- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.5Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 22 reviewsWhen you enter the B&B, they greet you kindly. The breakfast is not only delicious but also tremendous in volume. We also provide additional food if you want. They serve a glass of whiskey with the meal, which is very refreshing. The room is also clean. I have never seen accommodation with such clean facilities. It even made me want to visit Islay again because of this B&B.Guest review byMoonkyoSouth Korea

Port Ellen is perfect for whisky lovers.
Port Ellen is perfect for whisky lovers. There are many great distilleries in walking distance (Port Ellen, Ardbeg, Lagavulin, Laphroaig and soon another one) and many more by bus or taxi (but taxis are sometimes hard to get and there is no Uber available).Guest review bySilvioSwitzerland - 8.0

Bridgend is located about 15 minutes from the ferry terminal in Port Askaig (Islay). The town is centrally located to both the Northern and Southern distillery districts. If you are not a whisky enthusiast, birdwatching, hiking, and great scenery are only a short drive away.Guest review byMarkCanada - 10.0

There is a short but pleasant walk of just over half a mile to the little lighthouse on the coast north of the town. The local museum is small but well worth a visit. The locals are friendly and helpful. It's a good jumping off point for visiting sites like Finlaggan Trust and the Cultoon Stone Circle and places like Portnahaven (we saw seals cavorting there). The food at the Port Charlotte Hotel is splendid.Guest review byCarolineAustralia - 8.0
BOWMORE is a good town to make it your base "camp" to go...
BOWMORE is a good town to make it your base "camp" to go around to visit the distilleries. It meets your basic needs for restaurants, grocery store, pharmacy, post office and a place to get gas. The people were friendly and helpful. For us during our time period for the visit, there was a big street repaving project going on which made the streets very rough to drive on - I believe that this improvement should be finished now. We enjoyed our visit here. The one piece of advice that I would make - is to make reservations for dinner at any place you want to eat at.Guest review byPatriciaCanada - 10.0

Islay is a beautiful place, we could have spent another week there to fully enjoy the island and the locale. We were focused on whiskey (uisge beatha) but also enjoyed local walks, the woolen mill and local restaurants. Booking is recommended for any meal you're eating in a restaurant. Also if self catering - there are only a couple of Co-op stores (no big supermarket). You can feed yourself but choice is limited.Guest review byMaryUnited Kingdom - 2.0

This review is for Islay, not just Ballygrant.
This review is for Islay, not just Ballygrant. We rented a car. It was very easy to get around Islay, even driving on the left or on one-lane roads with pull-outs, because there was so little traffic. Our favorite places, outside our amazing lodging at Kilmeny, were the ancient sites and the distilleries. We saw Finnlagen, islands in a loch that were home to the ancient Lords of the Isles, https://www.finlaggan.org/, and the Kildalton Cross, an ancient celtic cross. We visited Laphroig, Lagavulin, Bowmore and Bunnahabhen distilleries. We were concerned that we wouldn't be able to enjoy the distillery tastings if we rented a car, but it is fine. The distilleries all have a "driver" package, where they give only a teensie bit so you can understand the tasting conversations, then give you your whisky to go, in little bottles that hold about twice what they put in the tasting glasses. Book tours and tastings early! The food at the restaurant in the Bridgend Hotel was delicious.Guest review byPerry - 8.0

Pubs/bar - try all of them (only 3 if including Sea Salt Bistro). I only had time to visit one and chose unwisely - the Ardview Inn and wasn't impressed (only a snapshot - maybe depends on the staff at the time) and LOCAL Finlaggan beer there was £2 more than other pubs and inns I visited in the island (over £7 vs £5 elsewhere!) But it's good beer - buy it at the Coop or another pub. Views beautiful from the harbour front. Use the Coop and make your summer picnic on one of the four benches provided. The town up keep is good. Clearly looked after by all involved including local council. 3 mile whisky trail. Get bus back from Ardbeg. But do check out the 4m plus standing stone near Portintruan.Guest review byBENJAMINUnited Kingdom - 10.0

I can’t say enough about this marvellous place. The beautiful setting, the attentive and friendly staff, the food, the very comfortable room … it was all fantastic and added up to an unforgettable experience that I would love to do again. Thanks for the magic.Guest review byRickCanada - 8.0
Great little village with the friendliest people throughout.
Great little village with the friendliest people throughout. 3 very good restaurants within walking distance. Bus runs from here to Portnahaven in the South and to the main other towns (Bowmore/Port Ellen) though ends at 6pm. For food, drink and friendly chats recommend The Port Charlotte Hotel, also the live music Sunday & Wednesday. Lochindaal Seafood Kitchen excellent seafood from a short menu. Worth a walk to Port Mor Community Cafe for breakfast.Guest review byR.MoffatUnited Kingdom
