    The location of the hotel is great and beautiful, situated by the sea. It is conveniently close to the whole island, downtown restaurants, and the south coast of England. The rooms are good-sized and the bar area is cozy. The breakfast is fantastic with plenty of choices, very very good.

    Our rooms had a great view. The hotel's location was central, right in the middle of the village. We loved how close it was to the beaches and the southern coast of the island. The hotel is conveniently located near Ardbeg, Lagavulin, Laphroaig and Islay, famous for its smoky, peaty whiskeys.

    We absolutely loved our stay here! The staff were super friendly, always willing to help and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The food was delicious, especially the breakfast which was included in our stay. The rooms were spacious, clean and well-stocked with free toiletries. The location was perfect as it was within walking distance to some of the local whiskey distilleries and right by the ferry terminal.
