"Breakfast was ok although staff spoke very little english. Ended up getting a full scottish breakfast when that wasnt what was ordered.
Rooms were roasting hot and wouldnt turn down/ off. Rooms were good size but werent the cleanest or in the best of condition.
Views are great and were the best part of the stay"
"The Island Bear is very conveniently located in the cneter of Islay, a block away from ameneties, and the revered Bowmore distillery. The propert is nice, clean and lovingly mainted by the couple who also live there and are very helpful. Dunca (the owner) prepared deliciious Scotish breakfast every morning and was a reservoir of Islay knowledge. He knows every body on the Island, and everyone knows him fondly. I had great discussion with Duncan at breakfast every morning, and it was a highlight of my trip. Thank you for your hospitality."
"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."
"Great place! Beautiful and big house! Helpful owner if any questions . Strategic location right in between all distilleries. Really unique house in an idyllic situation on a beach!

"The staff are angels on earth! Karl helped me fix a ferry/bus schedule problem and saved me from being stranded across the island in the dark. Lorna saved me from another transportation oversight I made, connecting me with a taxi driver that kept me on schedule. Without them my whole trip to Islay would have been a disaster, but instead, it was wonderful! Oh, and the hostel is lovely, clean, informative, and peaceful. "
