The Colonsay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"How do I describe the island of Colonsay and the Hotel? It is impossible to find the right words. This is an island of incredible beauty, almost dream-like quiet, the most amazing beach ever, it is such a special place. The hotel is an old inn, just up the pier road from the ferry dock, with classic weathered architecture - uneven floorboards, winding stairs, safe timeless feel, but modern in the things that matter - comfortable bed, functional bathroom etc. The screen-less windows open to sea air and birdsong. The restaurant has a decent variety of good, simple food with local ingredients. The bar has local peaty whiskeys and a welcoming atmosphere. One comment - Colonsay is a small island, but it is hilly and the single road is winding. While bringing a car over on the ferry is expensive, it really is the only practical way to see the island, to get up to the stunning Kiloran Bay beach, to bucolic Colony House for lunch in the garden cafe, and down to the Oronsay causeway unless you are a vigorous hiker or biker with lots of time. Don't miss the surprisingly interesting historic museum in an old church up near the beach, and the salmon smokery - most delicious salmon ever. This is not an island with excitement or modern entertainment, but don't neglect to just sit quietly, wee dram in hand, blue sea and green hills in view, and listen to the sheep, birds, and wind. Even if I never go back, a day will not pass that I don't want to be on Colonsay."

Cozy Cottage In Picturesque Scotland

10/10 Excellent

"Sehr schöne, saubere Doppelhaushälfte, in naturnaher Umgebung, nahe eines Bauernhofes. Am Anreisetag wurde uns das Nötigste vom Vermieter persönlich und freundlich erklärt. Um in die grösseren Orte (Port Ellen und Bowmore) zugelangen, sollte man aber schon etwas Fahrzeit einrechnen. Wir haben den Aufenthalt, abgesehen vom stürmischen Wetter, sehr genossen."

Beautiful 10 person modern bungalow in Bruichladdich with stunning views

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay. The house was very comfortable and walking distance to Bruichladdich and Port Charlotte. It was a great location for us and we enjoyed many delicious meals nearby"

Islay House

6/10 Okay

"Although it said seaview room, this did not happen. Beds were clean and comfy. We were put in a disable room (that none of us needed) there was a trip hazard with carpet between bedroom & bathroom. The wet room which had poor drainage and after 3 people showered the water flooded the whole bathroom. Without us putting down towels water would have seeped into bedroom. During our 3 night stay there was no change of towels or beds made although someone had been in the room to empty bins. For the price paid I would have expected a better standard of accommodation. Breakfast was fine, but only offered gluten free bread as an option."

2 bedroom accommodation in Isle of Islay

8/10 Good

"Well equipped, cozy cottage in one of the nicest parts of Islay . The photos are pretty accurate. but Lochindaal is lovely as is Port Charlotte both easily accessible from the cottage. The wee log /coal burner was surprisingly effective. Bring slightly smaller logs if you’re bringing your own. Loved Islay our trip was helped by great weather, a comfortable base, fantastic scenery as well as the whisky. Hope to be back soon. Margaret"

The Island Bear B&B

6/10 Okay

"Good location, near the harbour in Bowmore Room very good, very clean, comfortable bed, nice bathroom with bath Property is currently changing hands, the sale completed this week As per previous reviews the previous owner served full Scottish cooked breakfast- the new owner is just doing prepared continental breakfast boxes which you help yourself to from the fridge We were not expecting this and were quite disappointed. There is nowhere in Bowmore where you can get breakfast so be aware"

"The House is perfect for a short or a long time stay on Islay. Very central between Port Ellen and Bowmore. 30 minutes ride to Jura Ferry. Islay Ales Brewery is only a five minutes walk away they serve the best beers."
