That time we went to Islay to see where our favorite whiskey is distilled. There are numerous distilleries on the island and wonderful tours. Hire a car from a local and stay at a lovely B&B.

Another Place, The Machrie

Another Place, The Machrie

10/10 Excellent
"it’s a nice boutique hotel but the rooms are cozy and not too bad. Also, the hotel is very close to the airport but middle of nowhere. If you have to take a taxi service to Bowmore, which is the town center, for meals, It will cost 40 poundsround-trip. The hotel has a restaurant on site but sort of limited menu if you have any kind of meal restrictions or limitations. It is also close to a beach and has a golf course. The beach is beautiful and such a nice walk from the hotel."
