Comfortable hotel, perfect for soaking up the spirit of Islay. We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. It's the ideal place to experience the unique atmosphere and character of Islay. The restaurant was a true highlight. The chef is a master—the food was exceptional and a huge step above typical British fare. We especially recommend the smoked kipper for breakfast; it was absolutely delicious. Live music by a band at the bar on every Wednesday and Sunday.

Great 2 Night Stay

Great 2 night stay at this charming property. Friendly staff and the room was nice, though finishes were slightly dated (to be expected). Great views, excellent food and neat bar/lounge. I’d definitely stay here again!

Lovely hotel near two wonderful distilleries and the Museum of Islay Life. Most people could walk to Bruichladdich but Kilchoman is too far and you'll need a taxi.
