We saw in 2023 at Lach Mhara and enjoyed some beautiful sunshine for the first day of the year. The house still has availability for Easter and for various weeks in May, August and September, as well as later in the year

Our summer 2023 timetable will be published on our website in late January. Bookings will open in a phased approach. Phase 1 will cover 31 March – 4 June and will open for reservations shortly after publication. Bookings for the period from 4 June will be made available as soon as we are able to do so.

Finalised timetables will be issued when Transport Scotland confirms the 2023 fare levels, which is expected to happen in early January. Details such as sailing times have been agreed and are ready to be released as soon as a decision about fares is made.

We know that our customers, especially island businesses and the communities we serve are waiting for this news and we thank you for the patience you have shown. We have shared full details in our customer update, which you can read here: https://calm.ac/3YJZOYl

A peaceful start to the day ❤️ This is my favourite spot for a morning brew and if I manage to catch the sunrise, even better
