We loved everything about Loch Gorm. Wish we booked a longer stay. Our hostess Fiona was just lovely and provided us with everything we needed and more. We appreciate her lovely home and very generous hospitality.

Fiona was very helpful. She booked us a taxi to visit distilleries. She made two dinner reservations for us. Breakfast was great.

There was nothing. Everything was perfect.

I emailed prior to arriving to enquire if I could check in early. This request was granted and Fiona was very prompt in her communication with myself. Fiona gave us a lovely welcome as did Riley and Pip. Beautiful house in stunning location. Parking is across from the guest house which was ideal. Our room didn’t have an en-suite but we had our own private bathroom across from our room. Due to this we were provided with dressing gowns. Our room was the red room and it was a beautiful room looking out to the back garden. It had everything you could need. Plenty storage space, hospitality tray with an assortment of teas and coffee and biscuits. Fresh bottles of water daily. The bed was a king size and very comfortable. Fiona took our order and time for breakfast the night before. There is plenty options for breakfast from cereal to fruit to pastries and a delicious cooked breakfast. I emailed Fiona to inform her I was vegetarian. She went out her way to provide me with a delicious choice of vegetarian food for breakfast which was much appreciated. Fiona is very hospitable and we enjoyed many’s a chat and cup of tea while she informed us of places to visit and go for dinner. Nothing was too much trouble. The dogs were very friendly and enjoyed attention from guests. Perfect location to explore this beautiful island. Thank you Fiona for everything. We will definitely be back.

Nothing at all. It was just Wow!

Fantastic place to stay. Century-old house. Extremely clean. Fiona ( the host) has a great sens of humour. She takes care of every details and she had served us realy great breakfast. The place is at 8 minutes of walk from Bruichladdich distillery.

Beautiful house, well located for access to Bruichladdich , Port Charlotte, Portnahaven Bridgend. Nothing was more than 30minutes away. Comfortable beds, well appointed bedrooms and beautiful bathrooms with great showers. Towels, bathroom extras, tea and coffee making and biscuits etc all added to the welcome. Fabulous breakfasts - don’t miss it and give yourself time to do it justice. Buffet for cereals, fruits, yogurt, juices etc but the cooked breakfasts are exceptional. Fiona is the most welcoming of hosts - nothing is too much trouble. Great advice for things to do around the island. We’ll be back.

Fiona was an amazing host. Very informative on all things Islay related- restaurants, distilleries and things to do / places to go. The breakfast has a very deserved reputation- so many choices and all fresh and cooked to perfection.

Beautiful house, comfortable and clean room with stunning view on sea. The owner is very friendly and helpful in suggesting where to eat on the island. Great handmade breakfasts. Highly recommended.

Not much to say here, only issue I had is the same issue I have everywhere, the pillows are never supportive enough. But I was able to make it work.

Great location, great host. Fiona went above and beyond to help us get the right contacts on Islay. Breakfast was excellent and I hope to visit both Islay and Loch Gorm House again in the future.

A mini fridge in the room for chilled water,would have been good. However, the host had fixed that with a bottle of water, which was chilled, on each bedside table every day. So really there was nothing to dislike.

Beautiful bedroom, fantastic view. Very comfortably furnished with lounge chairs to enjoy the view. Huge bathroom with walk-in rain shower and a roll top bath with a view of the sea. Lovely

Honestly, nothing.

The breakfasts were simply perfect. Even on our last day, when we had to leave early, Fiona had prepared a packed lunch for us to take along. All our dinners had been booked in advance, as well as transportation to and from the restaurants. It is nearly impossible to receive better service than this. In addition, we were able to learn a great deal about Islay by chatting over breakfast about the local customs and way of life.

Loch Gorm House is amazing. The view is incredible and the hospitality is wonderful. The breakfast was fantastic! I would highly recommend a stay in this beautiful guesthouse. The house is located very close to Bruichladich Distillery which was our favorite tour of all the ones we went on. Definitely worth booking a tour there. The house is also great for birdwatching. We saw several new species for us by just looking out our bedroom window.

We liked the most a couple of hings: The quality of the house, nice and cosy. Fiona made all her possible to make our stay extraordinary. Booking restaurants for us for dinner (could be a challenge otherwise). Sharing places worth a visit (eg. Oysters place). Sharing the history of Islay. The breakfasts were fantastic, take an extra coffee (and peers in coffee) for me. Finally the situation is perfect to visit the Island.

We had an amazing 2 night stay! The room was comfortable, and the house was beautiful! Fiona makes sure you have lunch and dinner reservations at good restaurants on the island. She also is a great cook and breakfast was super delicious!

Everything was perfect, nothing to add here.

Fiona was an outstanding host, very caring, so pleasant, nice and accommodating. She was incredibly helpful in guiding us during our stay with her. She even did laundry of our clothes since we had been on the road for a few days. The room was very large, especially the newly renovated attached bathroom. Her breakfast was amazing, a very large spread to start off our day. Top notch B&B with a top notch host in Fiona, the best host we have stayed with in all our travels. Can't wait to stay with Fiona again. We highly recommend staying at Loch Gorm house with Fiona.
