Top Islay Island Hotel Reviews

Port Charlotte Holidays

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic, well-equipped apartment in a beautiful location. Perfect for a group holiday."

The Island Bear B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly hosts. We appreciated the self-serve snacks and drinks available in the kitchen."

Islay House

8/10 Good

"The property definitely needs some updating, it is a little bit on the rundown side, but it has absolutely stunning and well maintained grounds, which I highly recommend taking the time to explore. The House is unique and has a lot of potential. Staff was quite helpful and our room was very clean. It’s definitely off the beaten path so expect to walk a little bit for a bus stop or pre-reschedule a taxi. Do not rely on Uber on the island. So make sure to plan ahead and decide where you want to have meals. Breakfast at the property is good, but there is not an on-site restaurant in no room service. You need to make sure that you are selecting a restaurant in town and booking a table."

Cozy Cottage In Picturesque Scotland

8/10 Good

"Abgelegene Cottagehälfte mitten auf der Farm, 5 Gehminuten vom Meer entfernt. Ausstattung gut, vor allem elektrische Geräte funktionieren super.

Beautiful 10 person modern bungalow in Bruichladdich with stunning views

10/10 Excellent

"The bungalow was perfect for our family's stay in Bruichladdich. It was clean and modern and the views across the bay are beautiful. The mini market just a couple of doors down is perfect for coffee and breakfast sandwiches in the morning. Claire was a great host, very responsive to questions and check-in and check-out were very easy."

Port Charlotte Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very pleasant hotel to stay in with friendly interested staff who do their very best to make your stay enjoyable. From arranging taxis, giving their very noted malt whisky expertise to meals and recommendations. Love Port Charlotte, would definitely go again."

Beautiful Cottage by the Bay, Isle of Islay

10/10 Excellent

"This cozy cottage in the tranquil village of Portnahaven was the perfect setting for a sisters' getaway week. Splendid scenery, stunning coastal walks, absolute quiet (rarely an engine sound), except for the birds and the seals. Without a car, we managed to get around by bus and hired a driver for one day to explore parts of the island off the bus route. Everyone we met was super friendly. We particularly enjoyed the pub in Portnahaven. Taxis need to be booked in advance. Also recommend stocking up on groceries in Bowmore before arrival as there are no shops in Portnahaven."
