    Nothing at all.

    We liked everything! In particular the 5* luxury of the accommodation, the cosy comfortable beds, the spacious bathroom with underfloor heating and the superb breakfasts. But most of all we enjoyed meeting our host who was just so welcoming and couldn't do enough to make his guests feel at home and provide every convenience to make their stay special. We felt totally spoilt. Thank you so much, we loved staying with you.

    separate hot and cold water faucets for bathroom sink. inability to consume takeaway food in any of the common areas. access road off main thoroughfare in need of chuck hole repairs. we were happy to reuse our towels each day hanging them up, but these were replaced each day, probably unnecessarily.

    very welcoming, friendly, helpful host with great sense of humor, and commendable attitude of service to guests. exceptional breakfast! appreciate the use of a cooler with ice packs rotated daily.

    Not much and these are just small things which did not impact our stay but the road surface of the drive from the main road to the property is awful and full of potholes. Secondly, the pump in the shower in our room was very loud but as I said, these things are just small.

    A large, comfortable, cosy place to stay on Islay. Thomas (the wonderful chap who runs the place along with his wife) was amazing and made our stay even more special. Right from the minute we arrived we felt very welcome. Our room was large and well laid out with all the amenities you could need. The lounge was large and comfortable and the breakfast room was also a good size. The breakfasts were excellent and although there is a good menu, Thomas made it clear that they would try and accommodate anything we wanted. The location is excellent for visiting anywhere on the island. Thomas provided a small fridge for us which was a nice thought and he even allowed me to wash my car using a hose he had outside the building. I cannot praise Thomas highly enough, a truely exceptional host and a great place to stay.

    There’s nothing not to absolutely love about Skerrrols House.

    Thomas is the most attentive host I’ve ever come across. Along with his wife he keeps the accommodation beautifully presented and the breakfasts are second to none.

    i cant think of anything serious and don't want to make things up! how amazing is that!!! Nothing negative! Thomas thank you so much! we will come back!

    Breakfast was freshly made and exceptionally good! Thomas the host serves with a smile and goes the extra mile to make sure you are cared for in every way!! The house even has a drying room where you can dry your clothes after a wet walk in one of the nature reserves close by!! On top of that, if it is wet and muddy you can borrow wellies so your feet don't get soaked!!! the tv in the room has a freeview box and a serious amount of tv channels to enjoy snuggled in bed after a lovely hot shower in the massive walk in shower or a good soak in the free standing bath :)

    if i had to find a minus i would struggle, so i can only say as i am 6Ft my toes kept poking out of the blankets :) as the quilt is a proper English lenght :) which i don.t care about about as the mattress is super comfy!

    We were welcomed by Thomas the host, who is very welcoming and showed us around. The place clearly signposted from the road and the building and private parking is immaculate! The rooms are very spacey and the bathroom( almost the same space as the bedroom!! contains a walk in shower and there is a beautiful free standing bath! The house has a big cosy living room where you can relax or talk to other guests if you don't want to be alone in your room everything is finished in detail and after staying here we will come back and we agreed the price is a bargain for what you get!! Thank You Thomas! for a great stay and making us feel welcome!

    Nothing, it was perfect!

    We received a very warm welcome and a detailed tour of the house and its facilities. The bedroom and shower room/toilet were luxurious with all the facilities you could require. There was also a comfortable and welcoming lounge for guests. There was ample parking in the courtyard to the rear of the property. The range of food that was available for breakfast was extensive and absolutely delicious. The host was obviously born to be a host. He was an extremely helpful, charming, funny man whose sole purpose in life was to make the guests happy and comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble. This is very possibly the best B&B/Guesthouse I have ever stayed in and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Islay.

    As with other accommodations on Islay it was well over the price found on other parts of Scotland.

    Superb variety on display at breakfast, excellent service from friendly staff House was easy to find and to park. Comfortable public areas including lounges. It was possible to stay for just one night. Many other places on the island would not do this.

    We stayed here when completing some construction works at Port Ellen, the hotel was perfect and couldn't recommend highly enough. We had an early start on the Saturday and would have missed breakfast, we were treated to a pack up to take with us so we didn't miss out, a very thoughtful touch indeed.

    You need to realise that no evening meals are available - but Bowmore is near at hand with plenty of choice and more to drink.

    Delightful welcome from Tomasz who has run the place for many years and really enjoys his work. Excellent room and very good breakfast. The location in the most rural part of Islay is lovely. Beautifully presented room and everything works with a smile.

    The accommodations were wonderful. The bed and room were super cozy, the bathroom floor was heated, and the common spaces were well furnished with different games and comfy furniture. The hospitality we experienced was one of the best we’ve had so far. The host was so friendly and accommodating. We also tried the full Scottish breakfast, which was delicious. We would definitely stay here again if we’re in Islay in the future.

    Thomas the host was very attentive - nothing was too much hassle. He was present when needed but not in your face or personal space like I have experienced with some other hosts. The accommodation was very modern, comfortable and immaculately clean. I've also never tasted such a lovely breakfast. Again Thomas adapted the menu that he presents as a 'guide' in order to suit you're taste buds and/or dietary requirements! The continental and buffet food was fantastic too with a nice varied mix to choose from including some lovely fresh fruit!

    A bit pricey, but it was worth it. Wi-Fi was slow at times (but we could still watch Netflix during the evening).

    It was an emergency booking, they replied very quickly to confirm it. As we arrived, the manager prepared us some tea, and because we were without a vehicle (no food in the area) they treated us with a couple of sandwiches. The room was super clean and very comfortable, the breakfast was delicious and huge!

    The ONLY tiny thing was the water pressure was a little low in the bathroom we were in, perhaps as it was at the end of the plumbing system! It just took a while to fill the bath but the water was hot and it really didnt matter.

    The stay was so wonderful, we had an amazing time at Skerrols. Tomas was a great host, so welcoming and friendly and make a point of speaking kindly to my children so they felt at home. We loved the lounge area for the guests, the free drinks, chess area and being made to feel so welcome. The breakfast was the best we have ever had in a B and B, fresh fruits of all sorts and an amazing cooked option.
