Visited for lunch today I believe I was greeted by the owner of the hotel, who kindly acknowledged me. The other 3 people having lunch with me were outside. I asked if I could sit at any table. her response was (well there is only one table isn't there) I didn't know if they had other tables in another room etc. After being showed the menu I was asked 3 times if I was ready to order food within about 3 minutes (the rest of the party was still outside not having seen the menu) Felt very rushed and her tone was extremely sarcastic and self righteous! Terribly unprofessional and doesn't give the right tone for hospitality on such a small island that relies on tourists!

However the other pubs and hotels on the island have been more than welcoming offering humble and genuine service! The food was average at best! And the seafood prices are comparable to London best restaurants! The other blonde bar lady was very polite and courteous

Stayed here for 3 nights about 12 months ago. Marion and Ian, the proprietors were absolutely fantastic, as were all the staff. Room was clean, nice and comfortable overlooking the harbour. Food in the restaurant and breakfast room was excellent (you won't leave hungry). I will go back, although the drive from Merseyside is not for the faint hearted. All in all, a wonderful short break and I would recommend anyone going to Islay to give this hotel a visit.

Came from Port Ellen to have lunch. I asked if there was anything GF on menu, got a very curt reply of no! There was no apology or help maybe to make up a salad or something that was Gf. Disappointing. Back to the wonderful Katie's Bar at Brigdend, who does do fabulous food GF.

CRACKING BURGER. We stopped here twice on our trip because the burgers were so good. Friendly staff, great atmosphere. If you walk in and no staff - just ring the bell.
