The Bowmore House Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly owners. Great place to stay nice comfortable rooms and bathroom. Fridge in room is a great bonus. Will be staying here next time on islay Awesome location 20 stars"

The House at Glenbarr

10/10 Excellent

"The facilities were great . Our room was the Hayloft and was fantastic . I would say more like a studio flat with our own kitchen dining and lounge areas . It was very relaxing such a lovely place overall. We chose to have breakfast in the cafe each morning and it was excellent. The staff were very helpful when it came to local eating out for evening meals and things to see and do . I definitely agree with others I would give it a 10 out of 10 and will be back"

The Island Bear B&B

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay here. Both owners were lovely and helpful, and checked often to be sure everything was OK. There was a very well stocked snack area, and breakfast was delicious. We were traveling as a family of 3 and did 2 rooms, and it worked great."

Another Place, The Machrie

10/10 Excellent

"We are not golfers, but found this hotel an excellent, though expensive, place to stay. It had lots of amenities to appeal to non golfers and was in an excellent location with very helpful staff. A car is essential to stay here. The breakfast was very good, as I am sure was the dinner. However we chose not to have dinner as there didn't appear to be much plain food on the menu. Although it may have been possible to ask for this, we felt the price being asked reflected the complexity of the menu, and plain food would not have been value for money."

Argyll Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous place right on the beach ."

Charming Quirky Coastal Cottage Port Ellen

The Colonsay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Couldn’t fault the property or the staff. The amenities are as best as you could expect in such a small island. Manager was very helpful and chatty I would recommend the Colonsay Hotel for shorts stays , not because there is anything wrong with it , the staff , ir the island but it is a small island and there is only so much you can do. Beaches are stunning and so is the walk across The Strand to the Isle of Oransay"

Port Charlotte Holidays

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location for a 3 night stay to tour Islay and Jura. Place was well equipped, clean and well maintained. I’d go back in a heartbeat"
