Port Askaig Hotel is a picturesque, family run Highland Inn on the shores of the Sound of Islay, overlooking the pier at which daily car ferries berth on arrival from the Scottish mainland. Due to its proximity to the ferry, the hotel offers easy access to Jura, Colonsay and the mainland. The hotel has been in family ownership for over 50 years. Situated in arguably the best coastal location in Islay this old drove inn offers a mix of 13 double/twin/family rooms + 1 single room - all with en-suite facilities.

Hotel

Report

There was an Inn at Port Askaig four hundred years ago. This is now incorporated within the Hotel as the public bar and is the oldest licensed premises on Islay. Live music is often played in here, so why not come in and meet the locals? The rest of the building dates back to the eighteenth century and has been extensively adapted to provide a comfortable standard with modern kitchens. Great care has been taken to preserve the character and peace of a bygone age with the use of fine antique furniture and other items of interest.

Travel

Report

The Erskine Bridge is a good starting point to guide you from, whether crossing over from the M8, or passing by on the A82. Follow the A82 along the edge of Loch Lomond to Tarbet, then take the A83 through Arrochar, over the "Rest and Be Thankful" on to Inveraray and down Loch Fyne, passing Lochgilphead and Tarbert.
