A short but very pleasant stay at the hotel. As I was visiting relatives I didn't use all the hotel facilities but the room was large, quiet and comfortable, albeit a bit dark. Breakfast was excellent as I expected.

Made to feel very welcome right from the start with friendly, helpful staff who were also very professional. Standard of accomodation was excellent. The hotel itself was warm and inviting with an open fire in the hall and the views from the dining room were quite superb. Beautiful grounds which would make the hotel a stunning venue for a wedding. The quality of food and presentation were both excellent. Can't fault anything.

A great room in a fantastic location. Absolutely superb service by all the staff that we came across. We were, however, disappointed by the truncation of the menu - no beef/venison on the main menu - and we had been so looking forward to trying both. The staff told us that this was because the hotel was about to shut down for the winter. Such was the rest of our experience during this stay, we will be back next year, hopefully with beef and venison restored to the menu.

Lovely hotel right on the side of the Loch a 30 minute walk into town, but has a great restaurant and bar on site. Fab for Loch side walks, parking on site and free

Arrive early to find ski lifts were closed. We had a lovely breakfast and were given our rooms early. Staff were all very helpful and couldn't do enough for us. We had a lovely dinner just next to the bar area which had a very friendly , cosy atmosphere. Would definitely stay again. Deluxe rooms well worth the extra cost.

Thoroughly enjoyed Islay House. It is the perfect combination of comfort and elegance in a magnificent setting.
The room had beautiful views across Loch Indaal, lovely furnishings and appointments and all the amenities one could need (even reliable Wifi with Internet otherwise apparently often difficult to access on Islay). Beds and linen are super comfortable. The underfloor heating in the bath room makes it very inviting to take a bath in the free standing bath tubs again with views over...

Staff were amazing, great facilities. Food lovely. Liked the fact they had jugs of fresh water located at the front entrance and within relaxation room unlike most hotels who would push a sale on bottled water. Relaxed atmosphere great rooms with arran aromatic after the rain toiletries.. Bliss 💕

We were on a tight budget so expected something quite basic for what we paid. Amazingly great value for money. We were put in what looked like a newly refurbished room with a great view of the woodlands. The room was immaculate and perfect for an overnight stay. The most impressive part of our stay was the onsite team. Incredible customer service nothing was too much trouble. We arrived quite late and they still accommodated making us a bite to eat. Breakfast was lovely with the personal touch...
