We are not golfers, but found this hotel an excellent, though expensive, place to stay. It had lots of amenities to appeal to non golfers and was in an excellent location with very helpful staff. A car is essential to stay here.
The breakfast was very good, as I am sure was the dinner. However we chose not to have dinner as there didn't appear to be much plain food on the menu. Although it may have been possible to ask for this, we felt the price being asked reflected the complexity of the menu, and plain food would not have been value for money.
If you are looking for a place to stay on Islay that offers a comfortable and beautiful setting, complimented by great food and friendly and helpful staff, look no further. The rooms were wonderfully furnished and the attention to detail throughout the property was evident at every turn. The grounds, in particular the walk to the beach, were well done and drew us in for regular strolls.
Didn't play golf this time, but have in the past . . . highly recommended.
All told, five wonderful days.
The hotel is beautiful and very comfortable. However, I wish the staff told us during checkin that breakfast was included. We also had the room serviced on day 1, but not day 2. And the room lock malfunctioned on day 2, meaning one of us had to always be in the room.
Excellent property to consider when visiting Islay. Especially if you want to also get a round of golf in on Links style course along with all the whisky tours.
