Islay House
5/5 Excellent
"We had an amazing experience at Islay House - from the moment we arrived to the minute we left. The hotel staff greeted our family with friendliness and warmth and went out of their way to ensure our stay was truly special. Upon arriving before our formal checkin time, we were warmly greeted and our bags put into storage. We were given a brief informal tour of the interior property which revealed fascinating facts about the house’s history. The service was first class; the room and property exquisite; and the food gourmet. All accommodations were met, including a fold-out bed for our son and vegan meals for myself, which were outstanding. The bar is a gem and the single malt selection excellent. If you don’t plan on staying here, at least visit the bar and book a table at the restaurant - you will not be disappointed. The staff touched us on a level that was special and rare to find nowadays. Thank you Islay House for making our stay on Islay a truly magical experience!! We look forward to seeing you again soon. "

Quiet, cosy cottage.
"We had a great week exploring Isla. Our cottage was warm, comfortable and very well equipped. David was welcoming and very helpful. The cottage was in a great location for exploring the Rhinns. We loved our morning and evening walks down to the nearby bay. Hope to return."

Such a lovely experience!
"Both of the hosts were amazing, Amy and Graham! They had tea waiting for us when we arrived and greeted us outside right when we got there. The place is so cute and clean! Our room over looked the water and we got to watch the sunset. They also did an amazing 3 course breakfast for us with homemade muffins and scotch porridge! It was truly a dream to stay there and we hope to go back one day!"

5/5 Excellent
Felt like we stayed with our Scottish Family
"This is by far the absolute BEST place to stay on Islay! We were warmly greeted by Andrew prior to our arrival. He let us know about the local restaurants, tours available and the ferry information. Andrew’s kindness and warmth made our stay feel like we were staying with our Scottish family. The beds are soft but firm. The blankets like soft butter you melt into. The bath water was immediately hot, no lag time. Plenty of fluffy towels await you after. The made to order breakfast is amazing! Delicious. Plenty of options. Our fridge was stocked with plenty of juice, milk and water to keep us hydrated. This family run B&B is the only place we will ever stay in Islay. It’s perfect."
