Everything + the awesome seafood restaurant belonging to the same owner, an absolute must!

The breakfqst was fantastic. Biggest compliment I can give was it was cooked as I would havr done it at home.

This would have been a 10 score but the suite is right above the bar. Our first night was ok as we were up fairly late ourselves and all the noise from below stopped around 11.30. However on our second night it continued into the early hours and was pretty rowdy which made it a very late night for us! I had read previous reviews and was aware of this before we went but hadn't expected it to go on quite so late. Overall a great place to stay though!

Lovely hotel in a great location. Port Charlotte offers a step back in time with its lovely layout and original dwellings. Everything is tidy and well kept and locals are friendly and helpful. The hotel is just a short walk from the sea and the small quay. We had the suite which provided a large room with a double bed, comfy chairs and small table. A second single room is off this room as is the bathroom. Both rooms have doors into the lovely modern bathroom. This means that you need to be good friends or close family - worked just fine for us. Excellent tea and coffee facilities, toiletries, small fridge etc. We loved the room and the beds were super comfy. The staff were very friendly and helpful if a little hard to find at times.

Room was above pub so a bit noisy in evening. Management provides sleep kit with mask and ear plugs

Family room and location away from busier towns.

Limited evening meal choices but understandable due to catering staff shortage.

Friendly family run hotel with that personal touch. Tasty and well cooked breakfast and comfortable, attractive accommodation. Cosy informal bar/dining area.

Lovely hotel on a beautiful island. Breakfast was excellent. Staff very friendly. Our room was well appointed and clean. I would recommend staying here.

As a smaller hotel, things don't always happen right on schedule, and a little oversight here or there can happen since it doesn't run with the clockwork and large staff of a bigger place. But, the staff are great and will take great care of you.

Beautiful location, lovely local character, good quality accomodations. Food at the hotel and affiliated restaurant is good

Very comfortable beds and well aired. Exceptionally interesting, supportive and friendly staff. Exceptional bar with all the whiskies of Islay. Situation ideal for exploring the Island and Jura.

Stairs. Like any older hotel in Europe, it's all stairs. For a person like myself who has bad knees, it was not fun.

The people who ran the hotel treated us like family. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. The room was comfortable and up to modern standards.

Food menu in the bar could have been better. We had three rooms. Bruichladdich and ardnahoe on the first floor and bowmore on the ground. The heating in bowmore was not good enough.

Good rooms, very friendly and efficient staff, friendly owner , flexible.

We would like to have stayed longer. We'll definitely come back.

Everything was superb and an excellent value. The room has all the facilities of a top-notch bed and breakfast, staff (the MacLellans, all wonderful) was super attentive and a joy to talk to. The heated floor in the bathroom felt like a game-changer. This property is one of a few where we'd be compelled to return to the location just to stay here. Truly rates as a 15 (at least) on a 10-scale.

All good!

Family owned and run, the Lochindaal was super friendly with very comfortable accommodation and great food. Our spacious, modernised room in this charming 200-year-old building was located above the main bar, and some sound came through. But host Ian took care of it with all good humour. Hopefully we’ll visit Islay again. If we do, Lochindaal will definitely be our accommodation of choice.
