We had a bar lunch and also an evening meal in the dining room (on separate days!). We were warmly welcomed on both days by Lorna and the team - Lorna is a terriffic manager who clearly understand true hospitality and therefore so does the team. The menu was interesting, with many points of difference and everything we tried - really flavoursome. Delightful experience on both days.

The hotel manager, Lorna, really made our trip! She is so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful! We had only planned a couple of activities and she quickly helped us to fill in the rest of our time. Every suggestion she made was perfect! We had a lovely room with great views.

This smallish hotel has a super location right on the coast with great views across the water. We had a good room with a comfy king size bed and a lovely modern bathroom. It was clean, characterful and well presented with everything you need including free wifi. We arrived at a very busy time (island distilleries open days festival week) but the staff remained helpful, welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant which was enjoyable but rather pricy and the seafood was largely overcooked (scallops, halibut). However it was exceptionally hectic so we made exceptions. The excellent skin-on chips with the battered haddock were a joy! Breakfast was also served in the restaurant offering plenty of choice and inviting hot options. Enjoyed our comfortable stay.

Great little hotel with a terrific ambiance and location overlooking the sea, best location on Islay. Bar is great, good beers. Guest room is great too. Decor restrained and well-done. Food quality is good but not exceptional. Key thing is to book direct and avoid room 6 above the bar, no sleep until the noise dies down.

Charming and quaint are perfect descriptives of this hotel as is the Village. Kate at reception was enormously welcoming and helpful - as was the young man who also worked reception. Room was quintessential of what one might expect in a port village. Perfectly decorated as is the sitting area, bar, dining, and even outside seating. Couldn’t have asked for a better location. Breakfast and dinner were good. We occupied room 2 which was very nice. Only drawback was parking area lights that were on all night. Because it was warm, we had to have windows open (only opened about 10 inches), so we had to pull up shades to let cool air in. Bed was very comfortable. Only suggestion is to have smaller bedside lamps that take up less space. Bathroom was spacious and even had a shelf upon which we could set hair products. Big suggestion here is to have grab bar to assist in climbing out of shower. Can easily slip getting out especially for shorter persons climbing over a high bathtub. Plus shower door did not totally prevent water from flowing onto floor. All in all…great visit.

Amazing location, friendly staff and exquisite food - we loved our stay at the Port Charlotte Hotel. We were in the room overlooking the village; larger than most of the sea-view ones and with a nice window where you could sit and watch the world go by. A highlight of our stay was the traditional music night, when there was a great atmosphere in the bar and a very talented Celtic band.

We stayed in this lovely hotel for five nights while visiting Islay and touring distilleries. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed. We enjoyed mixing with other guests and locals in the hotel pub. We started every day with a delicious cooked to order breakfast. We can’t say enough good things about the staff. They were friendly, attentive and efficient. Although all of the staff were outstanding, a few stood out in making our stay special: Lorna, Robin, Betti, Kate, Shannon, and all the barmen- Colin, Gary, and Tom went above and beyond. If you’re planning a trip to Islay, stay here!
