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.

This is one occasion when the experience inside the hotel is better than you expect when you see the place from the outside. The hotel is in the centre of Port Ellen and its exterior is uninspiring but everything inside the hotel is wonderful - quality of rooms, food, bar and above all the excellent staff. We'll be very happy to return!

We spent to little time on Islay this trip. So next rime we will book directly with the staff as she was brilliant fixing up a Bookings.com mistake. The view from the upstairs bedrooms, of their tiny harbour and surrounding tidal flats is peaceful.

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

- From KRW 595,826 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 280 reviewsThe setting is beautiful. You can walk through the golf course to the beach and it's like having your own private beach. The rooms are comfortable and clean (not luxurious but cozy). I don't think any hotels on the island are that fancy so this is definitely one of the nicer and more spacious ones (rooms are not huge but at least they aren't tiny). The food at the restaurant was pretty good too which is convenient. Staff and people on the island were extremely nice.
TinaUnited States - 9.2Scored 9.2SuperbRated superb· 183 reviewsView out over the silver sands of Port Ellen Bay, worked very well as 'self catering' guest house. co-op 100m away where we purchased milk and breakfast cereal (fridge was handy) table and crockery/cutlery set in the window. 2 x Takeaways a very short walk away and breakfast menu for hot food delivery :-) loved our stay. Toiletries provided were lovely. Felt like friends visiting rather than guests. WE had bikes which we were able to leave safely inside.
JackieUnited Kingdom - 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 920 reviewsExcellent breakfast. Also had French-press coffee maker in the rooms...this was a first in all the hotels I have ever stayed in and totally unexpected. It was a real treat. The building was old but was well-kept. The architects maximized the space available but the room was a tad small. Also, there was no fridge in the room. In fact that's something you have to watch out for in the UK: rooms with a fridge cost more than w/out.HaroldUnited States
