Beautiful rooms and a great view, delicious breakfast with lots of options, amazing hospitality.

This is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. We felt very well looked after by Margaret. She had thought of every last detail to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. From the perfectly manicured lawn, to the delicious home-baking and the state-of-the-art telly at the end of the bath! Kilmeny is a farmhouse in the middle of the island up a track at the the top of a little hill. The outlook is beautiful, the room was very thoughtfully, comfortably and tastefully decorated and the breakfasts were possibly the best ever. It is a place to savour for a few nights, rather than a quick pitstop to rest your head as you travel through. Indulge yourself and savour some first class Islay hospitality.

The atmosphere (the cottage itself, the nature surroundings, the hospitality of Margaret and Blair, the delicious scottish home made food)

From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, the service was exceptional, and Margaret, the owner, is simply wonderful – warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. We can’t wait to come back!

Kilmeny is a cosy and welcoming farmhouse. We were warmly greeted by Margaret with tea and freshly baked cake. She willingly shared her expertise of the island to help us plan our stay. The room was spacious, clean and extremely comfortable with lots of little homely touches. Not to mention that the breakfast was delicious and we left for each day full of home baked goods! We can’t recommend Kilmeny enough.

We had a wonderful stay on Islay. The place was spotless and full of charm, and our host couldn’t have been kinder. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the island and gave us great tips for exploring, which made our visit even more special. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We received a warm welcome with delicious cake and a tipple of local whisky. A family run bed and breakfast that provided a delicious breakfast, comfortable beds and thoughtful touches in the room. We appreciated the service that was non-intrusive, considerate and caring.

Absolutely nothing, it was honestly perfect!

Every detail was considered. The room was beautiful and comfortable, the location was stunning and the food was incredible. Margaret was the most wonderful host, making excellent recommendations and baking delicious treats.

Our stay at Kilmeny was exceptional! We absolutely loved it. The photos on here don't do the cuteness of the rooms justice. Margaret is the most wonderful, gracious host. She accommodated all of our special needs and requests and went above and beyond in her hospitality. Her baking is to die for, even my cake-hating husband devoured everything she put in front of him. The breakfast was outstanding, especially the fish. Kilmeny was the first place we stayed on our week long Scotland trip and living up to Margaret's standards was absolutely impossible for any of the B&Bs that followed.

This was the most fantastic stay, we came here to explore the island and whiskey distilleries for my 30th birthday and we couldn’t have picked a better place. The attention to detail from Margaret was second to none, and nothing was too much trouble. Everything was spotless and extremely comfortable, and the views are lovely. The breakfast was superb, one of the best breakfasts i’ve ever had! Couldn’t recommend this place more and will definitely be back, we were ready to move in by the end of our stay! Thank you so much Margaret for an unforgettable experience!

This B & B is amongst the very best places I have ever stayed. The location is just beautiful and very tranquil and the house and rooms were immaculately clean, beautifully styled and so very comfortable that I wished I was staying a week. You could see immediately that a lot of very careful thought and care had gone into every detail to ensure the guests stay is comfortable. But what really elevates this B & B to something very special was the welcome by our hosts Margaret and Blair. They are lovely kind people and have captured the correct formula for a very special business. Being served a lovely afternoon tea with home made cakes and being able to eat itin our room while we looked out at the scenery was a perfect way to end the day. The breakfast was amazing with wonderfully presented fruits and cereals along with a perfectly cooked breakfast with lots of choice. This B & B is beyond 5 star and worth travelling to Islay to alone.

This is genuine 5 star hospitality at its finest. Margaret and Blair are fabulous hosts, nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was exceptional.

there was nothing to not like.

As I left early each morning, Margaret kindly prepared some breakfast and left it in my room each night. I thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary whiskey on arrival, even better enjoying this sitting in the front garden with expectational views of the countryside

Everything. The gardens were wonderful.

Incredible hospitality and pastoral setting. Just what a well run bed and breakfast should be! Spacious suite with sitting room and whisky and tea. Spacious ensuite bathroom. Comfortable bed that brought actual good sleep. Margaret and the lambs were icing on the cake of this whole experience. Oh and the breakfast too. We brought dinner takeaway to sit outside and take in the setting.

Spotlessly clean, so comfy, beautiful views, wonderful host. I’ve stayed in many different accommodations on Islay and this was by far by favourite. Will definitely be back, it was perfect. Fantastic breakfast too!

Kilmeny is idyllically located on acres of property a short drive from both the Port Askaig ferry terminal and Bowmore. It is absolutely beautiful and Margaret is the most welcoming host. The room was lovely, the bed comfy, the views outstanding and the home cooked breakfast was superb.
