The Bowmore House Bed & Breakfast
10/10 Excellent
"We were working on the island for a few days & im glad we decided to stay at Andrew & Alison’s B&B.
Lovely welcoming people who done a fantastic breakfast for us every morning.
The rooms were huge, warm & very comfortable.
On another note, we managed to finish our job earlier than expected & Andrew was kind enough to contact the ferry company and change the time of our return journey so we could get back home quicker.
That man is worth his weight in gold.
If we ever have to return to the island for more work, we will only ever stay at the Bowmore.
Highly recommended, 5 star’s!!!

The Island Bear B&B
10/10 Excellent
"Helpful hotel owner, Nice scotich breakfast, Clean room."
Glenegedale House
10/10 Excellent
"Outstanding rooms and service. "
Another Place, The Machrie
10/10 Excellent
"it’s a nice boutique hotel but the rooms are cozy and not too bad. Also, the hotel is very close to the airport but middle of nowhere. If you have to take a taxi service to Bowmore, which is the town center, for meals, It will cost 40 poundsround-trip. The hotel has a restaurant on site but sort of limited menu if you have any kind of meal restrictions or limitations. It is also close to a beach and has a golf course. The beach is beautiful and such a nice walk from the hotel."
Port Charlotte Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Excellent service and welcoming and kind staff. Food was amazing. Highly recommend !"
Islay House
10/10 Excellent
"This is a fantastic hotel with excellent staff and terrific ambience."
Port Charlotte Holidays

"The property is so well equipped for self catering and it is situated in the middle of the island, very convenient for visiting the whisky distilleries."
Unique House in an Idyllic Situation on a Beach
10/10 Excellent
"Great place! Beautiful and big house! Helpful owner if any questions . Strategic location right in between all distilleries. Really unique house in an idyllic situation on a beach!
"
Port Charlotte Youth Hostel
10/10 Excellent
"The staff are angels on earth! Karl helped me fix a ferry/bus schedule problem and saved me from being stranded across the island in the dark. 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. "
