Notice anything unusual? A feeling, perhaps, of relaxed well-being slowly spreading through your mind and body? That's the An Lochan Effect; and if you can faintly sense it when you merely visit our website, imagine how much more intense the feeling will be when you come and stay with us here in the beautiful Kyles of Bute.

Owned and run by the McKie family since 1997 - this small yet perfectly formed establishment really is the ideal place for that much needed escape from the stresses and pressures of everyday life. As you arrive, the magical beachside setting will, we guarantee, take your breath away. You'll be equally delighted by the warmth of the welcome awaiting you within. And, as for your pleasure-loving hedonistic side . . well, let's just say that if you enjoy the finer things in life - supremely fresh seafood and game, fine wines and ludicrously comfortable beds - your stay at An Lochan will leave absolutely nothing to be desired.

In 2005, Harpers & Queen magazine voted us one of their Top 100 Hotels in the World. We do hope you'll come and judge for yourself.
