The reception area could be improved. I had slight difficulty in finding staff when I arrived. However, The staff were all extremely helpful and friendly and obliging and so our stay was very pleasant.

Location

The Bowmore distillery is well worth a visit as is the Round Church at the top of the road leading up from the sea. Bridgend community garden is a short distance away where there is also a lovely woodland walk.

Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und das Essen war fabelhaft. Das Zimmer war leider nur so groß wie ein Kleiderschrank und das Badezimmer ein 70er Jahre Witz. Zimmer sehr lieblos und düster eingerichtet. Allerdings hat der TV gut funktioniert. Der Preis ist völlig überteuert für das was einem geboten wird.

Location

Islay ist natürlich sehr schön und es war sehr interessant die Destilleries zu besichtigen und einiges über die Herstellung eines guten Single Malt zu lernen. Ein Besuch auf der Insel lohnt sich auf jeden Fall.

Room 7 - large with views over the bay; Probably not best value for money as we got a late deal during the whisky festival; hospitality was great - family feel - very friendly & welcoming; Only ate breakfasts there, but they were generous and quickly prepared; I'd go again, not the Ritz, but clean and tidy & we felt a great base for exploring Bowmore and the island.

Location

Feis Ile - annual whisky festival - wonderful !

Although the room accommodation was fairly basic, the owners and staff were most obliging and made us feel very welcome. The range of evening meals was extraordinary, the food was freshly prepared and of very high quality and the portions were extremely generous. The hotel was also very much a centre of the community, with a mixed clientele and a cheerful, friendly atmosphere. Overall, this made for a very enjoyable stay.

Location

Bowmore is an excellent base from which to explore the rest of Islay, a peaceful, stress-free and friendly island with excellent locally-sourced food, malt whisky and real ale. For fans of malt whisky, the distilleries are a major attraction; the tours are all interesting and different in their own way and the tastings are generous. Equally worth visiting are Finlaggan,the Rhinns, the two bird sanctuaries, Kildalton Cross, the round church at Bowmore and, via the ferry across the Sound, Jura. Everywhere, the annoyances and idiocies of the 21st century seem a long way away.

The food was outstanding as well as the hospitality/service. A few evenings quite noisy (discoteque in the hotel and outdoor smoking place just outside our room)

Location

Port Ellen with it's yearly bech rugby tournement and the Ardberg wiskey destillery were great. Also Portahaven to look at the seels - very appreciated by the kids
