Photo of Isle of Eriska

“An idiosyncratic and loveable private island resort and spa just off the western coast of Scotland. Antiques mix with contemporary interiors in this peaceful haven. Think cosy living rooms with roaring fires, Michelin star restaurant, luxurious suites and pampering spa. A remarkable rural retreat.”

Hotel Review

When the Buchanan-Smith family bought the Isle of Eriska and transformed its Scottish Baronial ‘big house’ into an idiosyncratic, highly characterful hotel, they created a haven of peace for anyone who wants to relax and get away from it all in stunning surroundings, with seals, otters and beautiful views of neighbouring islands for company, plus the nightly visits of a family of badgers for bread and milk outside the dining room. Beppo Buchanan-Smith has added spa facilities to the testing nine hole golf course, with an indoor sports hall to come. A traditional, relaxing haven, where peace wraps around you like a warm tartan blanket.
