Lorna saved me from another transportation oversight I made, connecting me with a taxi driver that kept me on schedule. Without them my whole trip to Islay would have been a disaster, but instead, it was wonderful! Oh, and the hostel is lovely, clean, informative, and peaceful. โ

"I stayed one night for Springbank distillery tour and the hotel was 10 out of 10. Very spacious room with fantastic view. All the facilities were in good condition and clean. Lastly, homemade breakfast was very good. Hope to visit again."
