Having stayed one night in the Islay hotel (nextdoor) where we could only liken the staff to something out of 'The League of Gentlemen' we moved over to the Askernish B&B next door. Joy (or 'Joyous Joy' as we have lovingly named her since) could not have been more welcoming - so helpful, so friendly and her house is such... More

Just returned from 2nd stay at Joy's wonderful B&B, Cannot rate Askernish high enough. The rooms are very spacious, bath is huge and the views are stunning. Looking forward to 3rd visit when I hope it's more than a one night stay.

The Askernish was the one B&B that had a single room avaliable. Lucky me. It was simply perfect! The owner Joy is wonderfully welcoming and helped me with renting a bike for the next day, cooked a delicious hot breakfast and made me feel at home. When you are traveling on your own it's good to feel at home... My... More

We spent 5 nights at Akernish b&b and we enjoyed very much our stay. We were looking for a cosy and affordable place to stay on the lovely island of Islay, but most accomodation seemed to be quite pricey!!! Akernish was the perfect place: not a luxury spot, but very clean and comfortable, with the added value of the cheerful... More

We stayed for one night in a clean, comfortable room with large ensuite bathroom. Breakfast was varied and plentiful. The owner was very welcoming and informative. Overall an ideal place to stay if you are planning to visit the lovely island of Islay.

We stayed at Askernish B&B for three nights and this was one of the best B&Bs that we have ever been to. Our room (double + spare bed) was nice, tidy and had everything we needed, but the bathroom was even better. It was very spacious with a big shower and a beautiful bathtub in the middle of the room... More

We stayed for 4 nights. We were offered two different rooms and chosen the one upstairs with a huge bathroom. The room was very tidy,cosy, quiet, and wonderfully furnished. Bathroom was clean and spacious (bathtub and shower were big). Breakfast was excellent (lots of choices). The B&B owner (Joy) was cheerful and very friendly. Great accomodation.

Just had an overnight stay at Askernish and I have got to say it was the best nights sleep I have had for over 2 years. Everything about the B&B is absolutely fantastic. Joy takes so much pride in all she does. Fantastic place to stay.

Stayed at the Askernish Bed and Breakfast for two nights in Jan 2012 and had an excellent stay. Joy was a perfect host. On arriving at the accommodation and speaking to Joy (who had just arrived home from the mainland) she stated that the house was a wee bit cold and that the heating was on full but has also... More
