    Excellent location overlooking the bay, wonderful view from the window. Very clean and comfortable. Parking directly outside. CoOp 2 mins away if needed. Great Chinese also very close. Imagine would be very busy in the summer.

    Ceramic or China cups or mugs would have been good rather than cardboard takeaway-style ones.

    Super clean, having a fridge and a table and chairs for takeaway food was great. The location was excellent.

    We were close to the co-op, two doors down from a great pub, and close to a great restaurant. The latter was very popular and the owner suggested we make reservations in advance because of their popularity. Beautiful view and served our needs admirably.

    There are no dislikes - we had a fabulous time and enjoyed Nialls hospitality and his cooked breakfasts at the Trout Fly around the corner.

    Niall was so welcoming and accomodating and the room is exactly as described with a gorgeous view of the beach and a stones throw from a restaurant, takeaway, pub, and post office! It is a perfect location to explore Islay and just around the corner from the start of the 3 distilleries walk.
