The Island Bear B&B

6/10 Okay

"Had a problem finding the place, parking a bit of a problem during the day. Friendly people, clean rooms and en-suite. Adequate Continental breakfast, with a snack box take away if you feel like snacking later."

The Colonsay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"How do I describe the island of Colonsay and the Hotel? It is impossible to find the right words. This is an island of incredible beauty, almost dream-like quiet, the most amazing beach ever, it is such a special place. The hotel is an old inn, just up the pier road from the ferry dock, with classic weathered architecture - uneven floorboards, winding stairs, safe timeless feel, but modern in the things that matter - comfortable bed, functional bathroom etc. The screen-less windows open to sea air and birdsong. The restaurant has a decent variety of good, simple food with local ingredients. The bar has local peaty whiskeys and a welcoming atmosphere. One comment - Colonsay is a small island, but it is hilly and the single road is winding. While bringing a car over on the ferry is expensive, it really is the only practical way to see the island, to get up to the stunning Kiloran Bay beach, to bucolic Colony House for lunch in the garden cafe, and down to the Oronsay causeway unless you are a vigorous hiker or biker with lots of time. Don't miss the surprisingly interesting historic museum in an old church up near the beach, and the salmon smokery - most delicious salmon ever. This is not an island with excitement or modern entertainment, but don't neglect to just sit quietly, wee dram in hand, blue sea and green hills in view, and listen to the sheep, birds, and wind. Even if I never go back, a day will not pass that I don't want to be on Colonsay."

Cozy Cottage In Picturesque Scotland

10/10 Excellent

"Sehr schöne, saubere Doppelhaushälfte, in naturnaher Umgebung, nahe eines Bauernhofes. Am Anreisetag wurde uns das Nötigste vom Vermieter persönlich und freundlich erklärt. Um in die grösseren Orte (Port Ellen und Bowmore) zugelangen, sollte man aber schon etwas Fahrzeit einrechnen. Wir haben den Aufenthalt, abgesehen vom stürmischen Wetter, sehr genossen."

Machrie View - a lodge that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

8/10 Good

"The house is very well equipped and has excellent comfortable furnishings and beds and numerous shower and toilet facilities.We had a lovely time there and saw skylarks from the balcony and dining room. The only downside is that you have to drive to get to the beach, as the road is quite narrow and quite busy and not suitable for walking, especially with a dog."

Beautiful 10 person modern bungalow in Bruichladdich with stunning views

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay. The house was very comfortable and walking distance to Bruichladdich and Port Charlotte. It was a great location for us and we enjoyed many delicious meals nearby"

Islay House

6/10 Okay

"Although it said seaview room, this did not happen. Beds were clean and comfy. We were put in a disable room (that none of us needed) there was a trip hazard with carpet between bedroom & bathroom. The wet room which had poor drainage and after 3 people showered the water flooded the whole bathroom. Without us putting down towels water would have seeped into bedroom. During our 3 night stay there was no change of towels or beds made although someone had been in the room to empty bins. For the price paid I would have expected a better standard of accommodation. Breakfast was fine, but only offered gluten free bread as an option."
