The Islay - Argyll Bute

Great Service, Friendly and Quick. Great Food, Loved the Ardbeg infused dish on the starter of chicken wings and the main was the best burger i’ve had in a long time. great menu to accommodate a friend who is pescatarian, so everyone was happy.

We stayed here for 4 nights and enjoyed breakfast and dinner several times. Excellent local food and kind service. The room was great and this was a wonderful place to stay to see the many whisky distilleries. Close to walking trails and a wonderful little beach in Port Ellen across the street from the hotel. We will be back.

Do not give these people your money, I took my family there for what I thought would be a beautiful meal. Ordered the steak medium rare, got some over cooked monster meat. Kitchen tried to say that medium rare is an opinion and I was wrong. Never been treated like it in my life, go anywhere but here.

Ordered the 50 day matured Ribeye Streak medium rare and got a cremated lump of stewing steak. Asked the staff to return it to the kitchen and was told that the chef recons medium rare is an opinion and his opinion was correct and mine was wrong. Got an apology from the staff and the kids meals taken off the price but I won’t be back.

As they don t accept reservations anymore, your only chance to get a table is come latest at 6 get to the bar until the kichen opens and get your table then. Come later and nothing is available anymore... we tried 3 times no dinner there... luckily there are other (excellent) options in Port Ellen!
