it’s a nice boutique hotel but the rooms are cozy and not too bad. Also, the hotel is very close to the airport but middle of nowhere. If you have to take a taxi service to Bowmore, which is the town center, for meals, It will cost 40 poundsround-trip. The hotel has a restaurant on site but sort of limited menu if you have any kind of meal restrictions or limitations. It is also close to a beach and has a golf course. The beach is beautiful and such a nice walk from the hotel.

the property did welcome pets however the room we were given was below standard ,the window leaked badly from the storm Amy and the noise coming from it was horrendous. thankfully reception managed to put us in a suitable room, the staff on reception were excellent .the golf course was excellent but very disappointed that there was no drying room after a severe soaking from the inclement weather i would have thought that such a prestigious course as the Machrie would have suitable drying facilities the meals were excellent.

Fourth visit and the improvement is fantastic!!

The Machrie always had the potential to be a top class hotel. This was my fourth visit and there has been a marked improvement which I put down to the management of the hotel provided by Another Place. Organisation, service and customer focus have all made great strides. This has moved The Machrie from having the potential to being a first class experience

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.

Lovely stay

Such a beautiful hotel and staff were always approachable and pleasant. Hotel very clean and tidy. Loved the board with all the activities and information about the island at reception, great idea. I found the restaurant very expensive, also we were unable to get 2 different cocktails of the menu during the 3 days we were there, because they had no pineapple juice and also no rosé wine which was disappointing.
