Follow the runnings of a 5 star hotel situated on its own private island on the West Coast of Scotland and let us give you a flavour of our unique Eriska Experience.

So after months of preparation our examination day finally arrived and the inspector from The Green Tourism Business scheme arrived.

My father was once asked what we farmed her at Eriska having proudly stated his credentials as a farmer. Indeed we had once had a thriving business here at eriska witha dairy herd and a highland herd but laws and regulations have curtailed all these activities but he still proudly boasted of his agricultural skills.

Re: Wood pellet over consumption
It's never ideal to run out when you need them but it's great to see you using them.

I hope the repairs are holding well!
Re: 39th Year at Eriska kicks off
We will look forward to seeing you in 2012 and hopefully it will be a good boating year!
Re: 39th Year at Eriska kicks off
Glad to hear that "stealth mode" has been replaced by personal communication and would like to take this opportunity of wishing all at "Eriska" a happy and prosperous 2012. Should the weather be even relatively
kind in the spring and/or summer we hope to visit via your mooring buoys and pontoons.
Re: Busy End to 2011
Hi, happy new year to you and your team; we have entered the new year with a Labrador puppy and have named him Eriska chosen because our last lab. Marmite, found the hotel, the island,the welcome from his Lab friends- not least the biscuits, to be heaven; rolling on fish eggs, swimming amongst the rocks and knowing we had to walk all the way round the Island to get back- no short cuts allowed. So,after he died quite young from cancer we know he would want the puppy that followed him to know about Eriska. So no doubt he joins others with the same name. I am sure we will be coming to introduce him to the Eriska experience some time soon. regards David and Steph.
Re: Christmas now in full swing
Merry Christmas- we all raised a glass to toast your Birthday and your absence. I trust the weather is slightly better but with roaring log fires and a full bar we are struggling to survive¬!
Re: Christmas now in full swing
It seems strange reading this and not being with you this year, but I guess spending Christmas Day on the beach somewhat makes up for it. Happy Christmas from our new home on the other side of the world in New Zealand.
Re: Wonders of everchanging Seasons
One of the wonders is the unpredictability, we dress for the sunshine and it rains, we prepare for the cold and it is mild but that is Scotland and in many ways thats what makes it so special. Have a safe journey and we are all looking forqrad to seeing you and the Christmas Festivities

Re: Relais Chateaux membership begins!
We are delighted to be working alongside so many well known names in the British hotel Industry and the fact that we are all individual and allowed to excel in different areas is one of the attractions of Relais & Chateaux . We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship but above all we look forward to welcoming Mr and Mrs Heath back to Eriska for their 20th Visit at Christmas.
Re: Relais Chateaux membership begins!
The Isle of Eriska and Relais & Chateaux; the perfect marriage!
It has my blessing.
Congratulations Beppo
