Sehr schöne Unterkunft in privatem Wohlfühl-Ambiente
Pros:

Familiengeführtes Haus in dem der Chef Iain das Frühstück (meist) noch selbst macht und ein Full-Scottish-Breakfast serviert das Seinesgleichen sucht. Sehr angenehme private Atmosphäre! Alexander hinter der Bar, ein klasse Typ und Whiskyfachmann, genau so wie sein Bruder Jack, herzensfreundliche Menschen, immer für ein nettes Gespräch aufgelegt. Die Zimmer komplett renoviert mit nagelneuem Bad und hervorragenden Betten. Es gibt zwei Bars, eine im Restaurant-Bereich und eine public Bar, in der sich die Locals treffen und in der es an Wochenenden, gerade wenn Life-Music angesagt ist, schon mal zugehen kann wie in einer Disco.

Highly recommended
Pros:

The room was decorated to a high standard. The location is a good base for exploring the island.

Cons:

There were two lovely chairs. Perhaps a small table between the two would be a good addition.

Don’t judge a book by the cover. This Inn may look “standard” from the outside but was a little gem inside. Many thanks
Pros:

The owners and staff were fantastic and made our stay so enjoyable.
The nice little touches in the room made the stay that much more comfortable and the personal service at breakfasts started the days nicely.

A stay to cherish and remember.
Pros:

Ian and staff were incredibly welcoming and flexible, full of information about local facts, history and nature (Machir Bay, for example). All of this enhanced our short visit and experiences. Coming again.

Pros:

Great location near the sea. Very welcoming staff. And a fabulous comfy room with lovely decor.
Thoughtful choice of soy/oat or real milk on tea tray - and no cliche 2 x shortbread finger pack - lovely Tunnocks " Caramel wafer instead . Nice touch .a
A really great breakfast choice too.

Cons:

Nothing that I can think of other than not being able to stay longer.

Excellent stay, quieter than expected but has a very friendly vibe and great staff
Pros:

Breakfast was very good, staff were super friendly and the room was better than expected. The village is very small and there is not much there other than the two hotels and a restaurant, however, the views from the jetty are very nice and the villagers are very friendly.

Cons:

Nothing

Highly recommend the lovely comfortably modern room in a historic building and pub.
Pros:

The room was wonderful—tastefully decorated, very comfortable bed, great little touches like the coffee machine, and including oat milk and biscuits! The staff were incredibly friendly and the dinner and breakfast were delicious. We were doing a roadtrip around Scotland and the Lochindaal was definitely my favourite of all our stays. Already dreaming of returning to Islay and staying here!
