"호스트 필립은 처음 이 섬을 방문한 제가 불편하지 않게 최대한 많은 것을 도와주려고 했습니다. 조식도 만족스러웠으며, 룸 컨디션은 최상이였습니다."

"This is a fantastic hotel with excellent staff and terrific ambience."

"Great property and views. "

"David is a great host. Very quick to respond. The cottage is very clean. Internet was fast. Beautiful quiet area. Good to arrive to Coffee & tea and biscuits and milk in the fridge, cleaning products and bin bags all the basics. The central heating was on when I arrived late at night so the cottage was cosy and warm. Plenty of hot water. The kitchen and dining area is very light and spacious with great views of countryside. The cottage is next to a working farm so lots of sheep and cows. I was visiting friends and family ten minutes walk away. You do need to have a car when staying here, there is nothing but beautiful scenery and peace and quiet. Shops and restaurants are not within walking distance. But nothing is too far away and there is never a traffic jam on Islay and always something to see ! "

"The property is so well equipped for self catering and it is situated in the middle of the island, very convenient for visiting the whisky distilleries."

"We absolutely loved our stay at Bowmore house. We booked the distillery view room. It was very spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic, and we even got to sample the proprietary whisky. The staff kicked us informed of any possible issues with returning from the island via the ferry. We would definitely stay here again next time we visit."

"Wonderful experience that feels like staying in a home while also maintaining all the independence and amenities that you’d expect from a hotel. Make sure you work up a good appetite for the delicious breakfasts!"
