Top 5-Star Hotels in Islay

The hotel is just across from the airport. I like how the owner and his wife make the room especially cozy, and the breakfast fruit is plentiful to surprise. Just order dinner in advance, otherwise there is nothing to eat. Anyway, you want to rent a car to live in this city. It takes half an hour to drive wherever you go. It is quiet and clean if you are on vacation.

Plan your visit well as you need to catch a ferry over so length of stay maybe dictated by timetable unless you fly over from Glasgow. Once at The Machrie you'll enjoy a first class golf course and food

This hotel is pricy, but well worth it. We had a lovely room overlooking the bay. Outside the hotel there is a seating area which leads out on to a small beach. The food is very good, especially the seafood - scallops and crab were particularly tasty. We stayed 4 nights and found that that was adequate to explore the island. There was a live band in the bar on Sunday, which was a bonus. All the staff were friendly and helpful, especially, Kate, Lorna and Marianne. Throughout the hotel there is an eclectic mix of paintings on the walls. One bugbear of mine is the pillows in hotels. Frequently they are like lumpy bricks. However, these were lovely and soft and could be moulded to the shape required. We had a good nights sleep after all the good food and wine.
