"Beautiful and peaceful with very friendly staff! Would definitely recommend staying here!"

"The largest rooms that we have rented in Scotland and it’s very elegant and has a great history"

"The Island Bear is a wonderful place to base a trip to Islay. It is situated at the center of town in Bowmore. The owners are very attentive and nice to talk with. The rooms are modern and very clean. Highly recommend! "

"Beautiful views. Very welcoming and helpful staff in the hotel and bar."

"Great spot on the way to Campbeltown. Bed was comfy and great size bathroom. Food in the evening was difficult as lots of places were full, but would stay again. "

"The property is so well equipped for self catering and it is situated in the middle of the island, very convenient for visiting the whisky distilleries."

"We absolutely loved our stay at Bowmore house. We booked the distillery view room. It was very spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic, and we even got to sample the proprietary whisky. The staff kicked us informed of any possible issues with returning from the island via the ferry. We would definitely stay here again next time we visit."

"Great location, friendly staff, comfortable room. Limited wi fi. Shower not great."
