Clean, welcoming retreat 40min from the ferry. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at the Loch Erisort Inn. Scott and Elaine clearly care about their guests and go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. Even though we arrived later than expected and had to leave early for the ferry, they thoughtfully packed us breakfast to take with us and even brought coffee to our room the night before. Their kindness and hospitality made our stay truly memorable. The room was spotless, warm, and incredibly comfortable, with cozy beds, excellent blackout curtains, and a wonderful hot shower (or bubble bath!) after a day of exploring. It was also very dog-friendly with easy parking, and if you’re up early, you may even spot local wildlife—we were lucky enough to see red deer and Highland cattle. We would happily stay here again!

Somewhere you will never want to leave.

The homeowners were nothing but lovely and were very accommodating to my mother who sprained her ankle just a couple days prior on our trip, giving us a ride to the stones and to where the bus comes. The view was AMAZING. Just so magical. I'm sure any room would be lovely and everything was so clean. I don't doubt the work they put into making it so. We enjoyed sitting in the eating area and looking out at the amazing nature right outside. I only wish we could have stayed longer. (Oh and there was such a sweet little girl when we were there who just lit up my mums face when we arrived and seeing such a ball of light and joy made everything just that much better.)

Should've stayed longer. (Plan your bus routes ahead of time! Avoids any unnecessary stress)
