Stayed for the week-end with friends at kinloch castle hotel and absolutely loved it despite the wet ,wet ,wet, weather . The whole island is spectacularly beautiful and the wildlife amazing , lots of differant walks to do , thrilled to see the deer eating the sea weed in the bay at Kilmory . The castle itself is quirky and interesting and so in need of loving restoration , the tour is well worth doing. The hostel accomodation is one step up from basic and it could do with some tlc, but their four poster beds in the oak rooms are interesting and I really loved them. I can only say our stay was wonderful . I expected it to be cold and draughty but the whole place was cosy .The food in the bistro was excellant , hearty fare, huge portions and good value. The staff are all young helpful and knowledgeable, but laid back and relaxed it suited the place. The bar had a lovely log fire and candlelit after dark , wonderful ! more
