    The staff are excellent. Well-informed about things to do and where to buy the things we had forgotten to bring! Beds very comfy, linen felt new. Room very quiet. Breakfast room ideal for meeting the other guests, playing chess, homework, microwave for takeaways.

    Breakfast was ok, good selection of items. Good coffee too. Overall a nice place in a great location. Port Ellen is a small town so not much to choose from, but still, a great place.

    Quiet little town on Islay. Little traffic. Close to a pub. The building has history but is beautifully modern inside, but don't expect any elevators. Close walk to memorial statue commemorating the local men who fought in WW1 & WW2. After breakfast and check out, we were able to drive to 7 out 8 whiskey distilleries on the island. Didn't get to number 8 because we needed to be on our ferry out of Port Aisaig at 5:30 for boarding leave time 6pm. My kids loved having their own room and the cookies in the rooms.

    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.

    With its great location on the seafront, this B&B, which is more like a hotel, serves an excellent breakfast. As there is no restaurant, they very thoughtfully provide a fully-equipped dining room with dishes and cutlery where guests can bring back food from the excellent Chinese and fish take-aways a few minutes away.
