this place is just gorgeous, the rooms are perfection, super clean, the views and the golf course are beyond perfection.....and the staff.... there are no words! They held the kitchen open for members of our party on the late ferry. We were 4 couples who travel a great deal and this little gem on Islay is on our must return list. Thank you for a perfect stay

Putting green heaven
Thank you for letting me use the putting green for 2 hours each day free of charge, even though I wasn't there to play golf. I didn't see any recycling bins in the room for paper etc? Also, how about a small shelter at the bottom of your road so people don't get soaked when waiting for public transport. Overall, these are minor quibbles about an otherwise excellent stay.

Excellent hotel on the island of Islay. The golf course surrounds the hotel. The staff provided excellent service. The restaurant was great, all 6 of us had a great dinner and breakfast the next day. The room was very spacious and the beds were wonderful. About 10 minutes outside of Port Ellen.
