Amazing place with stunning views.
Lovely boutique hotel on the shore of Loch Goil. Comfortable bed, nice bath and shower and AMAZING views from our room. What really makes this place so special are the owners - Billy and Liz (and their dog Watson). They are amazing hosts and lovely people. They really made our stay special. Thank you!!

Beautiful loch-side stay
We enjoyed our 2 night stay! Beautiful location and the view from the common area and restaurant was incredible. Breakfast was served as requested and was very tasty. Billy and Liz were very helpful and hospitable. Only downside to our stay was that the bed was quite small. Other than that the room had absolutely everything we needed, it was a nice and quiet sleep. Would stay again. We will definitely recommend to friends and family.

The ultimate place to chill — a beautiful room with a beautiful view in one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever visited. But, what made it truly exceptional was the warm and thoughtful customer service.

Our stay at The Shore House was very relaxing and comfortable. The weather was atrocious but this did not detract from the beautiful surroundings and as we were there for a complete chill out it didn’t matter at all. Our hosts, Liz and Billy were very welcoming and made sure we were well looked after. Will definitely return.

Truly exceptional!!
Truly amazing!! Even before we had arrived, the owner Billy had made contact with me to arrange dinner for both nights. The freshly prepared fish and chips was exceptional! The welcome was warm and friendly! Our room was beautiful, clean, comfortable and fully equipped! The view has to be seen to be believed and when accompanied with some locally brewed ales, it’s as close to perfection as you can get! Fantastic walks up through the Glens, where the scenery gets even better! Live music in the garden, fantastic beers and cocktails and a sighting of a huge whale within feet of the jetty! What more could you ask for!! Needless to say, we’ll be going back!! Huge thanks to Billy and Sam for all your hard work!

Stunning views, absolute best position on the loch. Billy and Lizzie have only been there since January but you would think they had been doing it for years. We will definitely be back.

Nice b&b in idyllic place!
Lovely B&B in stunning location. The view from their restaurant is amazing! The owners are really nice and helpful. Dinner is exceptional defo recommend to eat in. Homemade guiness steak pie and fish wow! Due to covid19 there wasn't buffet breakfast and was quite basic but ok. The little minus for our room we stayed in twin no 3 as no double were left. Next to our room there was a boiler which is very loud and its quite warm in the room while is operating, is running from early morning so no chance for a long sleep. Bed was ok.

Perfect location, great views and great food.
Although we asked for a double bed, we were given a slightly poky room with two single beds. Apart from this, the stay was lovely. We ate in the dining room both nights, which was delicious, as was the breakfast. The view is incredible, looking out over a serene sea loch with mountains in the distance, with a roaring wood fire - perfect!

Perfect to unwind
Superb location and great welcome from Gillian. We had a small room at the rear of the accommodation. It was clean and perfectly adequate. The view from the lounge was unbelievable and because of this we would have liked a room on the front of the property but this was not available at the time. Breakfast was exceptional
