About Us
Welcome to the Lochindaal Hotel
Located in the charming Port Charlotte, the Lochindaal Hotel stands as one of Islay’s most traditional family-run establishments, proudly owned by the MacLellan family for over 100 years. The current hosts, Iain and Katie, along with their five children, carry on the legacy of hospitality that has welcomed friendly locals, holidaying visitors, and many celebrated figures, all of whom leave with unique tales of their evenings at "The Lochindaal."
Our hotel boasts an impressive collection of rare and unusual Islay and other malt whiskies, which guests can explore in both of our inviting bars. During the colder months, the cosy log burners keep the atmosphere warm and welcoming.
Renowned for our infamous Seafood Platters, we serve these culinary delights in our sister restaurant, the Lochindaal Seafood Kitchen (www.lochindaalseafoodkitchen.co.uk | 01496 850000) during the summer months (April – October). To ensure the freshest seafood, we kindly request 24 hours’ notice for orders.
At the Lochindaal, we pride ourselves on our friendliness and humor; our staff are always welcoming and accommodating. The hotel features two distinct bars: the public bar, a dog-friendly area with pool and dartboard where guests can relax with their furry companions, and the lounge bar, offering a cosy dining area that seats up to 24 guests, complete with a log burner for a warm and inviting dining experience.
Guests can enjoy fresh bean-to-cup coffee served all day in both bars, as well as complimentary WiFi available throughout the hotel. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick drink, enjoying dinner, or staying overnight, we’re here to make your experience memorable. Just ask our friendly bar staff for the WiFi key code!
Join us at the Lochindaal Hotel for a delightful blend of tradition, comfort, and genuine hospitality.
