I arrived earlier than I had announced, though there were no staff present at that time walking around the house was an experience. Though much of the house is under renovation it was gorgeous. Staff quickly checked me in and the room was absolutely spectacular, I felt like I was in a room for a prince. I very much look forward to coming to islay again and seeing the fully renovated manor and seeing if back up to its former glory. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d198f754-b95e-4c9a-8e14-3f713f966a9c-1754936766734.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/be2c58d7-8501-4053-9bf3-dce428a2a85a-1754936754926.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### jeremy Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Julie 9 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Bedroom and facilities in room very good , just more staff needed and to make sure you don’t run out of coffee pods.

Rooms aren’t properly cleaned and windows are broken. Staff isn’t helpful and there’s something really strange about this place. And clearly over prized! Chose another hotel if you’re going to Islay ##### Lina Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### The Hon S 9 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Very disappointing My wife and I booked two nights at the Islay House at a cost of £520\. We chose it because of the gourmet restaurant and the availability of a room with a bath. We arrived off the ferry at 1.00 pm but we’re told to return later. There was no mention of the closure of the restaurant. When we returned, the manager told us that the restaurant was closed and gave us a room without a bath - we discovered later that rooms with baths were available. There was no advance email warning about the restaurant and menus and photos still appear on the website. The manager attempted to book us into local restaurants, but all were full. We finally had to drive five miles and wait an hour to collect a poor quality takeaway from an Indian restaurant. The manager was unapologetic and refused to offer any refund. Her behaviour was totally unacceptable. ![Indian takeaway ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/90F990D9AD3098CD8DC7941FFBC1DF47329D40F61662719228468.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### The Hon S Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Justin 19 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very pleasant stay at an amazing property!
