A wildlife wonderland

We are situated amidst the most incredible wildlife in the UK. Not only is the Morvern Peninsula utterly beautiful, but we are surrounded by Otters, Pine Marten, Red Squirrels, White Tailed Eagles, Golden Eagles, Merlin, Peregrine Falcons and numerous other species

Morvern is a Golden Eagle hotspot

A large number of nests on the peninsula means that Goldies are a regular spot

Wildlife photography workshops

We run wildlife photography workshops throughout the year, but particularly in the Autumn/Winter/Spring months. Click for more info.

This is the place for otters!

Loch Sunart has long been famous for its otter population, but the whole peninsula has incredible habitat for otters and they are found all over. We get an otter visiting us in front of the hotel most evenings

What do our guests say?

We (couple and dog) had an impromptu stay at the Lochaline Hotel last night after missing the last ferry to Mull. We're not as miffed at missing the ferry after staying here as it was absolutely lovely - food was incredible and Shaley was lovely and very accommodating. Thank you for having us!

Welcoming and friendly, nothing was any trouble for hosts Shayley and Peter. Our room was very comfortable, with a view to die for. Breakfasts were just right, and the evening pizza was the best. Peter took us out for the day on a wildlife tour of the peninsula, a terrific learning experience. A great wee hotel, in a great wee place. We can highly recommend.

Its not every hotel where the owner takes you to see the northern lights after dinner. One of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in - fantastic. When we checked in, the owner suggested that the Northern Lights might make an appearance. As we finshed dinner he suggested to all the guests that they might like to head up the road with him, and see if they were out. Off we went. The lights did not make one of their better displays, but still an everning to remember. Many Thanks
