Glenegedale House

Kintra

Glenegedale House offers accommodation in Glenegedale and is situated 5 miles from Port Ellen and 6 miles from Bowmore.

Each room includes a flat-screen TV. Rooms are equipped with a private bathroom fitted with a shower. For your comfort, you will find bathrobes and slippers. Our hosts Emma and Graeme made us feel very welcome. The breakfast is a feast in itself! Three courses of locally sourced products cooked to perfection. There’s even the option for a tot of single malt on your porridge! The place is spotlessly clean and extremely well decorated, residents have the full run of the downstairs where they can relax in the comfy sofas and enjoy a G&T from the amazing selection of Scottish gins. They also provide evening meals and will happily cater for any special dietary requirements provided you let them know in advance. If you choose to eat out, there are good restaurants in Bowmore, the cleverly named Peatzeria and, in Port Ellen, the Sea Salt Bistro and the Islay Hotel. A visit to one or more of the distilleries on Islay is a must as is a trip to Jura and the wonderful Lussa gin distillery at the far end of the island. Would we stay there again. Absolutely…

This beachfront property offers access to free WiFi and free private parking. The guest house has family rooms. Location was fabulous! The included breakfast was well-stocked and had fresh coffee. There’s a spot for guests to refrigerate food. We got takeaway a few times for meals. We could eat our takeaway in the dining area, which was nice. For a small fee they took care of our laundry. This was really nice after traveling for a few days. We had a later flight on our checkout day. They let us store our luggage in the room until later.
