HARRY POTTER FANS, listen up: This hotel is WALKING DISTANCE from the Harry Potter Bridge here in Glenfinnan. You know the one. FLying car, chamber of secrets, Hogwarts express? Yeah, that's right!! NOT ONLY THAT, but it is right on Lock Shiel which, in addition to being absolutely stunning, is the lake that Hogwarts is on. Compare pictures to this lake to photos from the second task(mermaids) from Goblet of Fire....you will SCREAM! Enough about Harry Potter. This hotel is quaint, homey, and incredibly warm and lively. The entire staff goes above and beyond to make sure that your needs and desires are met. From the included breakfast every morning to the offering of packed lunches for your daily hikes the team here is a cut above the rest. The rooms are large with beautifully updated, modern washrooms and showers. The tea kettles and assortment of coffee and teas(in room) are brilliant and the perfect touch. The main dining area/restaurant is delicious with terrific daily specials. The bar area/casual dining area is just as great and features traditional, Scottish, live music some nights. This place will remain at the TOP of my list not only for myself but for recommendations to anyone that may ask. Thank you to the brilliant team behind this beautiful hotel.

But all that sightseeing made me hungry so when my walking took me past the door of the St. Columba Hotel and they had their menu posted- I decided to pop in and rest my feet and fill my then empty stomach! We walked into the hotel and were directed to the back where the restaurant is. A very friendly server found us the perfect table by the windows so we could watch the water in the distance and the pretty surrounding countryside. I ordered the cream of tomato soup with the sirloin on ciabatta bread and my friend had the salmon platter. Know that the soup is enough for a meal into in self and is served with some the best bread I had. We split it as it was a huge portion. My sandwich was great! Warm meat on fresh bread and shaved Parmesan cheese on top. This also came with a large portions of chips (fries). There was no hurry so we sat and lingered over our beers as we debated which ferry to catch back. Very good food in a casual environment. And if you tell them you are in a hurry, they will make sure to suggest items that come up quicker than others. If you are on the Island of Iona- walk up the hill on the way to the Abby and check this place out. It may be one of the highlights of your visit. I know it was for us!

Our room was large and comfortable with a great view of the harbour. The restaurant serves a classic Scottish breakfast, and the dinners (menu changes daily: we stayed 3 nights) showcase the local seafood and meat. The food was very good.

It is not cheap, but good value for money if you want to push the boat out a bit for a special break away.

This big family-run hotel is situated in upper Tobermory, and is perhaps better known to children…read moreas 'Josie Jump's House' from 'Balamory'. It was formerly known as the Harbour Heights hotel It was originally built in the 1930s by the Admiralty as accommodation for their naval training base here, but there are few signs of that heritage remaining other than a few nautical decorations in the bar and breakfast areas. It's been completely renovated in recent times and everything is clean and in good order. It's run by locals who go a long way to make you feel welcomed, and is set back from the bustle of the town so a peaceful night's sleep is practically guaranteed. There is a small bar and restaurant serving locally sourced food - it's fairly standard pub-style food and is perfectly fine but nothing to write home about. I did however like the option of a breakfast muffin with scrambled egg and smoked salmon - not your usual hotel breakfast menu item, and very tasty to boot. The hand pumps in the bar were off when I visited so the choice of beer was pretty narrow. They did have a reasonable selection of spirits and whisky though. All the rooms are en-suite. I had a twin to myself that wasn't huge, but the bathroom was a good size, the room was clean and tidy and everything worked. They also have free wi-fi throughout (yay!), which worked although the signal strength wasn't brilliant, making internitting a rather tedious affair at best. I originally gave it 3 stars but have upped it to 4 because of the friendly and helpful staff, who really made a difference to my stay by producing a phone charger for me when I discovered that I'd left mine at home. Excellent service!

Only a 5-minute walk from where we were staying, the yellow outside marks the unmissable location for Josie Jumps house and we also heard they did decent food too. So after taking far too many photos of the outside (the locals started staring), we headed inside and to the lovely little restaurant area. We were greeted and shown to our table, we were a little on the early side before service but that was no issue. The room had various sea themed displays and articles on the walls which were interested to look at, the table was laid out wonderfully although our table of 4 was laid for 2, this was soon rectified. As it was a Sunday we opted for their very well priced 3-course meal, however, we didn't have a choice on the meat for the roast dinner by hey ho. We ordered and the starters came flying out of the door (quick I mean not through the air) and this was delicious, the prawns were perfect and the garlic mushrooms to die for. Roast for mains and this too was perfect in portion size and really nice, the meat was a little dry and not how I have beef but passable. Dessert was divine, a local cheese board for me and was a lovely end to the meal. Overall great food, good service and would defo go back again, oh and reasonably priced.
