"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."

"Wonderful experience that feels like staying in a home while also maintaining all the independence and amenities that you’d expect from a hotel. Make sure you work up a good appetite for the delicious breakfasts!"

"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. "

"Great staff and restaurant "

"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! "

"My wife and I had a great time here. We will definitely come back."

"Lovely stay, very accommodating. Breakfast and evening meal staff were great. Breakfast was plenty and of great standard. Evening meal had lots of variety giving us choice for the three nights we stayed. We also hired bikes locally that were waiting at the hotel. Even large glass windows in the dinning and breakfast area to look out at the baby rabbits and over to Jura on clear days "

"Very warm welcome from Nick. Spotless room and bathroom. Dinner was delicious. Beer icy cold and views fantastic. Definitely add this little gem to your list of places to stay"
