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. ##### anand Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tyler 11 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is beautiful and the staff are very kind.

The Machrie always had the potential to be a top class hotel. This was my fourth visit and there has been a marked improvement which I put down to the management of the hotel provided by Another Place. Organisation, service and customer focus have all made great strides. This has moved The Machrie from having the potential to being a first class experience ##### Andrew Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arielle 13 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolutely beautiful area and a wonderful hotel!
