Nice hotel with good food. The staff were excellent special mention to Mirka and Eithne! Great breakfast. Our room was very small with a very small bathroom but had a lovely view of the gorgeous gsrden. Good central location
Within 15 minutes’ drive of 4 of the Isle of Islay’s whiskey distilleries, Skerrols House has uninterrupted countryside views and is just a 5-minute drive from the coastal village of Bridgend.

This was the absolute best placed we stayed on our entire trip. And now one of my favorites ever. Thomas was amazing at communicating, making you feel welcomes, cooked an amazing breakfast and responded to our every request. Then there are the beautiful and impeccably kept accommodations. Stay here once and you'll want to return to Islay just to stay here again. And be sure to visit the Islay Woolen Mill nearby, a true classic. If I could give this more than a 10 rating, I would.

The Bridgend is well located on the island. The restaurant is good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was disappointing but the bed was comfortable and the shower hot. 3 days on Islay was a good time but could easily stay longer.

Bridgend expertly handles what must regularly be a full house for lodging, dinner, breakfast, and more. Its central location to the sites and destinations across Islay make it a great launching point from which to explore, but it was also nice to return at the end of the day to relax and recover.

The setting, the Staff and the room were very good.
The ambience lacked any atmosphere and was not inviting to us.
Something is needing done to attract local patronage.
This would be helpful in establishing rapport between locals and visitors and demonstrate how friendly Islay people are.

Bridgend is a small village with a big heart.
Bridgend is a small village with a big heart. It benefits from a small convenience store and a two pump petrol/diesel station, as well as a putting and bowling green. Walks can be taken through the nearby woods and guests at Bridgend Hotel can benefit from a day fishing license. The restaurant at Bridgend Hotel is excellent, with a range of dishes made from many locally sourced ingredients. Both the breakfast and dinner are recommended. It's possible to walk towards the sea, though we could not find a way across to the beach - which is probably just as well as it protects the wildlife and potentially nesting birds. The local police officer stopped to say hello and offered us a lift back to the hotel - which was charming. Bridgend is well placed for further exploration of Islay, and would recommend traveling with an OS map to take full advantage of the tracks and pathways (if hiking).

Unfortunately was unable to fulfill my booking at the Hotel due to illness, They were kind enough to allow me to reschedule for a later date. So we are looking forward to visit Islay in the near future.

Impulse 2 day visit to Islay to see family.
Impulse 2 day visit to Islay to see family. Bridgend is just one of many lovely little communities on the island. We were looking for peace and quiet, easy nature walks, birdlife etc. We did have lovely weather which helps, spring flowers all over the place, so many birds, even saw hares. The RSPB walking trails are well worth a visit. Food on the island was for the most part local and beautifully cooked, Loch Fyne Oysters are amazing and worth seeking out. Live music at Port Charlotte Hotel Wednesdays and Sunday evenings a total highlight but get there early, t'is standing room only but well well worth it. We had a car which made travelling around easy, and in spring there were not very many tourists or cars compared to other islands we have visited. All in all, if you are after a quiet, relaxed, peaceful and beautiful holiday and are ok with 'Variable' Scottish Weather, this is a bit of a gem.
We had a wonderful weekend at the Bridgend Hotel made all the more memorable by the beautiful weather. Everyone both management and staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful..our rooms, one family one de luxe twin/double were beautiful with excellent decor and facilities. Both breakfast and evening meals were excellent..full Scottish breakfast in particular was amazing and delicious! Bridgend Hotel is an excellent central point for exploring the island and will not disappoint.
This IS the place to stay on Islay. Under the watchful eye of manager, Ian, nothing is left to chance. Breakfast and staff lovely, dining room beautiful. Centrally located, rooms well appointed and clean. Warm. Friendly and knowledgeable Ian is happy and available to answer all questions, make local suggestions and call other services on your behalf. Stay at Bridgend if you can! You won't be disappointed!
The hotel is well placed in the middle of the island, the room (access room on ground floor) was generously proportioned and clean, and the bathroom was a good size with a great shower (lots of hot water and great pressure). Breakfast was a good starter for the day. The bar was well stocked, particularly if you like Islay whisky, with plenty of local knowledge from the barman.
We stayed here when completing some construction works at Port Ellen, the hotel was perfect and couldn't recommend highly enough. We had an early start on the Saturday and would have missed breakfast, we were treated to a pack up to take with us so we didn't miss out, a very thoughtful touch indeed.
Beautiful hotel , staff could not be more friendly and helpful. Evening meal superb, as was breakfast.would highly recommend this hotel. Dog friendly and great walk from the doorstep. Ideal location being central on the island. Have been back for lunch and was just as good !
Unique hotel. Basically it is like staying as a guest in a stately home. Steeped in history and a real atmosphere about the place. Maybe not to everyone's taste as rooms are not plush and no gym etc but I loved it. Quiet with only a few guests so makes you feel special.
Great location, super helpful staff. We had some booking issues and ferry travel difficulties, and Ian went out of his way to accommodate our needs. Great breakfast and good dinner experience. Clean and comfortable room with gorgeous garden surrounding the hotel.
Bridgend has earned a reputation for quality among visitors to Islay. The dining room was superb, serving dinner and breakfast rivaling high-end restaurants in the big cities on the mainland. The staff's hospitality and professionalism was much appreciated.
Lovely room, bed was extremely comfortable. This place felt like an upscale hotel. Breakfast was delicious. The hosts were extremely gracious, friendly and made us feel at home. If we come back to Islay we will definitely be staying here again.
Property was immaculate and like a boutique hotel. Absolutely perfect. Fabulous room. The host was friendly knowledgeable and couldn’t do enough for you. Breakfast was amazing. I would stay again and highly recommend to anyone.
Well located hotel for visiting all of the island .
Good bar with good range of drinks especially Islay whisky .Also liked the background music of Gaelic and traditional
music in bar area.
Lovely walled garden.
The food at the Bridgend was magnificent especially the dinners. The staff was wonderful especially Meghan, Lauren, and Kenny in that they were most accommodating and helpful. I didn’t want for anything!
The hotel and the grounds are beautiful. Very nicely done and maintained and the location is great. One of the managers (Chris) as well as the bar staff and waiters were very welcoming and accommodating.
It’s a beautiful property and hotel. The rooms are spacious and clean. Dinner was excellent although it’s a set menu. the bar is intimate and well stocked.
