Highly recommend The Bowmore House
We had a lovely stay at The Bowmore House. Very comfortable and clean. Our hosts were extremely helpful in giving us advice about the island. The breakfast was really good and the rooms very clean.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this accommodation. Also, Bowmore is very central to the rest of the island.

Brilliant B&B
Andrew and Alison were extremely welcoming. Their B&B is an absolute credit to them and they could not do enough to make a weary biker feel at home. The location is ideal for exploring Islay and the fantastic Bowmore Distillery. The breakfast is one of the best breakfast's I've ever had (bacon, Lorne sausage and haggis roll). Cooked perfectly. Look no further, you've found the B&B you were looking for!

The owners were extremely welcoming, every day started with a delicious breakfast and a chat about the days plans, they often shared their local knowledge of certain distilleries. This attention to detail extended to making sure everyone knew what ferry they were on and if there were disruptions. The location is perfectly central, so 20 minutes drive north or south covers all the distilleries on Islay. Cannot recommend The Bowmore House highly enough.

The owner and his wife are so kind and helpful. We had a very large room with a bay window looking out over the water which was fabulous! We were offered Islay whiskey for breakfast every morning along with a delicious breakfast cooked by the owner himself!

Felt like we stayed with our Scottish Family
This is by far the absolute BEST place to stay on Islay! We were warmly greeted by Andrew prior to our arrival. He let us know about the local restaurants, tours available and the ferry information. Andrew’s kindness and warmth made our stay feel like we were staying with our Scottish family. The beds are soft but firm. The blankets like soft butter you melt into. The bath water was immediately hot, no lag time. Plenty of fluffy towels await you after. The made to order breakfast is amazing! Delicious. Plenty of options. Our fridge was stocked with plenty of juice, milk and water to keep us hydrated. This family run B&B is the only place we will ever stay in Islay. It’s perfect.

Absolutely fabulous stay, stayed in the bowmore suite which was amazing, huge room with fabulous views of the bay and also to Jura Breakfast served to the room due to covid and was delicious. Shame we had to leave early on our second day but did have cereal in the room as well as teas , juices etc Welcomed with a dram of whiskey Very friendly host Andrew who sent us information and recommendations about the island prior to check in so we could ensure we made bookings for restaurants and distillaries due to reduced covid capacity Would definately stay again if returning to Islay
