We have now stayed here several times and it has always been a pleasure. Apart from the friendly staff and excellent restuarant, it is obvious that the owners regard this as a work in progress as we always notice small but significant improvements. We would recommend an executive room and ours was beautifully renovated with a wonderful view of the... More

My partner and I had a lovely long weekend here Valentines weekend for his birthday, from the time I booked to the minute we left the staff couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. We had a room overlooking the Loch which was lovely, very warm and cosy with a great big bath, perfect after a day walking. They arranged... More

This was a special birthday break - and our first visit to Islay. From the moment we arrived on the island after the short flighty from Glasgow we had a wonderful time.

It’s a perfect place to enjoy the... More

My wife and I recently spent a splendid week in Bowmore on Islay in the Harbour Inn. From our initial contact through our arrival and departure the staff was in every way friendly and helpful without being intrusive.

The menu was quite limited, but sometimes this can be an indication that the chef prefers quality, over quantity, of choice. I ordered the lobster, to... More

Visited again this year for dinner and was once again 1st class. Food,service and ambience were superb. The staff always ensure your visit is perfect and we returned home with fond memories of Islay and the Harbour Inn. Keep up the good work. Highly recommended.

Great accomodation which would suit all types of traveller. We ate in the main restaurant each night and the food was fantastic!!!!!!! Excellent breakfast aswell!!! The... More

The rooms are well kept with some offering spectacular views of the Loch from oversized rooms. All situated along main street in historic Bowmore, Islay. A must stay for the intrepid whisky traveller, the... More
