As well as the distillery, there is a handy mini-market where you can buy daily groceries. Just 2 miles down the road, is the bigger village of Port Charlotte, with its charming white stone cottages, hotel, restaurant, café, village shop with post office, as well as a museum and wildlife visitor centre. There’s also a restaurant, bar and children’s playground at Port Mor, just outside the village. A recent addition for walkers is The Loch Indaal Way, a coastal walk connecting the two villages of Bruicladdich and Port Charlotte, ideal for any ability.
Bruichladdich is about 20 minutes’ drive from the two ferry ports of Port Ellen and Port Askaig (advance booking advisable) and just 10 minutes from the main town of Bowmore, which has a charming small village character, with plenty of amenities and a good variety of shops, hotels and restaurants, banks, post office and swimming pool with fitness centre. There are many small villages within a short driving distance, with Port Ellen being the principal fishing port and ferry terminal on the island with shopping facilities, hotels, restaurants, post office and pontoons available for yachts.
The world famous, challenging golf links at Machrie are about 15 miles away nestled alongside 7 miles of pristine beach. At the ferry port of Port Askaig, you can catch a ferry to the Isle of Jura which also has a world class reputation for whisky and beautiful scenery. Islay is known as ‘The Queen of the Hebrides’, and can be easily accessed by ferry from Kennacraig in Kintyre or from Oban. The island is quite large and is a paradise for birdwatchers, ramblers, fishermen, golfers, artists, lovers of fine food and, of course, there are nine (and counting!) whisky distilleries to visit and savour. Ideal for an adventurous family, with sandy beaches to explore, fabulous walking and, being fairly flat, it is perfect for cycling. Beach 500 yards.
