"The property definitely needs some updating, it is a little bit on the rundown side, but it has absolutely stunning and well maintained grounds, which I highly recommend taking the time to explore. The House is unique and has a lot of potential. Staff was quite helpful and our room was very clean. It’s definitely off the beaten path so expect to walk a little bit for a bus stop or pre-reschedule a taxi. Do not rely on Uber on the island. So make sure to plan ahead and decide where you want to have meals. Breakfast at the property is good, but there is not an on-site restaurant in no room service. You need to make sure that you are selecting a restaurant in town and booking a table."
"Very warm and welcoming hosts. Comfortable and lovely room. Dog friendly. Some booking platforms aren’t great at passing on messages from property so I suggest contacting them directly before arriving to check meal times on site."
"Friendly owners. Great place to stay nice comfortable rooms and bathroom. Fridge in room is a great bonus. Will be staying here next time on islay
Awesome location 20 stars"
"The facilities were great . Our room was the Hayloft and was fantastic . I would say more like a studio flat with our own kitchen dining and lounge areas . It was very relaxing such a lovely place overall. We chose to have breakfast in the cafe each morning and it was excellent. The staff were very helpful when it came to local eating out for evening meals and things to see and do . I definitely agree with others I would give it a 10 out of 10 and will be back"
"Couldn’t fault the property or the staff.
The amenities are as best as you could expect in such a small island.
Manager was very helpful and chatty
I would recommend the Colonsay Hotel for shorts stays , not because there is anything wrong with it , the staff , ir the island but it is a small island and there is only so much you can do.
Beaches are stunning and so is the walk across The Strand to the Isle of Oransay"
"Very pleasant hotel to stay in with friendly interested staff who do their very best to make your stay enjoyable. From arranging taxis, giving their very noted malt whisky expertise to meals and recommendations. Love Port Charlotte, would definitely go again."
