Independent in Islay Island from NZ$240

"Very polite staff. Services us being ramped up as we speak. Currently only breakfast service"

"This property was on a farm in a stunning location surrounded by great countryside and wildlife. Lovely sandy beaches were within a short drive. All our needs were met in the cottage which was very comfortable and very well equiped. The host was very friendly and helpful as was the rest of the family on the farm. A great place to stay to get away from it all. "

"Cute hotel with great service and nice rooms in a cute village. Not far from Bruichladdich which was convenient as we were cycling."

"Great service, excellent standard of rooms, sumptious seafoold platter and breakfast. Especially enjoyed the Lapharoaig on the porridge!"

"What a gem of a bungalow in beautiful Islay! The house was spotless. We are a group of two families (6 children, 10 total) traveling around Islay. The beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked. The best part was the VIEW! Located right on the water, you cross the street and are on the beach. The kids were able to cross the street in the evenings to play. We walked to two of our restaurants, which was a short 2 mile walk along the loch into Port Charlotte. The house is about 5 houses down from Bruichladdich Distillery! We frequented the mini-mart, which was 3 houses down and had a lovely owner who made hot sandwiches and coffee as well. We had the best time in Islay- so many things to do and see. We hope to be back, and we would be lucky to get to stay in this beautiful home!! Truly an unforgettable experience!!Photo 1 on the beach in front of the bungalowPhoto 2 the pathway to Port CharlottePhoto 3 highland cow on our path, walking to Port Charlotte. "

"Outstanding views from Our room. Restaurant lovely meals. Staff friendly and helpful. "

"The staff are angels on earth! Karl helped me fix a ferry/bus schedule problem and saved me from being stranded across the island in the dark. Lorna saved me from another transportation oversight I made, connecting me with a taxi driver that kept me on schedule. Without them my whole trip to Islay would have been a disaster, but instead, it was wonderful! Oh, and the hostel is lovely, clean, informative, and peaceful. "

"Very friendly staff,nice breakfast walking distance to pubs , shopping and other convenient facilities. Comprehensive local information provided in room. Nice relaxation area"

"The cottage was comfortable and well located in the centre of Bowmore. The bath had not been cleaned before we arrived, so we cleaned it. The communication with VRBO was completely chaotic. We won't be using VRBO again."
