The most beautiful guest rooms Islay

The beds are comfortable, the hospitality excellent and the breakfast tasty, in this B&B in the centre of Bowmore. Rooms vary in size but all have beautiful en suite bathrooms and are tastefully furnished. The owners are very friendly and warm and are very helpful. It really feels like home here. For breakfast, try the Scottish version of porridge: with salt instead of sugar or honey! The many nearby amenities make it a good place to stay.

The Fletcher family has lived on this farm, which has been in operation for more than a century, and decided to open part of it to tourists to share the charms of Islay. Two double rooms with showers and toilets are offered in a simple but adequate layout. A lounge area is also available. It is also possible to rent cottages or pitch a tent. The proximity of Port Askaig, Coal Ila and Bunnahabhain is not negligible.

In the heart of Port Ellen, this establishment is not lacking in character and Joy, its owner, bears its name well for her constant good humour. The rooms are as impeccable as they are spacious, bright and stylish. Each room has a large, gleaming bathroom and the feeling of well-being is paramount. The fireplace in the dining room fits in perfectly with the cosy atmosphere of the place. The hotel is conveniently located and offers superb views.
