A superb gem on a wonderful island
Pros:

The beds and room were both comfy and nicely furnished. Everyone made us feel welcomed and couldn’t do enough for us. Super friendly and just a lovely family run hotel and pub. The food was brilliant too..!

Like home away from home
Pros:

Gemütliches kleines Hotel mit modernem Zimmer, riesen Bett und TV, super nettem Personal und schönem Pub, in dem man das beste schottische Frühstück bekommt und am Abend herzliche Gesellschaft und gutes Bier. Direkt am Meer gelegen und mit einem super Seafood Restaurant in der Nähe. Bei Ian fühlt man sich, als würde man alte Freunde besuchen. Wir kommen wieder!

Cons:

Der Raumlufterfrischer war etwas penetrant, aber das ist geschmackssache. Alles andere war absolute spitze und es war das schönste schottische Hotel, in dem wir bisher waren.

The Locindaal
Pros:

Location was fine. Breakfast okay but a bit casual. For example fruit juice in cartons on the table, packets of cereal - not what we would expect at this price. Staff very friendly and helpful and cooked bit of breakfast was fine.

Cons:

Other hotels we have stayed at during this island-hopping trip have offered, for the same price, more spacious public rooms, separate dining area and one even had two swimming pools. In our opinion, the Lochindaal should be marketed as a friendly, traditional Scottish pub with rooms and priced accordingly. We enjoyed staying there but felt it was over-priced.

An enjoyable stay in a comfortable room.
Pros:

The bedroom was a lovely modern renovated room with a new bathroom and great shower. The bed was very comfortable. We appreciated the coffee maker.

Cons:

Breakfast was a bit hit and miss, tired looking fruit and nearly empty cereal packets on the bar the first morning.

Warm and cozy staff and room - the perfect place to stay in Port Charlotte!
Pros:

The room was SO cozy! A plush bed and couch, it was perfect. The owner was SO cordial, like many folks on Islay he made me feel like family from the moment we met. Welcoming, friendly, everything you could want!!

A wonderful place to stay when on Islay.
Pros:

Jake and Ian run a fantastic inn. Its clear that this is the pride of their family. They pride themselves on the upkeep and cleanliness of the hotel. Its a gathering spot for locals too. A super friendly place to call home when you are traveling to Islay.

Cons:

I loved everything. It is hard for someone who has heart disease to eat a heart healthy meal - but not impossible.
