Breakfast was really great, welcome was also great. Overall, really nice. Beds were super comfortable. Location great, but would advise to guarantee an evening meal, as it's quite a treck to the nearest town. Common areas encourage mingling with fellow guests in a relaxing manner.

Ric
United States of America
This was the absolute best placed we stayed on our entire trip. And now one of my favorites ever. Thomas was amazing at communicating, making you feel welcomes, cooked an amazing breakfast and responded to our every request. Then there are the beautiful and impeccably kept accommodations. Stay here once and you'll want to return to Islay just to stay here again. And be sure to visit the Islay Woolen Mill nearby, a true classic. If I could give this more than a 10 rating, I would.

What Guests Said About Port Ellen:

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 $244.77 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 900 reviewsEverything about the property is great--the staff, the accommodations, the breakfast, the room. Caroline, the proprietor, is very hands-on and contentious and the location is really good. Itʻs not in the middle of town but right at the edge where the view of the coast is really pretty. Easy walking distance to eateries (1 block) and sundry stores, and a cute little park next door for kids. If the weather is nice there are lots of walking trails with incredible sights.
CarolynUnited States of America - 8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 401 reviewsThe location to explore Islay, distilleries and ferry home is excellent. Everything was clean and well presented. The room with En-suite was a reasonable size with usual tea coffee biscuits TV available. The shower had good flow pressure and hot water. The hotel host AJ was very attentive ensuring we had everything we needed, very friendly and made our stay extremely enjoyable, thank you 😊 The breakfast was continental and was ample for my needs.AlanUnited Kingdom
- 7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 39 reviewsVery traditional sort of cottage, with extensions for the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms. It certainly is a quirky layout, but also quite quaint. Bottom line is that it works and suited us three blokes on our whisky excursion. The kitchen is well appointed and clean and includes a washing machine, etc. It is a short/medium walk into Port Ellen; probably about 20 minutes, past the re-opened Port Ellen Distillery and Rum distillery.TrevorAustralia
