Amazingly beautiful setting. Excellent service. This experience in June on Islay is just a step or two short of Heaven.

Such a beautiful hotel and staff were always approachable and pleasant. Hotel very clean and tidy.
Loved the board with all the activities and information about the island at reception, great idea.
I found the restaurant very expensive, also we were unable to get 2 different cocktails of the menu during the 3 days we were there, because they had no pineapple juice and also no rosé wine which was disappointing.

Absolutely gorgeous spot to stay and felt so private. The food was top notch as was the staff. And the balcony of the restaurant was perfect to watch the sunset over the bay each night. Im not a golfer but the beautiful course makes me want to learn to play.
Thanks,

This was not an inexpensive stay for us, but we certainly got what we paid for. The food and facilities were first rate and though we're not golfers we enjoyed walking along the course and out along the shore

Stay was Wonderfull. Getting to the facility and into town is a challenge as taxi’s are inconsistent.
The Golf is wonderful, golf staff could have been more helpful as we nearly ran out of golf balls (wish they had encouraged us to purchase extra as we were renting) the course is very challenging and absolutely breathtaking with beauty. I would absolutely return for another trip.

this place is just gorgeous, the rooms are perfection, super clean, the views and the golf course are beyond perfection.....and the staff.... there are no words! They held the kitchen open for members of our party on the late ferry. We were 4 couples who travel a great deal and this little gem on Islay is on our must return list. Thank you for a perfect stay

From service on arrival to the house team everyone was fantastic. A special mention goes to Jo and Gabriel in the restaurant team who shared knowledge and conversation without imposing themselves on our stay.
The hotel is cleverly furnished, managing to turn a large modern space into a cosy, comfortable and welcoming stay - you really do feel ‘at home’, a really luxurious one!
And that’s before we mention the golf course… spectacular - well beyond my game! I’m off to practice for our return.
