Another Place - the Machrie
9.4 (66 reviews)

Another Place - the Machrie ★★★★

📍 Machrie Hotel, Islay

"We enjoyed the privacy as it was at least a km away from the main road. A very nice hideaway if you want to get away from the bustling town. One thing though, please ensure you have your own car/transport covered as public transportation on Islay is not as convenient versus a normal city. Overall, a great place to stay! We’ll be back!"

Port Charlotte Hotel
9.2 (59 reviews)

Port Charlotte Hotel ★★★★

📍 Main St, Islay

"We called in at the Port Charlotte for a drink on the way back to Bowmore. I ordered a pint and a half of very average ale and nearly dropped my glass when asked for ten pounds! The server noted my look of incredulity and said 'you're not drinking in Wetherspoons here you know'. I have a feeling that's not the first time he has had to use that line. He was quite right too - the beer in Wetherspoons is usually better too."

Glenegedale House
9.9 (58 reviews)

Glenegedale House ★★★★★

📍 Glenegedale House, Glenegedale Isle of, Islay

"Two couples do it. Both are good people. Husband is serious and sincere, wife is kind and kind. It's a short walk from the airport and the bus stop is right in front of you, so the convenience is good and the scenery is perfect."

Islay House
8.0 (40 reviews)

Islay House ★★★

📍 House, Bridgend, Islay

"We had to book a last minute room here due to work getting done at home. The price wasn’t too bad for the room considering, it was warm and comfortable enough. Housekeeping severely lacking as it was coated with dust and the window sill was especially filthy. Nonetheless the room did the job, bath was nice with plenty of hot water. the bar was pleasant and reasonably priced. Of course the place needs a serious upgrade and a proper team of staff for such a historic building. (Staff on were fine but barely spoke English) It has so much potential and I feel it could be on par with the likes of Prestonfield. Instead of being run like a budget chain hotel."

Another Place - the Machrie ★★★★
"Comfortable hotel on Islay but a bit out of the way for anything. Golf course and beach are available but for whisky focused visits, better off to be at Bowmore or Port Ellen"

Port Charlotte Hotel ★★★★
"We went to the restaurant for dinner tonight, we had to book the table at the reception to ask if something was available. The lady there was exasperated at every question i asked, she sighed at every answer she made to me. I gave up wanting a table, it was such a bad experience, I never met such a rude person in Scotland, it is so unusual in Islay!!!"

Islay House ★★★
"This is the first time I’ve said on here avoid at all costs. Positive: comfy bed and good size room. Free parking and a bar. Negative: Exceptionally poor service at breakfast-allow at least an hour to finally get and eat a hot breakfast. We sent the porridge back to be reheated, we had to ask for the honey to go with it, we sent the toast back to get some colour on it rather than eating warm bread, then we had to ask for butter and jam ! No sign but you help yourself to coffee, (just put a sign up and it’s no problem). They only part service the rooms- they replenish tea coffee etc but don’t make your bed. They do not serve evening meals (which is probably a good thing!). Lack of staff around in the day and at breakfast. We reported twice our towel rack was broken and nothing done about it. We mentioned to a local we were staying here and she said oh no never stay there. That says it all really ! Having paid for their suite we did rather foolishly expect a sea view, beware you don’t get one !"

The Bowmore House Bed and Breakfast ★★★★
"We stayed for four nights as part of the Scottish Routes 5-Day Islay Whisky Tour and had a fantastic experience. The location is ideal for visiting all of Islay’s renowned distilleries, making it the perfect base for exploring the island. The friendly hosts, Andrew and Alison, truly enhance the stay with their warm hospitality and extensive knowledge of the local area, which they are happy to share with guests. Breakfast each morning was excellent, with plenty of choice and quality ingredients. The breakfast dram was a wonderful touch and a memorable way to start each day’s whisky adventures. Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed."
