The Oa hotel guide. Independent hotel in The Oa, Islay Island

"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"

"The location was perfect right in the heart of Bowmore with a wonderful view. Fiona and Duncan were wonderful hosts with excellent food, wit, and charm. The room was spacious and clean with everything we could have needed."

"The staff was incredible at Port Charlotte and made our stay a real treat. Thanks to Lorna, David and everyone else! We would definitely love to stay another time."

"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."

"Excellent property which has all the amenities, contributing to an outstanding stay. Good communication throughout the booking process, on-going, up to departure. Very clean. Attention to detail throughout the property allowed for a comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable stay in this most gorgeous of villages, Port Charlotte. I hav stayed in these properties 3 times now, and will return again, without hesitation."
