"Great spot on the way to Campbeltown.
Bed was comfy and great size bathroom.
Food in the evening was difficult as lots of places were full, but would stay again. "
"Very warm welcome from Nick. Spotless room and bathroom. Dinner was delicious. Beer icy cold and views fantastic. Definitely add this little gem to your list of places to stay"

Whisky lovers flock to eight historic distilleries across Islay, where tours reveal the island's peaty spirits and centuries-old traditions. Hike dramatic coastal trails along the Mull of Oa, then spot seals and rare birds at Loch Gruinart nature reserve.

"The Island Bear is a wonderful place to base a trip to Islay. It is situated at the center of town in Bowmore. The owners are very attentive and nice to talk with. The rooms are modern and very clean. Highly recommend! "
"The property is beautiful and the staff are very kind. Had great recommendations from the bartender (Carson?) and really enjoyed the sauna and a walk to the beach. "
"Great place! Beautiful and big house! Helpful owner if any questions . Strategic location right in between all distilleries. Really unique house in an idyllic situation on a beach!

"Andrew and Alison were the perfect hosts - very welcoming, gave great insights to places to eat in Bowmore, as well as near the distilleries we were visiting. Andrew also double checked our ferry to make sure the port wasn't switched on us! Very large, comfortable room with an amazing view over Bowmore. It's very centrally located on the Island, as well as very walkable to any place in Bowmore. Breakfast both mornings were fantastic- one a full proper Scottish breakfast cooked to perfection (great coffee too!), and the second, Andrew packed us a delicious meal to go for us to go as we had an early morning Ferry to catch. We will be staying here again when we next visit Islay! "
