Port Charlotte Youth Hostel ★★★

"This was one of the very best SYHA hostels that I've visited. The people running it were very hospitable and concerned for their visitors. In many ways you could see how thoughtful they had been to make it a good and interesting experience for all. The kitchen, common room, showers, drying room etc were all excellent. I recommend it heartily."

Another Place - the Machrie ★★★★

"We enjoyed the privacy as it was at least a km away from the main road. A very nice hideaway if you want to get away from the bustling town. One thing though, please ensure you have your own car/transport covered as public transportation on Islay is not as convenient versus a normal city. Overall, a great place to stay! We’ll be back!"

Port Charlotte Hotel ★★★★

"This was a fantastic place to stay for our multi-day whiskey tasting tour on Islay. It is located on the water and offers beautiful views of the bay. There's a place to swim if you are brave enough. The rooms are very comfortable, good-sized and well appointed. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful with a few small requests -- i.e. packing tape to box up our whiskey! We chose the hotel as it had a restaurant on-property--and were glad we did. We ate both our dinners and breakfasts at the hotel. The food and service were outstanding and they have a fantastic wine list."

Glenegedale House ★★★★★

"Two couples do it. Both are good people. Husband is serious and sincere, wife is kind and kind. It's a short walk from the airport and the bus stop is right in front of you, so the convenience is good and the scenery is perfect."

Islay House ★★★

"We spent our final evening in Islay here. Has to be one of the nicest settings on Islay. The owners try really hard to make guests feel at home and the rooms are comfortable."

The Bowmore House Bed and Breakfast ★★★★

"This is my third stay at Bowmore House, my first being ten years ago. The room was excellent and comfortable, with a superb bathroom and a powerful shower. The cleanliness and order were impeccable. I highly recommend the full Scottish breakfast, which includes tattie scones and haggis. Andrew, the proprietor, provided a complimentary dram to each guest."
