For the price I was a little surprised. The bedroom was a little disappointing. Not very modern, very small shower and no bedside table or lamps although it was clean. There was also no hot water so taking a shower was a wee bit chilly! The bar and restaurant area were very nice and the staff friendly. Plus the evening... More

My husband and I have just spent a weeks holiday on Islay and spent 3 nights at this hotel. The hospitality and food is second to none. The downstairs is currently under refurbishment and what had been completed was an example of fantastic craftmanship and business manages to carry on as usual. What lets this hotel down is the small... More

Stayed here for two nights whilst working on Islay. On reading the placing of 9/9 in the trip advisor 'league' I had my doubts. These were soon eliminated on checking in. The stylish clean interior of the bar/lounge was welcoming as were the staff. Food..........where to start, the choice was endless.!!! With the vast selection of courses including specials and...

The journey there may be fraught with planes unable to land etc., but once you make it that is all forgotten. The Bowmore Hotel is such a friendly place with great food and a fine selection of the local Islay single malt whiskies! Islay is beautiful although roads and weather not the best but it is safe to explore wherever... More

Add at attentitive service and a good selection of drinks and the scene is set. Set off the main street in Bowmore with on the road parking... More

I stayed at this hotel for two nights on the 10th and 11th August 2012. I travelled as part of group of 15 males aged 20+ to 55 for a stag weekend. The situation of the hotel was ideal for what we had planned, which included a day trip to the lovely beach at Port Ellen (with bike hire from... More

This so-called 'hotel' was the pits. What a rip-off. Booked 3 nights but escaped after 1. Couldn't stay there if you paid me. Reluctantly paid £80 for the night. Should have been £100 what a cheek.

I am sorry you chose to write such a negative review. You felt the room was too small however you must bear in mind the age of the property, 1835 with the extension of six bedrooms in 1912. All our rooms are of a similar size and we do keep them well decorated. Our staff keep the cleanliness of the... More
