The Islay Hotel Port Ellen

Review by hotel critic

Located on the picturesque Isle of Islay, the Islay Hotel is a charming property with a growing reputation for serving the finest local seafood, including the famous Seafood Medley. the hotel is nestled in the village of Port Ellen and offers breathtaking views of the harbour, marina, and sandy beaches. As a wheelchair user, I was delighted to find that the hotel has two rooms with extra spacious bathrooms designed for accessibility, making my stay extremely comfortable. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted and offered a welcome drink, setting the tone for a truly relaxing experience. the modern hotel building has been thoughtfully designed to cater to guests with restricted mobility, ensuring that all areas are easily accessible. the platinum rooms are spacious and luxurious, offering either a super king or twin beds for a restful night's sleep. From classic distilleries like Port Ellen and Laphroaig to newer establishments like Kilchoman, the bar had something for every whisky enthusiast. To the exceptional dining options, the hotel offers a range of services including room service, car hire, and tours/ticket assistance. Whether you're a whisky aficionado, a food lover, or simply seeking a relaxing getaway, the Islay Hotel is the perfect choice for a memorable stay on this beautiful island.
