking around the island looking ate the animals.
- Paul (10/5): Best Place In The Western Highlands. - Second time here. Fantastic hotel with great facilities. We use it as a base to explore the islands. Dog friendly too!
- Emma (10/5): - Perfect weekend away
- Verified traveler (10/5): Relaxing stay in Scotland - Wonderful stay! Very comfortable suite. Very clean. Breakfast options were excellent. Staff were very attentive. Fitness gym was nicely equipped and clean. We had a spa suite. It was amazing and well maintained.
- Andrew (10/5): - Highly recommend! Felt like we were in another world.
- Sadie McCulloch (10/5): - Really peaceful, very clean. Dining room experience could be better. Staff really need better training with attention to detail in the breakfast area.
- James (10/5): - Staff were amazing!
- fuat (4/5): - Our stay was very disappointing and far from what you would expect from a 5-star property. The room was barely cleaned — apart from making the beds, no real effort was made, despite specifically mentioning that the bathroom had not been cleaned properly. The service throughout our stay was poor, and the staff were generally unfriendly. We were a group of four, yet only one small portion of strawberry jam was provided at breakfast. When my son politely asked for another, the waitress refused, saying they couldn’t give more, even though it was clearly available at other tables. The dinner menu was also very limited, particularly for children, with hardly any suitable options. Unfortunately, the overall experience was unsatisfactory in every aspect. The property simply does not live up to its 5-star rating.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Super stay - Super stay. 90 mins spa treatment, relaxed times then wonderful meal. Loved every minaute of it.
- Hamish (10/5): - The main building is a beautiful old country house. The food is lovely with a very relaxing atmosphere. The Clarsach being played near the roaring wood fire was really special. Having your own island to explore is a bonus!
- Hernan (10/5): - Great option if you want a romantic getaway with your couple in a castle! Amazing place, great pool and spa.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - One of the best hotels I've ever stayed in (and I've stayed in a lot). It is incredibly beautiful, and the service is second to none. Quiet hotel, one of the comfiest beds I've ever slept in, the food was delicious - I really can't fault it. Worth every penny. The whole island is owned by the hotel, they have wild otters and seals - the spa was beautiful too. Highly recommend, I will be staying here again
- Reinier (10/5): - Great unique experience. The best experience was all the activities around the island. We did not expect the walks around the property and the otters point was our favorite.
- Susan (8/5): - A heritage property with lots of electrical outlets! Gorgeous setting!
- Laurie (10/5): - This was a fabulous hotel. Can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this private island escape. If you get a chance, upgrade to a spa room, they are amazing! The staff were lovely, the rooms very comfortable, bar and meals were great. Really enjoyed the accommodations and would very much like to visit again!
- Diane (6/5): Should be better for the price - A gorgeous property with beautiful grounds. Expensive and the bed was an old-fashioned uncomfortable spring mattress. Food was average and service for dinner was extremely slow. Walking the grounds was wonderful, and our breakfast haggis and sandwich for lunch were quite good.
- Kathleen (10/5): - Excellent. Gorgeous house and grounds. Loved the walk around the island. The food was exemplary! Would stay here again. 🙂💕
- Jo Ann (10/5): - Stunning castle with spectacular grounds at your disposal. The meals were amazing and the staff incredibly helpful. We had a small villa just a few steps from the castle with all of the amenities imaginable. Only regret is we should have stayed longer!!!!
- lily (10/5): - Such a beautiful peaceful place.
- tarek (8/5): - Lovely property More dining options and changing menus every day would be great- breakfast buffet and choices need improvemney
- Katherine (10/5): Wonderful Scottish manor - Hotel was like staying in a country manor. Service was wonderful and so was the food. Lots of fun activities, just wish it had not rained so we could have done more! We booked spa treatments instead which were very good. Definitely recommend.
- Laura (10/5): - I bit of an off the beaten path property but worth the drive. Really gorgeous country estate and the staff was beyond fantastic! They made me feel very special and looked after. Will definitely stay again. I felt like a queen while I was there.
- Martin (10/5): Excellent - Excellent food, room and facilities. Nice restaurant and 'The Deck' is a superb more relaxed option with equally good food. Thanks
- Verified traveler (8/5): Traditional setting - Hotel is older style, which is nice but communal areas, main dining room is needed refurb to keep style, but to make facilities plusher for 5 star rating. We stayed hilltop retreats, very nice & more modern. We'll set out for self catering. Overall good stay, a bit expensive for what it was.
- glen (10/5): Beautiful location; friendly helpful staff - Beautiful isolated location, friendly caring staff, spacious room in the main house was lovely. Will try to return some day ….
- Alison (4/5): - Staff saved the day by being so nice and friendly. Very disappointing, I was not able to book a meal for the first night and they could not feed us with very few guests. Check -in was a marathon. Food was limited, same menu for 4 days, average and over priced. Cleanliness was not great and the place needs a major overhaul and refurbishment. No golf course and grounds have been neglected, nothing like the photo. It is clearly trading and relying on its past glory. An experience not to be repeated.
- markos (10/5): - Staff are brilliant. Next level service, so friendly and professional. The new fine dining concept was brilliant at the chefs table. Highly recommended this property!
- Carolina (10/5): - Beautiful hotel. It is a gem in Scotland. We enjoyed every moment at Eriska: the dinner, the spa, the swimming pool, the house, the delicious breakfast. We will definitely come back and stay longer in this beautiful hotel!
- Joanne (10/5): - Fantastic hotel in a stunning location. Had a lovely walk around the island. Very helpful and attentive staff. Food was delicious and the swimming pool area was very relaxing. All in all a great few days away to chill and recharge. Would highly recommend this hotel.
- Mark (10/5): - Incredible place to stay
- Kenneth (10/5): - Fantastic hotel. Great facilities. Big swimming pool, sauna and steam room. Big room
- Tammy (10/5): - This charming hotel is an incredible oasis! I absolutely loved the older building and the incredible way they decorated it. The staff, INCREDIBLE! I will definitely want to come back again and refer friends to this place.
- Troy (10/5): - Fantastic getaway on a beautiful property. Food, service, and activities were great.
- Jorge (10/5): - Beautiful property very unique experience. Would highly recommend this hotel
- simon (10/5): - I honestly felt like I was at Downton Abbey. Staying here was the highlight of my stay in Scotland. The room was beautiful. ‘Loved that each room is named after a Scottish isle; mine was Eigg. The grounds are magical and that swing…! We hiked, went to the beach, which offers outstanding views. The dinner and the staff were remarkable. Being from California, there are only two places that are at this level of service, comfort and exquisite taste; Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry and The Post Ranch Inn near Big Sur. I will always have this place in my heart.
- Ann (10/5): Night Away - Very comfortable and relaxing. Service was excellent and food delicious if a bit expensive.
- Jane (8/5): Lovely hotel - Beautiful hotel in a lovely setting. Friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful dinner. I felt helpings could have been larger at breakfast and service at breakfast was not good. Nevertheless I would stay again.
- Jane (8/5): - We stayed here many years ago it was really special, staff were all in kilts, they fed badgers at the door!! Now its lost that unique touch, still a lovely hotel but there it ends 😔we only stayed one night and i heard them say they didnt change the menu think you would struggle if you stayed longer !!!
- Frank (10/5): - Brilliant from beginning to end
- Bassam (10/5): - This property was absolutely stunning. The food was delicious. The rooms were so elegant, clean, and spacious. We felt transported back in time. The property is set on a private island. Walks and views around the grounds were fantastic. Highly recommend and would stay again.
- Jamie (8/5): Lovely remote hotel though not dog-friendly - Lovely hotel with very friendly staff and great food. Nice walk around the island and outdoor activities offered. Was really looking forward to using pool and spa, but only allowed in for 30 minutes at a time which negates purpose of relaxation. It also claims to be a 'dog-friendly' hotel, but dogs are only allowed in bedrooms and cannot be left unattended in room so really the opposite of dog-friendly.
- Garrad (8/5): - Lovely property, great isolated location. Lots of games and sports on offer. Dogs are allowed in rooms but no public areas of the hotel which is disappointing. Usually dogs are allowed in the bar areas of dog friendly hotels. Not even allowing that is restrictive and prevents guests from drinking in the bar or having afternoon tea without abandoning their dogs. Hopefully they will find a suitable location in future for sharing time with their four legged friends other than outside.
- Douglas (10/5): Isle of Eriska Hotel - Excellent food, location and service. Stay slightly spoiled as spa not available for my wife when I tried to book a week before trip. Promised call back did not materialise. Also, golf course is not available although it is advertised. The 6 holes supposedly available were growing grass 2 inches tall on the fairways! Otherwise we cannot fault this hotel in any way.
- Lorraine (10/5): Paradise island - Another wonderful stay at Eriska, faultless. A perfect haven to destress at. Staff are amazing. Manager Jochen very helpful. We will be back.
- Natasha (8/5): Great hotel, but expensive - The hotel was amazing and the food was really good. The spa and pool area are very tired though, which is surprising given the cost of the hotel.
- Dennis (10/5): - Beautifully situation. Coastal short walks. Sta
- Bronagh (10/5): Exellent - perfection....staff are exellent kind and attentive. The private hot tub was an additional joy
- Ann (8/5): - Lovely welcoming hotel, staff were wonderful and very helpful, warm and cosy atmosphere. On the down side, the food was poor, extremely expensive for what you were served. The first evening I had halibut which I really love. It was overcooked and extremely salty. Breakfast, my husband loves scrambled eggs and salmon but he doesn't like his scrambled eggs wet. Asked for them to be cooked firm, came out sloppy, sent them back cam out brown and crispy.
- Carol (8/5): - Excellent location, friendly and helpful staff. Great food. Pity about the necessary Covid restrictions.
- Matthias (4/5): Overprized - Considering the prize we paid in January, and knowing that there are restrictions and closures (Spa) at the time of travel (end of August), we still had high expectations. The staff was indeed super-polite, the dinner/breakfast excellent (as one would expect), but the whole atmosphere was tainted by bizarre restrictions (like we had to ask for fresh towels and the room to be made, as some patrons had requested that no-one enters their empty room). I'm an NHS consultant myself, and have to deal with a lot of bizarre regulations of how to do things, drawn up by administrators working from home. Unfortunately, during our one week holiday this year, I had to be told by the general manager that these restrictions are "safety measures", and that he refused to refund the 15% difference in VAT. Considering the 6 nights we spend there, this did amount to quite a large sum. I would have considered it as an appropriate compensation for closure of the SPA and swimming pool as well as restricted service, but was told that it was at the discretion of management to pass it on to the patrons. In general, the Hotel appears to have quite a healthy profit margin for what they "offer". In January, they offered 1 hour of falconry experience for the 6 of us at the cost of £950. I don't know what the cut of the hotel was for this, but we booked directly with paul@finnfalconry.co.uk who charged us £300 for 3 hours, which was an experience of a lifetime.
- James (10/5): Two night stay. - Excellent stay during coved period, every possible thing done to make our stay safe and enjoyable. Food excellent and very friendly service.
- Caroline (4/5): - I have stayed at this hotel several years ago and the experience was fantastic. This time however the experience was extremely disappointing. The staff, particularly in the dinning room were extremely inexperienced, food service was slow, the waitress poured tea over our table, gave the wrong order to the wrong person and much more. The catering manager did not appear to be in control and gave us very little confidence. The food however, was very good. We had to queue at breakfast for glasses and cereal, not automatically topped up. Not what you expect from a 4 or 5 star hotel. I also think the spa facilities are very tired and requires investment to update. I would not recommend this hotel, given the price being asked.
- Sandy (8/5): Beautiful Grounds and Hotel - Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately the hotel was undergoing renovation and it caused some disruption to our service. Spa treatment was a big disappointment. I’d recommend staying at the hotel though. The grounds were lovely but I can only imagine how beautiful it would be in the summer time!!
- John (8/5): Enjoyable short trip - Lovely place for a one night trip. Room very spacious and comfortable. Excellent breakfast. Log fires dotted around the hotel give a great atmosphere in the winter. Good activities with The pool and indoor tennis court.
- Richard (8/5): Unique location with wonderful food - We had a wonderful 4 days at the isle of Eriska. The room with a view over the lawn was beautiful and comfortable. Beautiful island with lovely walks along the shoreline with amazing views. The food was excellent, beautiful breakfast with quality ingredients and options, very helpful and friendly staff, nothing was too difficult for them. We had the a carte dinner on our last evening and it was excellent. The lounges were very comfortable and the staff kindly put the log fires on for us whenever we were there. A few minor points to improve on include: - the welcome should be done in the lounge area rather than in the doorway - there should be tea and coffee facilities in the the room without having to ask for it - we only ate once at the Deck restaurant as the menu was very basic and the room had no atmosphere - our bill had 3 errors so they need to introduce a better signing process each time you purchase something. Overall, we loved our stay and would come back.
- Neil (10/5): - Myself and my husband stayed here at the last minute while deciding to go away for the night before going back to work after new year. It’s a lovely hotel on its own island, staff were very friendly , lovely log fires in the lounge areas and if you fancy a walk around the island they provide wellies and brollies at the front door for you if the weather is not so good. There’s also a pool and spa , which we enjoyed . Breakfast was fab with lots of choice and cooked to order. We would definitely come back here.
