The lady receptionist who also ran the bar was very welcoming. There is nothing to fault. Residents were able to eat takeaways in the bar. I didn’t but that was nice. The whole place looked freshly decorated.

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.

Staff are absolutely superb, they will do whatever possible to ensure your stay is comfortable. This place will blow away any pre-conceived thoughts on what a hostel is - everything you need is here - the location is a little out of the way if needing public transport.

Lovely, small and scenic, set around a beautiful bay and also with a ferry terminal (note, this was main reason I selected Port Ellen for the destination of my final 3 nights on Islay; unfortunately, just before the trip, CalMac had announced that all ferry trips to/from Port Ellen would be diverted for the period from early Sept through mid-November to Port Askaig (on the eastern side of Islay). Since traveling that direction via bus can have a more difficult bus schedule to coordinate with the early ferry (for connecting at Kennacraig on the mainland to bus to Glasgow), so I ended up booking a Loganair flight back to Glasgow for 9/28 to ensure getting there in time for my early a.m. long-haul journey GLA/AMS - AMS/SFO on 9/29. In general the town has wonderful dining options, scenic walks, both a small Co-Op and a Spar as grocery options, fantastic aged stone buildings, and the paved whisky trail at the far end of town to get to Laphroaig, Lagavulin and Ardbeg on foot or bicycle, and if you have the energy (and often good rain-gear), you can keep going a few miles further on foot to the historic Kildalton Cross and Chapel. And I would be remiss to not mention the lovely flock of swans at the north end of White Hart Beach!!!Sharon - 10Scored 10

The food at the Islay Hotel was superb and very reasonably priced. The service was excellent too. We also ate at the Seasalt bistro and this was nice too, slightly more expensive than the Islay Hotel. If you arrive on a Monday like we did you may not be able to get into the Islay hotel unless you have booked in advance and the Seasalt is closed Mondays. We got a Chinese takeaway from Ellen's Wok - the food was good but we found the rice a bit stodgy. The other thing was for 2 meals we ended up with 4 plastic take away boxes with lids and food remnants that we couldn't recycle. Apparently there is no food recycling on Islay at the moment which means that everything goes to landfill. However this should change in the near future. The litter bins in the street were full of everybody else's take away meals too! My recommendation for food is to book in advance to avoid disappointment!

Beautiful location for taking a break from busy life. Amazing beaches and plenty space to enjoy quiet and tranquility. Not a great place for dining out surprisingly. We’ll stock stores though for anything you need.

Port Ellen isa very pretty and friendly village.There are not many dining out options available though. What's there is tasty. We had trouble with our ferry being cancelled, so would recommend not to make tight connections

Port Ellen is a wonderful place. A great beach. Just the right number of places to eat. It has a smashing traditional Pub called The Ardview where visitors can meet `The Locals` all in all a first class base to visit the rest of Islay.

Port Ellen is a tiny village on the south of Islay with a mainland ferry port. However, sometimes the ferry is cancelled so be prepared to travel back up to the north of the island if this happens. The village is extremely picturesque but if you like hustle and bustle Bowmore is more touristy. However there are 3 main distilleries within a few miles and the beaches are superb. If going remember to take clothes for all seasons as in Scotland the weather can change in seconds, from a blisteringly hot day to freezing and wind-buffed. But scenery is out of this world.cheiisUnited Kingdom

- 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 916 reviewsThe breakfast is good, the staff is helpfull and the room cozy. Location is great for summertime and closeby to Laphroaig, Lagavulin and Ardbed distilleries. Other places you need to travel by bus (runs maybe 4 times a day) or a taxi (can cost 50-60 pounds per trip). The hotel was kind to inform that they don’t serve dinner outside the summer months, so we made booking to the nearby restaurants. There is an excellent E-bike rental place in the backyard!KristaFinland
- 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 916 reviewsWe got upgraded to a room with a king size bed which was much appreciated. Our room was a good size, clean and facilities to make warm drinks. The hotel itself was decorated well and had a boutique vibe to it, there was a large communal lounge and garden. The location was great; sea views, could do the 3 distilleries walk and drive easily to other parts of the island. Breakfast was good and standard, we were able to pick from a variety of options.
