    · July 23rd, 2025
    Overall, the trip was fantastic. There were two glitches. 1. When we arrived in Eriskay, nobody was there to pick up our luggage. We had to call, and we had to wait around 20 mintues before someone picked us up. We were tired, and we still had miles to bike. We also needed to get to a dinner reservation. All other luggage transfers were perfect. 2. When we got to the Hotel Hebrides, we were told that there was one hotel room, and then a two bedroom apartment for two of the couples. However, the apartment only had one bathroom. Our itinerary specifically stated that all our reservations would have en suite bathrooms. This was a beautiful location, but we didn't get the bathrooms we were promised We loved every oher aspect of the trip.
