“Fantastic location, wonderful views across the harbour, lovely food and comfortable rooms. ”

“The staff was very kind, the restaurant is excellent.”

“Location was excellent for the distilleries we wanted to visit and to the ferry.”

“Great view, friendly and helpful staff, delicious breakfast and warm rooms! ”

“I left my shirt hanging behind the bathroom door. Before I even realized it, Islay hotel staff sent me an email letting me know about my shirt. Since I was traveling around England the next week, they mailed it to my UK location without any hesitation. Food options on Islay are limited to a co-op down the street from the hotel. Dinner at the restaurant is nice. Don't miss the full scottish breakfast because it is exceptional.”

“What a lovely place! The staff are attentive and welcoming, the facilities immaculate, and you can’t beat the location. We always looked forward to sheltering back at the hotel for a warm meal and good company after long cold days of walking to the distilleries. Highly recommend for anyone touring Islay! ”

“Food was good! Our waiter was funny, friendly and knowledgeable”

“Loved the location, our room was beautiful! Dinner was fabulous, and we loved the bar with live music, excellent selection of scotch. Nigel is a star; thank you Nigel!”

“Our room was beautiful, beds were comfortable. Loved the shower. Nigel and the rest of the staff were wonderful, but especially Nigel! There is live music Thursday & Saturday nights. By all means make a reservation for dinner at the hotel- it was fabulous!”

“Breakfast was great. Lots of traditional options as well as plenty of food that people with dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten-free) can eat. The hotel had a great style and was right on the water. Perfect location to wander around Port Ellen. The rooms were comfy, clean, and had great modern updates. The staff was attentive. I left my jacket in the dining room at dinner and didn't notice. The staff recognized me the next morning at breakfast and brought me my jacket.”
