Set on its own private island off Scotland’s stunning West Coast, the Isle of Eriska Hotel invites you to experience a truly unforgettable Christmas. Renowned for its warm, luxurious hospitality and a rich heritage dating back to 1894, Eriska is a place where tradition, tranquillity and festive cheer come together.

Overlooking the waters of Loch Linnhe and the dramatic Morvern Mountains, the hotel sits at the mouth of Loch Creran in the heart of West Argyll. Despite its wonderfully secluded feel, Eriska is easily reached by car or train, with Glasgow just over a three hour drive away.

The hotel offers an exquisite collection of bedrooms, suites and private cottages, all within easy walking distance of the main house, spa and restaurant, perfect for a relaxed and indulgent festive stay.
