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 ##### peter Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### William 18 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful, from front desk to restaurant/bar to pro shop, everyone was pleasant and went out of their way to make sure every need was taken care of. The only downside I experienced was the food, which I found to be very average for such a nice property. I ate breakfast once, eggs benedict, sauce was cold; and dinner once, steak was tough. This is a downside since the property is along the coast and not within walking distance of any other places to eat. ##### William Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### pallavi 28 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The perfectly planned and staged room and the amenities plus the gorgeous views - omg!

Das Hotel liegt fußläufig am Meer und ist von einem Golf Green umgeben, der aber auch nicht Golf Spielern gut gefällt. Unser Hotelzimmer hatte einen fantastischen Blick zum Meer. Die Zimmer sind modern ausgestattet. Zum Frühstück gab es eine Auswahl ein zubereiteten schottischen Frühstücksgerichten und ein Buffet. Abends gab es Menüs aus einer wechselnden Karte mit lokalen Zutaten aus einer großartigen Küche. Auf der Restaurant Terrasse oder bei Regen in einem Kaminzimmer kann man abends noch einen Islay Whisky genießen, natürlich haben sie Single Malts aus allen Destillerien der Insel im Angebot (meine Favoriten waren neben Ardbeg,Laphroaig vor allem Port, Charlotte und Octomore 14.3). Die Möglichkeiten von Machrie, den 7 Meilen langen Strand entlang zu wandern oder die drei nahe gelegenen Destillerien in Port Ellen zu besuchen, oder einfach den Sonnenuntergang am Meer zu beobachten, machen die Location attraktiv. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d711de7a-457e-4070-866b-0a01fda1bf49-1753204543232.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2f92a1c7-53bb-4ed9-bd04-54e3db254cda-1753204542918.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5faa767e-d701-403c-b926-489f1cee32dd-1753204543627.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/735b2e1a-5f4e-43b1-9398-4c669943902b-1753204544174.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### André Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 22 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fourth visit and the improvement is fantastic!! 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 #### Janet 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Visit to Islay This hotel is amazing!
