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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
