Absolutely gorgeous spot to stay and felt so private. The food was top notch as was the staff. And the balcony of the restaurant was perfect to watch the sunset over the bay each night. Im not a golfer but the beautiful course makes me want to learn to play.
Thanks,

This was not an inexpensive stay for us, but we certainly got what we paid for. The food and facilities were first rate and though we're not golfers we enjoyed walking along the course and out along the shore

Stay was Wonderfull. Getting to the facility and into town is a challenge as taxi’s are inconsistent.
The Golf is wonderful, golf staff could have been more helpful as we nearly ran out of golf balls (wish they had encouraged us to purchase extra as we were renting) the course is very challenging and absolutely breathtaking with beauty. I would absolutely return for another trip.

Excellent hotel on the island of Islay. The golf course surrounds the hotel. The staff provided excellent service. The restaurant was great, all 6 of us had a great dinner and breakfast the next day. The room was very spacious and the beds were wonderful. About 10 minutes outside of Port Ellen.
