"Lovely warm welcome from David, our host. Welcome pack of goodies above average. Ideal location for exploring locally or further afield. Amazing for birds, flowers & wildlife. Stunning beaches…..loved visiting the iconic distillery buildings even though we don’t like the amber nectar. "

"Only open for a couple of months, staff went to great lengths to get it right. They were pleasant, helpful and couldn’t do enough to ensure we enjoyed our stay."

"We had the perfect stay at the Old Salt House. Kim had taken care of everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable, the shower was fab, the deck gave us stunning views, the pub round the bay was just sublime, and the cottage was always a joy to return to; a cosy neuk after the Portnahaven winds. Portnahaven and Port Wymss are gorgeous island villages. They’re off the beaten track but with so much to see, do and learn. We had an amazing time at the Whisky Festival but also on the many beautiful walks around this amazing part of the world. We’d thoroughly recommend Kim’s beautiful cottage as the perfect place to stay. "

"This is a beautiful cottage in Port Charlotte. Great facilities with stunning views."

"We were three couples touring together with two rental cars. The home was perfect for serving as our home base for exploring Islay’s many offerings!"

"We were so thrilled to be able to secure a room after a terrible Airbnb experience. Luckily they had a cancellation and we were in. The hotel as well as the staff were wonderful! Special mention to Cameron,Alex and Sarah who work in the restaurant and added to our exceptional experience. The food was beautifully prepared and presented and the drinks were among the best. Thank you for turning our trip around. 💕😃"

"I've travelled the world and this is one of my favorite places that I've ever stayed at, and islay is also well worth the visit - highly recommend. "

"Fiona and Duncan is friendly and helpful and provided a great breakfast every morning. The hotel was quiet and conveniently located a street from the ocean and and across the road from the Bowmore distillery with good restaurants nearby. Very comfortable beds and clean facilities."

"Andrew and Alison are amazing!! Breakfast every morning is fantastic, and Andrew is great at helping you plan your day based on the weather, your bookings (book your tours in advance!) and your transportation options. Super quiet and you can walk into town easily! Go stay with them!"
