Niall was so welcoming and accomodating and the room is exactly as described with a gorgeous view of the beach and a stones throw from a restaurant, takeaway, pub, and post office! It is a perfect location to explore Islay and just around the corner from the start of the 3 distilleries walk.

Location was fabulous! The included breakfast was well-stocked and had fresh coffee. There’s a spot for guests to refrigerate food. We got takeaway a few times for meals. We could eat our takeaway in the dining area, which was nice. For a small fee they took care of our laundry. This was really nice after traveling for a few days. We had a later flight on our checkout day. They let us store our luggage in the room until later.

Fantastic cooked breakfast, you won’t be hungry when you leave the breakfast room! The location by the bay is very good, with a pub just next door and two restaurants not far.

The Islay Hotel is a great location for shops, eating out, distilleries and beaches. We found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. Our room was spotlessly clean and well organized. The breakfast was a very good start to our day. In addition to the hotel, we recommend the café at Ardbeg distillery for lunches and teas. On the road to Bowmore (on the right-hand side) is the Balaclava Byre Farm Shop and Restaurant, which also provides delicious food, using local produce from Islay.

The setting is beautiful. You can walk through the golf course to the beach and it's like having your own private beach. The rooms are comfortable and clean (not luxurious but cozy). I don't think any hotels on the island are that fancy so this is definitely one of the nicer and more spacious ones (rooms are not huge but at least they aren't tiny). The food at the restaurant was pretty good too which is convenient. Staff and people on the island were extremely nice.

Nigel, Moira,.Jane and the team at The Islay Hotel are truly great hosts. Professional, friendly, and over and beyond helpful. I highly recommend the daily specials at the restaurant. The freshest ingredients, beautifully prepared. A great location sitting on the beach of Port Ellen and a 20-minute stroll to Laphroaig and other distilleries nearby. Many thanks for your warm and forever memorable hospitality Ilay. I'll be back soonest.

The location is superb, wonderful views and walks along the vast beach. The accommodation was clean and comfortable with a fantastic bathroom. The room was a tad small and we had to keep our cases in the middle of the room but we had a great view across the golf course to the sea with stunning sunsets.

Sea view was fantastic. Friendly staff. On-site bar with pub garden on the beach. Breakfast hearty but not a gut-buster. Caffetiere in room.

Basic accommodation however had everything we needed comfy twin beds, table and chairs, TV, kettle, plates, cutlery and small fridge which was amazing! Hosts very lovely , friendly and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again. Perfect location for staying on Islay with 3 distilleries within 4 miles.

Good big open rooms. The lounge area offers amazing views over the golf course and landscape surrounding. Bar and restaurant offer a wide ranging menu and good breakfasts. This is the perfect location from which to explore magical Islay. If golf’s not your thing there’s a beautiful big white sand beach behind, offering great scenery and sunsets.
