A Day in the Life of Eriska

Birthday party with the girls!

Its amazing how time flies when you are having fun but every time I look in the mirror and see my slightly grey muzzle I remember that I am not quite as young as I once was but i then try to push it to the back of my mind. However it seems to be different for my two leggeds as they seem to take pride in making me feel old and again this year insisted on me dressing up and showing off my age by attending a birthday celebration.

In truth I would have preferred all to have been forgotten but when I reached the party I had changed my mind. Firstly there was the surprise that my little sister has been brought up all the way from Edinburgh and then naturally my other sister- Marti who lives with the two leggeds at Lymphoy was there. However I was surprised that given this party was for my birthday they all seemed to think it was appropriate to join in- I can't think why??
 
But when the cake was presented and I had blown out the candles with a bit of help from the wind we all tucked in and a good cake it was too. The two leggeds had bought a special Birthday cake book for us and now they can offer them to friends who come to celebrate at the hotel so as long as you invite me i can put a good word in for you!!

Fantastic break

We were at Erisca for the 5th time last week to celebrate my 50th Birthday, a page would not be enough to praise this hotel, the staff, room food everthing was brilliant, but what does it for us is the welcome that Zoe gets, unlike rather standard hotels this luxurious retreat welcome dogs and understand that people are responsible owners. Zoe enjoyed swimming 3 times a day ,and the fantastic walks round the island.She also took Dibleys advice and sampled the sausages on many occasions.
A big thank you to all staff

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Glad to hear that "stealth mode" has been replaced by personal communication and would like to take this opportunity of wishing all at "Eriska" a happy and prosperous 2012.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: Forward Carpet Planning
Put them back at Mums. She could use them in here spare rooms!
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
