Came here for two nights and had upgrade to the Hilltop Reserve No 6 "Weasel" which was amazing with all the mod cons, large comfortable bed in decent sized bedroom with two wardrobes, dressing table and large bathroom with fabulous shower, double sinks and large bath. Penhaligan toiletries smelt amazing. Kitchen area all well equipped with what you need including ice, milk and water in the large fridge. Lounge area great with the gas fire and large TV, comfy sofa. Sliding glass doors out onto the decking with sunken hot tub (which we used even in the rain!), couple of chairs and table (needing bit of TLC) with amazing views over the water of Lynn of Lorne leading into Loch Linnhe. The hotel is quaint and charming inside, homely and very comfortable without being over pretentious. There are welly boots, umbrellas and walking sticks and hire of bikes to walk or cycle around the island. We took advantage of using the spa, gym and pool areas on both days feeling the benefit of it. Managed to play croquet on the front lawn in the rain! So very relaxing and would love to go back again and thoroughly recommend to others for a breath taking stay away. The staff were so very friendly and attentive, sorting out a couple of "faux pax" to our satisfaction without any fuss, that we came away happy that we had such a great time. Thoroughly enjoyed the breakfasts although second morning no kippers available, but smoked salmon great second choice. In the evening there is a special tasting menu or a three course table d'hote menu. One of my favourite paintings by Sir Frank Dicksee "La Belle Dame Sans Merci" hangs in the dining room and I was pleased to see it in oils as I only have a framed print at home. Not sure if this is the original or if it is still in the Bristol Art Gallery? So thank you to one and all at The Isle of Eriska for a fabulous time away and for your hospitality, to Lewis, Sarah, Liz, Jordan and all the staff whom we didn't get your first names. So very much appreciated. xx
