The stunning 5 star Isle of Eriska Hotel, Spa and Island is a haven of tranquillity located just off the West Coast Highlands of Scotland, a two hour drive from Glasgow and two and a half hours from Edinburgh. The Island provides the most picturesque setting for artists wanting to paint in one of the most beautiful locations in the world. From the highlands that make the most striking backdrop to the calm waters of the loch and wild otters that live on the untouched beach – Eriska is effortlessly wonderful.
 

Painters and sketchers alike are invited to this heavenly private island to leave everything else behind and enjoy three days of well deserved rest, relaxation and painting… or drawing! Artists will certainly not lack inspiration whilst on the island: the idyllic hotel is set in 300 acres of grounds with striking views overlooking the sea, the mainland and surrounding islands, and the sunsets are simply breathtaking. As well as otter spotting, it is also not rare to see red deer, a golden eagle or even a whale whilst on Eriska.
 

After a relaxing day creating masterpieces, guests will be waited on hand and foot as they are invited to the hotel’s sumptuous 3AA Rosette Restaurant to eat a delicious supper. The hotel is famed for its’ diverse menu of fresh and local produce, its’ extensive wine list, and very special Farmhouse Cheese Trolley.
 

There are 25 luxurious bedrooms at the hotel. For those travelling in a couple or small group, the Luxury Spa Suites and the two bed-roomed Cottage Suites come complete with their own private hot tubs where guests can kick back and relax with their partner or friends whilst enjoying a glass of their favourite wine, soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying the unique experience of staying on a private island.
 

If guests decide to put down their pencil or brush, Eriska offers endless other opportunities to relax or keep active and all leisure facilities such as the indoor heated pool, sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, driving range, indoor tennis courts and 9-hole golf course are complimentary. Special activities such as kayaking, whiskey tasting, horse riding and clay pigeon shooting can be arranged on request. Or why not board a private speed boat and cruise through the sea to visit some famous sites from the Bond movies?

Easily accessible from Oban, Connel Airport, Glasgow and Edinburgh, guests can arrive by car, boat, or even aboard a private sea plane from Glasgow Airport!

The wildlife, incredible landscapes and serene location all help to give Eriska a magical feel that truly is unrivalled and makes it the perfect location for a relaxing arty getaway.
