Islay House

"Absolutely LOVED this place - yes it could do with a bit of updating but from what I gather, it's in the works. The manager John (Joao?) was so accommodating and professional and our room and bathroom were GORGEOUS. Cannot wait to come back in the future. Thanks for a marvellous stay! (Can't seem to add photos for some reason but took loads)"

Another Place - the Machrie

"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 Youth Hostel

"Great hostel! Such welcoming hosts. Clean room with clean sheets (though tiny bit of a musty smell near sink, but would say rest of room fine) Kitchen large and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again should we revisit islay."

Port Charlotte Hotel

"An absolute GEM of a hotel, positioned on the edge of the rocky, sandy shore with spectacular views across the loch to the Paps of Jura. We were a little apprehensive as all the rooms are billed as 'dog friendly' but the extremely comfortable room was immaculate and smelled beautiful and clean. In fact the whole hotel was kept extremely clean. Kudos to the housekeeping team! The atmosphere in the cozy traditional bar was spot on. Lively and fun without being overbearing. The staff could not be any friendlier; they're so welcoming and nothing too much trouble. As for the food...oh MY! If I could have smuggled their talented chef out in my suitcase, I would. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful and dinner was the stuff of dreams. Dinner is a total MUST DO. Imaginative meal choices, beautifully presented and definitely something a bit different. The lovely Lorna recommended the saffron rice pudding with cinnamon sugar and Arran ice cream. One of the tastiest puddings we've ever had. Hopefully we will return to spectacular Islay and if we do, here is where we will stay. Highly recommend."

The Bowmore House Bed and Breakfast

"We stayed at The Bowmore House as part of the Scottish Routes 4 day Islay tour. The hosts Andrew and Alison were tremendous. Andrew was most entertaining with his island and whisky knowledge and his sharp wit. The rooms were spacious, clean and well appointed. The breakfast was comprehensive and delicious. A special thanks also to Andrew for looking out for my 82yo father. It was much appreciated. I would thoroughly recommend this place if you're visiting Islay."

Glenegedale House

"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."
