Kilmeny is offering accommodation in Ballygrant. Each accommodation at the 5-star guest house has garden views, and guests can enjoy access to a garden and to a terrace. Guests can enjoy mountain views.

The Kilmeny Country House is a beautiful B&B with plenty of antique charm and convient modern amenities. Our rooms were laid out beautifully. Every inch of the room was carefully curated. The bathroom was nicely updated with modern amenities. The view from the room summed up the Scottish country side. It is located near Port Askaig and is close to many whiskey distilleries. The welcome guidebook includes lots of tourist information. Margaret will typically greet you with afternoon tea upon arrival. We were, unfortunately, late due to the ferry, but she saved some homemade cake for us, and it was delicious. The breakfast plates and buffet of items are of high quality and delicious. Some items require advance notice. We left on an early morning ferry, and she was kind to pack us a very generous breakfast (and lunch).

    Lovely place located at the heart of Bowmore. Our room had a view over the sea on the top floor. Very quiet. Had a delicious breakfast (included) at the hotel next door, which was set up by our host prior to our arrival. Easy check in and check out.

    Jim and Caroline were wonderful hosts and made our stay comfortable, relaxing and very special for our friends reunion. Having the guest house to ourselves (separate to their home) was great as we did get a little noisy and they have made the house really cosy. The breakfasts they cooked each morning were fab with a great variety on offer. Our hosts provided a great introduction to Islay which really helped us plan and maximize our stay. Nothing but great things to say about such lovely people and their beautiful home.

    This is in a great location in the centre of Bowmore. it’s easy and free to park on the road right outside. The decor is fresh and modern and has been done to a high standard. There are lots of nice little touches to make it special. it’s more private than a b&b and very peaceful and quiet. The king size bed is super comfy. The host is also friendly and helpful.
