Quaint and Quirky former crofter s Cottage in Port Ellen, hotel in Port Ellen

Just a 9-minute walk from White Hart Beach and half a mile from Kilnaughton Beach, Quaint and Quirky former crofter s Cottage in Port Ellen features accommodations in Port Ellen with a garden.

Overall, the cottage was a win. We booked it to stay with friends and their family and while we all had to share the one bathroom, once we figured out who was sleeping where, it was fine. The cottage is close to Port Ellen, though we did drive into town it is walkable. We also walked to the singing sand beach and square lighthouse. The host was super helpful, communicated via email and WhatsApp, and they even responded to inquiries/messages after we checked out.

A great location walking distance in to Bowmore. Beautiful views of the water from the front window. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you need to cook in. For coffee drinkers, there is a cafetiere (French press). Having the washing machine was great (bring detergent) and there are a couple of drying racks and clothes line out back if the weather permits. Hair dryers available.

Ardnave, hotel in Port Ellen

Providing a garden, Ardnave features accommodations in Port Charlotte.

The location is great. It is a comfortable place with ample space. It is a nice building (old school) where multiple apartments are located. It is higher up the hill so you have an nice view. And there is nearly no traffic at all so it is nice and quiet. The hostess is helpful and will try to fix any shortcomings (see what I did not like).

Great for families or large parties, vacation homes are privately owned accommodations, available for long or short-term rental.

    Niall is a great, friendly host, he gives useful recommendations for food and things to do, and he makes tasty breakfast. The room makes you feel like home, very clean and comfy. The premise is close to the restaurants at Port Ellen and the local shops. Walkable to the three distilleries trail. Definitely good value for money.

    The staff here were amazing. We had transportation issues which the staff went out of their way to solve. So grateful. The hotel is located close to eating places and the distilleries we were on Islay to visit. It's very clean and comfortable. Breakfast set us up for the day. Lots of choices. Thank you Jack, Robbie and Cathy in particular.

    Excellent hotel which has fresh decor and brilliant staff and very close to ferry terminal. Hotel has a lovely large guest sitting room which is great on wet days/evenings. For the sunny days they have a large outside garden area across the road with plenty of seating. A generous breakfast is on offer. Our room was quite small however it was very clean and had a wonderful comfortable bed. Great hotel and I would recommend it.
