A Wonderful Winter Stay Full of Warmth and Islay Magic!
Pros:

Our stay at the Port Charlotte Hotel on Islay was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always going the extra mile to make us feel comfortable and completely at ease. Their warmth and attention to detail created such a homely atmosphere — we truly felt like part of the family.

The restaurant was a highlight, serving delicious local dishes that celebrated the flavours of Islay beautifully. The chefs clearly put their hearts into every plate. And the bar — what a treat! The selection of local whiskies was fantastic, and we loved trying a few new favourites each evening.

Our room was spotless, cosy, and perfectly appointed with everything we could possibly need. Waking up each morning to those lovely views was such a joy. The location couldn’t have been better either — ideal for exploring the island, with easy access to places like Kilchoman, Bruichladdich, and Bowmore Distilleries. We also adored visiting the charming Windswept Farm Shop, reached through meadows and hills dotted with grazing sheep and Highland cows — pure magic!

All in all, it was an unforgettable experience, and we can’t wait to return.

Cons:

Better than this, dunno!

Pros:

Pour 600$ Canadien la nuit je m’attends à mieux, petit déjeuner très très ordinaire le dernier des 3 petits déjeuner il n’y avait plus de croissants. Très bruyant la chambre à côté de la nôtre faisait beaucoup de bruit lorsqu’il entrait ou sortait. Hotel vieillot aurait besoin d’un rafraîchissement.

Pros:

Comfortable hotel, perfect for soaking up the spirit of Islay.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. It's the ideal place to experience the unique atmosphere and character of Islay.

The restaurant was a true highlight. The chef is a master—the food was exceptional and a huge step above typical British fare. We especially recommend the smoked kipper for breakfast; it was absolutely delicious.

Live music by a band at the bar on every Wednesday and Sunday.
